Superlux HD-662 F

I put these up against my Sony Pro studio phones. Result: The Sony is a little more efficient, more comfortable, and the timbre with definition is better. How much better is the issue. The Superlux is good enough is the answer. Would I suggest mixing for accuracy in the studio? No, but you could. Low mid high, it's all there. Comfortable enough to do the job. The non-coiled cord is a benefit as it doesn't get tangled and the effective length is there and ready. My reason to buy these was to use live. The Sony's fold up which a pain compared to the Superlux which is a standard design. Also I'm not banging an expensive headphone around which is a reality in the live setting. The isolate quite well, probably better than the Sony. As an example I listened to music then turned on the shop vacuum without the vacuum being a problem. As I elude to in the heading, what more does a person want in this price range? They work well enough to buy two. And though I haven't tried I am guessing a soft replacement velour pad will likely be of great comfort improvement. But at a cost in loosing some seal. You have to scrutinize the purpose. For my purpose these are a winner.

I've had these for over two years now and use them for tracking, mixing and mastering songs in my home studio. These are usually plugged into my Focusrite Forte interface but I do use them for general listening.

As I've had them for over two years they've been burnt in for a quite a while now. I was very impressed with them initially but found them a little forward in the upper EQ regions. After around 50 hours or so of use this tamed itself down and they're now just as natural as any of the £150 range of studio headphones that I've tried from the likes of AKG, Sennheiser and the like. I actually spent several weeks auditioning studio headphones in the £150-£200 price range using three reference tracks for each. The bass is nice a tight and accurate and not booming or overstated. Upper mids and highs will sweeten down with use. They're very clear and accurate.

I marked them down a little for comfort as they will be a bit clampy at first but they do soften up over time - a few months I'd say - and can be comfortable for an hour or two. You'd most likely need a break to let your ears rest first anyway.

These are a fantastic bargain and I highly recommend them for your first set of studio headphones. Don't let the stupidly low price put you off these.

Finally, if you want to really annoy anyone with a set of Beats headphones, buy them a pair of these, let them hear the superior sound quality, them show them the price tag. :)

I love these headphones. So much so that I've purchased a few pairs, just in case a pair ever breaks and I can't get them from anywhere any more. That said, I've been using my first set on a daily basis, as well as for rehearsals and gigs, for quite some years now and haven't had a problem with them yet.
The sound quality is brilliant - crisp trebles, nice mids and just the right amount of bass - they're super comfy (I wear them for 4 or 5 hours at a time with no comfort issues), they're nice and light and the closed back on them really deadens the sound from one's environment (I use them as my gig monitors with no problems, although my ears do get quite warm in them). I've tried many different headphones down the years and these out perform and out comfort most stuff, including sets many times more expensive than these.
In summary, ace headphones for an incredibly ace price.

I bought a pair of these to replace broken headphones at my youth clubs studio and after finishing a long weekend of recording with these I can safely say they are great headphones for a studio environment. There is virtually no bleed from the cans and they provide a good sound for tracking with.

Opening the pack they do seem a little plasticy and cheap but if you take care of your gear then I think these should last a long time. I'm actually considering buying a second pair because i was so impressed by them especially in this price bracket I don't think you can get better unless you pay at least double if not more

The only complaint was that they left the ears feeling a little sweaty after long usage but I think we were on about 8 hours recording at that point so everything gets a little sweaty by then.

In short get yourself a pair of these you wont be disappointed
