Best bang for buck product in ages
By: Stephen on 19 January 2023The extended bass, mids and supposed ‘hyped’ higher frequencies sound great to these 57 year old, slightly deaf ear holes. I’m going to do some mixing with these, and I HATE headphone mixing, they normally give me a headache. These are comfortable, and the fact you can hear whats going on in the back ground, makes for a relaxed and less claustrophobic experience. When did open back headphones become a thing? I really should get out of my dumpster more often. Well done Artist on another cracking transaction.

Best cheap wired headphones, PERIOD
By: Himalaya Khajanchi on 14 December 2022I've always used cheap closed back headphones with my previous one being a Sennheiser HD400S. I wanted to get into high end audio so when I saw these and the reviews people left I thought "hmm maybe I can spend a bit less and just test out the open back experience before throwing the big money" and oh boy was I impressed with this thing. I've always been a casual music enjoyer and when I heard the sound of the Superlux for the first time, I immediately put the Sennheiser in storage. The sound at 40 dollars is just mind blowing, I heard details and notes in music that I never heard before and the songs overall sounded so much more high res, even though the source is Spotify! Despite being open back the bass can be POWERFUL if using an equaliser to pump the lower frequencies a bit. Wire is easily long enough for me to jam and walk around my room. Overall the sound alone makes this the best 40 bucks you can spend on some wired headphones. If you don't need a mic I'd say it's the best overall budget wired headphones ever, and don't be afraid of the "monitor" label, you can absolutely enjoy casual music. There is sound leakage but it's not loud at all, though I still would not recommend it for use if people are sitting next to you. If music is loud then there is surprisingly good sound isolation with it blocking out sounds like your heater fan running. Like all consumer goods this isn't perfect. As you can imagine some corner had to be cut deep to get this price, and that corner was cut in build quality. Plastic is light and the earcups make a creaking sound when moved. Cheapest plastic for a headband and hard foam in the earpads. Despite being semi open the ears heat up after an hour or two and the pads are drenched in sweat after that. The wire doesn't isolate noise that well so when you tap it you'll hear it in the headphone. At least the whole thing is light as. Due to being a monitor it does not perform that well with dialogue, which definitely sounded better in my Sennheiser. Tldr of the review is, best sounding cheap headphone money can buy, the hype is well justified. However if long wearing comfort and build quality is a priority then definitely spend a little extra.

The Superlux HD681 Headphones
By: Richard Kerr on 11 October 2022I bought a second pair of theses headdphones, so impressed was I by the sound quality of the inital pair, which was for my wife for use during her recovery from a serious illness. I find the clarity and wide frequency range of the sound to be excellent, great treble and firm bass. Absolutely impressive for the asking price of $39, shipping included. I would say that one would pay a lot more to get the same level of performance and quality from other headphone brands. Furthermore they are lightweight and very comfortable to wear, even for long listening periods. An absolute bargain! Highly recommended.

Great value headphones
By: Kay on 29 June 2022Found this over at RTINGS as "Best Budget Studio Headphones" and thought I'd try. I record song covers in my room as a hobby and thought I'd get a budget/entry level studio headphones, and I think these are perfect! I was surprised to see the packaging isn't a box but I guess I get what I pay for. The plastic cover was torn when it arrived but the headphones weren't damaged or anything. They sound awesome! They fit comfortably too. The reviews don't lie for this one and I'm glad I got one for myself. Highly recommended for the price.

Superlux HD681
By: Carl on 7 September 2021After reading a heap of reviews for a great entry openback option I decided on the HD681. Ordered them cheap from Artist Guitars and can't be happier with the speed and ease of delivery and the sound quality of these headphones. The build quality is inline with the price but the sound is amazing. I picked up some XL velour pads to replace the stock ones (which weren't as bad as people said online). If you're looking for an entry pair of open back headphones these are hard to pass up. Cheers guys.

Seriously Good Headphones
By: Michael Lee on 26 August 2021These are seriously good headphones. I tried them on various musical styles from classical (Holst's The Planets) through to a very ordinary audience recording of Flo & Eddie live. With the classical, every note and nuance in the music came through with amazing clarity. With Flo & Eddie it was almost like being on stage with them. I heard things I'd never heard before when listening to this. If I had to quibble, it would simply be that I'm not a great fan of open or semi-open headphones and found I had to turn the volume up just a tad. But that's probably more to do with my hearing than these headphones. I've already recommended to some friends that they should check these out. And you can't beat the price!

Superlux HD681 headphones
By: Tim Brandis on 24 August 2021I ordered these headphones after reading a review in the SMH & they have surpassed my expectations. I listen to a lot of classical music from the Baroque period where there is a wide range of timbres & instrument volumes,the harpsichord in particular shines. They also work wonderfully with more modern masterpieces from Pink Floyd to Santana to Stevie Ray Vaughn. Did I mention the outstanding value? A big shout out to Artist Guitars for the impeccable customer focus from order to delivery to post delivery - absolutely excellent.

Artist GNOSIS6 Electric guitar
By: Anonymous on 23 August 2021The blue finish on the body was flawless and looks like a much more expensive Superstrat. Neck & binding is also quite nice for a guitar at this price. Tuning pegs are ok, but not consistent. Having said that the guitar does surprisingly stays in tune. Humbuckers aren't bad and I get some serious hard rock and metal tones. Great value alternative to a ESP, Schecter or Ibanez.

Artist TC59 Electric Guitar
By: Anonymous on 23 August 2021Never owned a telecaster style guitar, but very impressed with the TC59. Nice maple neck with satin finish, Amercian ash body that has a solid feel and humbucker pickups that have balls! What's even better is you can coil split the humbuckers and you have a single coil tele with the classic tele sound in the bridge- what's not to like! Only flaw was the tone control was a bit off centre. Apart from that, great value tele.

Wide and rich sound for unbelievably low price!
By: Vu on 19 August 2021I was amazed when I tried on these headphones, it had a wide soundstage and very rich sound for the price that you pay! Sits very comfortably on my head and I could wear it for hours. Few things to note: the cable is very long and since it's an open back, everyone and their mum is going to be able to hear what you're listening to so I'd advise against using these in eg. public transport, library. Overall solid headphone.

Awesome headphones
By: Hurley on 18 August 2021I really like these headphones. Though the plastic feels a bit cheap, the ingenious headband design more than makes up for it. It also sounds great aswell. The open back nature makes the music sound more “real” If that makes sense. Pretty hard to beat for 40$!

By: Roy Kettlewell on 18 August 2021Not the best of impressions on first handling. They felt very plasticky and cheap. However the cable is substantial and the screw fit adaptor is a step up from usual. They fit well due to the auto adjustable headband and remain pleasant to wear. Have used them for both movies and music and so far very good at both.

HD681 Superlux
By: Greg Smith on 18 August 2021I bought these out of curiosity, from a Green Guide review, not really believing headphones this cheap (economical?) could sound this good. You learn something new all the time, as I have, and although I have other ‘phones costing upwards of $500, these were a real surprise. And for $39 delivered? , you can’t go wrong. Too bad they’re not Bluetooth, but at the price, I suppose that’s asking just a bit too much. Cheers.

Surprisingly Good!
By: Iain Chalky White on 22 July 2021After having several pairs of Sennheisers, Audio Technica, Sony’s, Technics, AKG etc I must admit I read reviews of these very inexpensive headphones with some scepticism but at $39 inc postage, what was there to lose? 1-2 months on, am very impressed. Played via a NAD amp and iPhone and with both they sound terrific, much better than many more expensive ones. I’m not an audiophile, so I can’t give anyone the details of what makes them great ... it’s not the look, the unashamedly use of lots of plastics or the bold name across the head band, but they do sound really good. Any dislikes, beyond aesthetics? Well after listening for 2-3 hours they can feel marginally uncomfortable and a bit sweaty, that’s the plastic to thank for that but they are definitely worth a 4 star if you didn’t know the price and a 6 or 7 star when you do. Thanks Artistsguitars!

Better than expected
By: Brett Southwick on 1 July 2021I was pleasantly surprised by the Superlux HD681 Headphones. They look a bit dated in appearance I would you would call it a retro look. But once you get past the look, they are fine. Lots of plastic so they are light. The ear covers are over sized and fit any head and comfortable to wear for extended periods. Ideal for monitoring audio.Great value for money. As they say buy some today.

Superlux super good
By: Markie Linhart on 24 May 2021Having read an online review of the HD681 headphones in the SMH my curiosity was piqued. Nothing gets my audio attention like mention of the word bass. Let me explain, I have a two channel hifi set up that includes a subwoofer. Not for muddied doof doof rather finger-plucking standup acoustic - and four string electric of course. So I was excited to get this baby in the mail today (super quickly as well) and I hooked it up firstly to my CD player. I put on Herbie Hancock’s Dis Is Da Drum. Bang, right there deep clean bottom end, nice mids and crisp tops. Next came Trapezoid’s Handy Farm another bass heavy recording. Same deal, bottom, mids and top. Next I put on a record or three.

Superlux super good
By: Markie Linhart on 24 May 2021Having read an online review of the HD681 headphones in the SMH my curiosity was piqued. Nothing gets my audio attention like mention of the word bass. Let me explain, I have a two channel hifi set up that includes a subwoofer. Not for muddied doof doof rather finger-plucking standup acoustic - and four string electric of course. So I was excited to get this baby in the mail today (super quickly as well) and I hooked it up firstly to my CD player. I put on Herbie Hancock’s Dis Is Da Drum. Bang, right there deep clean bottom end, nice mids and crisp tops. Next came Trapezoid’s Handy Farm another bass heavy recording. Same deal, bottom, mids and top. Next I put on a record or three. St Germaine, Massive Attack v Mad Professor Part ll and some Blue Note - Lee Morgan’s Sidewinder. All insanely good with these super good comfy headphones and I might add at an insane price...

Audio headphones
By: Andrew on 1 December 2020After looking for suitable and suitably priced headphones that I could use to practice guitar without ticking off the neighbours, I decided on these. I find them comfortable to wear for the longer periods of practice and the sound is fine.
Superlux HD681 - Really Super
By: Cesare on 17 November 2020I purchased these from Artist Guitars a few weeks back for use as monitoring cans in a radio studio. I am impressed with the sound quality which has a good amount of bass but not overwhelming. Vocals are very clear and there is little if any sibilance. The HD681s are comfortable to wear for a few hours without your ears getting too warm and are quite light, yet they seem well made and look and feel more expensive than they are. There is a good amount of adjustment in the headband and the cord, at 2 metres or so, is plenty long enough when sitting at a console. All in all, they look, feel and sound great and are a good buy.
Great Product
By: Jarrod Hill on 13 October 2020What can I say. These studio headphones are amazing quality & value for money. Will be buying more in the future
Bought as a gift
By: Felicity Morunga on 29 September 2020Bought it as a gift for my son kept complaining he's been thru so many and hasn't found 1 he liked till now will definitely buy another for my nephew
superlux hd681
By: Stephen on 18 September 2020these head phones are a lot like mono-price retro in sound, big fun bass,( bass head heaven), but you have to change the pads they are like rocks its softer with out them, they are so bad i gave them to my kids to play quoits with, but if you do two things to them they go from original form rubbish to modded gold. get brainwavz XL pads hybrid $39 same cost as headphones i know but well and truly worth it as you will hear, easy to fit and perfect fit, also put the padding that comes with the ear pads behind new ear pads it quells the sibilant highs, then you will have one of the best sounding headphones under $200 dollars i have modded lots of headphones, and this one is one of the best for sound changes, and comfort ever, also you can lighten the clamping force a bit just bend the headband up a touch. 5 stars for value 4,5 stars for sound 5 stars for super quick delivery and service, 0 stars for comfort and 6 stars after modded.happy listening.
Wicked value!
By: Anonymous on 2 September 2020I was curious when I purchased these cans, and boy was I rewarded! They're a great cheap solution for monitoring mixes and for use when dubbing tracks over, does the job and leaves the wallet grinning.
Wow. Just WOW
By: Zac on 16 August 2020I bought these as a present for my sibling and picked up a pair for myself too because well they are $39... Oh my god these are legitimately amazing sounding! My Audio-technica ATH-M20x headphones do not have the range these do. It is extremely rich sounding and brought a whole extra dimension to my music files. The low ends are balanced, the high ends have extra depth to them. These are seriously worth 4x the price for the audio quality. Just... wow 100% recommend for pleasure listening and referencing. I have just put them on my head and just... they are so good!
JUST BUY IT..DON'T THINK FURTHER
By: Pramod Vittal on 15 July 2020JUST BUY IT...DON'T THINK FURTHER By: Pramod Vittal on 3 July 2020 ( already posted on 3/7/20 but re submitting with a few minor changes ..) AMAZING Value for 39 bucks. Cannot get any better. Just buy it ! They are bright, clear & unbelievable value for the price.There is a sea of overanalysed opinions about these set of cans on the net...some people say it's too sharp.... but hey !... one can find faults even with a two thousand dollar pair of head phones. On an average these headphones are clear ,bright and perform better in many categories than cans costing 5 - 10 times the price . They have amazing sound stage. With any form of listening or monitoring - the listener's taste quiet subjective. Mainly it depends on the sound mix,your type of audio file (sampling rates) ,the standard of recording, the mastering, the type of music player or amps being to used to plug these set of headphones into. You will be surprised of the value the HD681s offer for under $40. I own headphones that are 20 times costlier than the 681s but I still love these for many reasons. The staff at Artist's Guitars are super helpful and super professional. Their postage and deliveries are on time and prompt. I am very happy with my purchase.

BANG FOR THE BUCK! BETTER THAN SAMSON SR850/SR950
By: Anonymous on 12 June 2020clear flat sounding, definitely usable as studio monitoring headphones. If youre on a budget, then this is strongly recommended
Bang for your buck
By: Pieter Siebel on 5 June 2020Plenty of bang for your buck with these headphones. Perfect for listening to yourself playing your Artist guitar. Good for listening to music but lacks depth of field but hey, for the price...
A good choice!
By: Phillip Rowe on 26 May 2020These headphones are comfortable, with a reasonable length cord and I believe that they look very pro, as well. I've run them through my studio desk, and even an iPad, and they just do a great job. The fact that they only cost $39.00 shouldn't deter anyone! I have purchased other different brands of headphones (as you do over the years!) and these are comparable to my other more expensive models. I guess that technology has increased in leaps and bounds, because years ago you would've had to pay a lot more for gear of this quality! Thanks, AG!
good quality
By: rebecca on 22 May 2020nice design, good quality
nice headphones
By: iwane on 20 April 2020i am using this for home recording. it is good size and decent quality headphones. cable is long enough to keep the headphones on while you play instruments like guitar or bass. highly recommend.
Super
By: Anthony on 10 March 2020HD681's, Great sound and seperation of high and low frequencies. Quite comfy for big earmuffs/caps and a nice long lead. For the price and value 5 stars. Another 5 stars for Postage. Thanks once again to the Artist Crew.
OUTSTANDING
By: Tim on 23 January 2020Super fast delivery (2 days). The comfort is nothing special but the sound quality totally exceeded my expectations. Value to quality ratio big time...you'd he hard pressed to find a better sound for $40. I broke these in watching 'It Chapter Two' thru a Yamaha receiver...the soundstage/layering produced was impressively immersive...made me laugh how good the sound quality was compared to how littlle I spent. If you're thinking of purchasing these...DO IT!!!
Superlux HD 681
By: Adrian Grulke on 20 November 2019These headphones have replaced my old worn out Sennheiser 201and they do a very good job. They sound slightly better, actually. I use them for monitoring when I record and mix music in GarageBand. Very happy with this purchase.
Headphones
By: Marc Scully on 15 May 2019I've purchased a number of items for my business - Studio 57 Recording. Artist always give A Grade support & outstanding after sales service. Recently had an issue with some headphones, swapped out for me on the spot. I cant recommend AG highly enough! Marc Scully / Studio 57 Recording. www.facebook.com/groups/277212382485912
Great buy!
By: Breanna on 4 April 2019These headphones are excellent. The sound quality is great and the headphones are durable. They’re also quite comfortable and light. A great buy and more than worth the money.
Great Sounding Headphones
By: Anonymous on 21 September 2018I got these h/phones with the Medeli A300 keyboard pack. Very good audio clarity, clear, bright and well balanced sound with a tight solid bass. Excellent monitoring headphones. If you were buying them as a separate item they represent good value. Thanks for the tip below about the velour pad covers, I will try some of those for extra comfort.
Great headphones
By: Nicola on 19 July 2018Very high good headphones that can compete with other high quality headphones for a fraction of the price.
Great value
By: roshan weddikkara on 2 June 2018Using these to monitor my bass practice. Excellent tonal range and general sound
Sounds So Good
By: RJ on 24 May 2018My grandson is very hard on headphones, I saw these @ Artist Guitars and thought I would give them a go. Like everything from Artist they arrived on time and as described, I must say they are far better than I expected and my grandson loves them. They provide good sound and are comfortable to use on his PC, now all we need is another pair for his amp. :)
Good but need modification
By: Anthony on 30 May 2017Insanely cheap and very bright, a huge bump in the high end and fairly awful to begin with. I used some thin foam packing material and put it behind the OEM ear foam - much fllatter and I'm very happy with them, have solid low end out of the.. bag/box but it does drop off somewhat as they burn in. I have a small head and found them to sit way too tightly to begin with, had to remediate that with some gentle counter bending. Very comfy now but the earpads are a bit sweaty on warmer days - the AKG velour ear pads fit (k240) and there are even options offered on Ebay that state with specificity the HD681. Great headphone for the price if you are getting old or are able to modify.
Extremely good value for money
By: TS on 24 May 2017I'd read lots of reviews of these extremely cheap headphones and must say that I, like many others, think that they're extremely good value for money. For sure there's a hint of treble brightness on some recordings and this can be a little annoying (say with some violin recordings). However these headphones present music in a very detailed and engaging manner. I find they provide me with a relaxing listening experience. There's enough detail and balance with enough base and mids to present music in quite an accurate manner. My mention of the treble is really only a minor bit of pickyness. I might be tempted to make up a simple capacitor arrangement to tame this. I only mention this because some reviews make the treble sound overbearing, it isn't. Indeed it might be that these headphones are simply accurately presenting what's coming off my CD player. I listen to these headphones with a CMOY amp attached to the line out of an old base model Sony CD player. At 32 ohms these headphones certainly don't need a headphone jack as they're easy to drive but I don't have a headphone jack so ...If I was using an amplifier I might knock the treble down a notch. But... It is being picky and complaining about the sound quality of of these headphones is a real first world problem. In terms of comfort I have a large head (63cm hat size) with fair sized ears and these headphone fit me comfortably and their very large ear pads cover my ears which is much more comfortable than the old Sennheiser HD202's that I was using. My ears can get a little sweaty from the pleather pads so I've order some 6 buck velour replacements. I listen for about an hour or so at a time. Mostly in the evenings. These headphones are semi-open so they don't shut the world out and people can hear what you're listening to. I mention this in case as I'm not sure that this would be appropriate for true studio monitoring use. Build quality seems solid. Can't complain at this price. The red accents look much better in real life than they do online - less garish, more muted. The cable seems to be of good quality. I haven't noticed the cable or headphones picking up any microphonic sounds or interference from mobile phones, WIFI routers, etc. All of these are nearby in the room where I listen. Overall I've listening to better headphones, but not better for <$40. I think you'd have to spend a lot more to better these headphones which seem to have developed a bit of cult following online.

We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Website. Persistent Cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions. Cookies may enable automatic logins when you visit in the future and may enable content customisation.

• User-centric security cookies to detect authentication abuses for a limited persistent duration, like repeated failed login attempts. These cookies are set for the specific task of increasing the security of our Website.
• Multimedia content player session cookies (flash cookies) are used for the duration of a session to store technical data needed to play back video or audio content (e.g. image quality, network link speed, and buffering parameters).
• Load balancing session cookies are used for the duration of the session to identify the same server in the pool in order for the load balancer to redirect user requests appropriately.
• User interface customisation persistent cookies are used to store a user’s preference regarding a service across web pages.
