Sony MDR-7506 vs Superlux HD 681

They also get very loud/\s/ when using them. With my Macbook Pro, I find 30/\s/volume to be plenty when listening to the 7506s/\s/ You hear the sounds...

In high quality, and compared it with other headphones of mine (Beyerdynamic 770 Pro for example.) and my KRK VXT8 speakers. But most of all I was astonished that my Superlux Evo 681 sounded better. Are you serious?

And then I play it back through an objective DAC and an O2 objective amp running through a Mac that is placed on headphones right over top of these ea...

I have a small head and the clamping has left me in pain with its circumaural design. Bottom earcups rest right at my jaw line and is not a comfortable thing. Overall its a descent buy to get a peak into the open can world. There's a reason why any one person would spend $300 on a Sennheiser or Beyer or Grado

I had a pair of orig V6s back in the day and they eventually broke at the slider mount for the earpiece when I sat on them. These are prolly weak in the same way. Should otherwise be durable and long lived.

But this same snugness helps keep them from slipping and maintains a good acoustic clamshell. They are B-I-G, and not "foldable," and the storage sack they come with is a bit laughable when you try to stuff them into it. I will most likely only use these at my home desk or when I stream movies or play games. The cord is overly long, which I suppose I will appreciate when I'm not using my laptop and plug into my desk monitor

Nevertheless, I'm still happy with the design. They are comfortable on my large head, and the cord is just the right length and looseness for me.

A screw-on 1/4in jack is included. Both jacks are gold-plated. Also supplied is a carrying bag. Comfort: (6/10) The ear-pads are somewhat on the small size (although they do go around the ears) but they are pretty stiff and they do cause (at least to me) some discomfort

I spend about half my day talking to people, and the other half with my head down working. The trouble is, the people around me are in the same situation, and our quiet parts of the day are seldom aligned, plus we are all loud talkers, so my office is usually really noisy. The first two headsets I tried were earbud headsets. One set (Shure e2c) accomplished sound-isolation via earbuds composed of foam earplugs

Now unless I use Bluetooth headphones, I can only hear out of one ear when I'm on my phone. Full disclosure again: My phone is an LG G2, which isn't the newest phone, but it's nowhere near the point where it should be breaking. Also, my warranty has been voided for almost a year now, so that's just going to have to be something I'll have to deal with now. So I returned them

So I can't give a great review since I am lacking in knowledge regarding sound equipment so my opinion would be amateurish at best. However, it is hard to beat the price for a good headphone like this.

* Superlux HD 681: bought it some time ago when first getting into headphones as they are rightly praised for being very good value, nowadays I'd offer these to guests if they are not into headphones and need headphones for some reason. They sound really good for the price, but I have better things now. Used very seldom, I'd probably give these to a friend or family member if they want them or need headphones when getting the Aeon 2 Noire.
