Superlux headphones sound better than they look

2013-08-13
hi I'm ty Pendlebury from CNET and this is a look at the super luxe HD 681 headphones the headphone market is booming at the moment but if you want good sound you have to look pretty hard monitor headphones have been around as long as there have been consumer models while they don't usually look very pretty they're often well built cheap and sound great into that category we'd put the Tonys super luxe HD six eight ones you can find these online for only thirty bucks and they certainly have the butt-ugly thing going on for starters it's covered in knobs that make it look like a my first sewing machine and what are these things clocks what's the time it's headphones time terrible looks aside these are pretty well made for the money and fit comfortably around the ear as they don't fold it at all they do come with a cloth carry bag so they look awful and are cheap but do they sound good well nowhere near as balanced as the $60 sony v6 headphone but they do have plenty of travel detail dynamically they're not very good and can compress music Evon has not already compressed this is particularly true with bright sounding recordings but bass is quite controlled and they can go pretty deep without distortion if you want headphones that will help you enjoy the music this isn't them but if you want headphones that will help you listen out for flaws in recordings or to make TV more intelligible these would work great the fact that they're available for the change from a cab fare is even better this has been Ty Pendlebury for seniors
