These are for you defo Also the "plastic" headband is not very durable and after a year broke in my case so I replaced it with a leather one (self-made). I added a few layers of kitchen paper between the drivers and the covers to smooth off the treble and added some bass via the "Bass Booster" android app on my Pixel 4a (app highly recommend).

The bad----------The only few things I would consider bad is that for children, the headphone is a bit too large, and there is no easy way to make the headband smaller other than replacing it all together. Now comfortable for all day listening. I have owned one for almost a year now and have ordered 4 more for my sister, girlfriend and other people.

a bass and bass presence ) the lows are fantastic at this price , the overall bass response is on par with most hifi headphones, they beat all other budget headphones when it comes to bass quality , if you want even clearer bass ( cut the low-mid ( 60-100 hz ) by -2 db and low-high ( 100-150 hz ) by -2 db ) , the mids are very good as well they outperform most budget headphones and they're on par with much more expensive hifi headphones , the mid lows are very balanced , the mid-mids are a bit underemphasized by -1 db and mid-higs are overemphasized by 1db , but overall the details and voices are very clear and crisp , if you want clearer details and even more voice details ( boost the mid-mid ( 500-1000 hz ) by 1 db , and cut the hig-mid ( 1000-2000 hz , by 1 db ) overall amazing mids performance , treble ( highs ) are decent for this price , they don't beat the big sony and bose but is good enough for most people , the overall treble is overemphasized by 6db that makes the sound too bright , making the sound too loud and affecting the mids ( detailing ) and lows ( bass ) , you can try to repair the treble by ( cutting the mid treble by 6 db , cutting the low treble by 1 db and boosting the high treble by 1 db ) you can even get a rumble effect if you do this eq , overall if you're an audiophile like me and you eq the treble you can say that this headphones are out there with the best headphones on the market , overall compared to my akg n700nc headphones these budget cans are much clearer when it comes to overall performance ( considering you eq-ed them ) , compared to my earbuds sony wf-1000xm3 , is not really a comparison because earbuds are earbuds and headphones are headphones but I can say that these budget cans are much balanced overall than the sony's , the last thing to test is Soundstage, overall the Soundstage of these headphones is amazing but not perfect , these headphones are semi-open and they manage the Soundstage very well compared to a lot of full open headphones , the PRTF Accuracy is very good compared even to the sennheiser hd 800s that are thousands more expensive , the acoustic excitation is decent and the openness is amazing , if you value Soundstage and you're on budget these headphones are for you , if you want perfect Soundstage get the senheisser hd 800s , overall these headphones truly impressed me , they achieved as much as other high end headphones achieved at sound , aesthetics and comfort are not the main selling point but they're good for most people , but when it comes to sound these can achieve almost perfection and they're out there with the best , truly recommend them 9/10 , an amazing purchase k.

Great sound straight off but I tweaked to suit my ears. I replaced the leatherette covers with some velour ones (£10 or so) and made a softer headband from an old leather belt (you can carefully unscrew and take off the original).

These are my first budget headphones studio monitors and my first monitor headphones ever bought , I also own the akg n700nc and sony wf-1000xm3 , I am an young audiophile that loves and values sound quality , overall these headphones are amazing , let me start with lows ( a. Admittedly, comfort wasn't great out of the box. The HD681 is according to me the best headphone you can get for that price.
