Bought these for my husband 5 years ago and they are STILL working. And that's with him blasting them daily and even sometimes falling asleep while wearing them. The only down side is that they don't go as loud as most headphones, so he is always having to turn things up way louder than he would otherwise, and when we watch TV together with our headphone splitter I'm just grateful I have earbuds with volume control or else he would deafen me because he has to basically max it out to be able to hear what people are saying. So that's why I took one star off, but as far as durability, they have definitely withstood the test of time.

I've had the Superlux HD661 for several years now and I love them. Superlux makes really nice budget-friendly headphones and these are my favorite. They're solidly made and are perfect for tossing into your backpack when on the go (they come with a nice soft red bag to carry them in). I'm not worried about them getting jostled and breaking like other more expensive / delicate cans.
SOUND: Good! The sound is excellent for the price point, comparable to what I hear from $100+ headphones that I own (Bose AE2 and Incase Sonic). Hook these up to a headphone amp (like a FiiO) and be blown away. But if you're seriously searching for audiophile-quality sound, do your homework and look elsewhere.
LOOKS: Good! They're different from the ocean of Beats headphones you usually see people wearing, especially if you're on a college campus like me. They're fairly big, but certainly not ostentatious. They have a nice glossy finish and if you shop around they come in some other fun colors. I like wearing these on the commute because they fit comfortably over baseball or winter caps while still looking nice. The headphone band is fixed in place and not adjustable in the traditional sense - size / fit adjustment comes from the flexible "wings" at the top of the band. I actually like this feature since I think headphones with expandable bands (like what you see with Bose, Beats, etc.) look kinda stupid and I always have to fiddle around with them to get the right fit. Consider what your personal preferences are.
COMFORT: Your Mileage May Vary. These headphones are heavier than others. The weight comes from the solid plastic material these are made from. This makes them very durable but also gives them extra weight. You will feel this as you wear them, especially with the placement of the flexible wings at the top of the band. If you're someone who is sensitive to this sort of thing, these might not be the headphones for you. I personally like the way these feel and am not at all bothered by the weight. But others might be. They have a nice closed-ear design that helps block out ambient noise and the pads become softer as you wear them.
If you're looking for an affordable, nice sounding pair of headphones with a different look from the usually options, give the Superlux HD661 a try!

I read about these headphones on headfonia's website review. I ended up ordering a pair for my brother because I didn't really need a pair... I have a few pairs of Sennheisers (HD-280pro, PX100-ii, PX200-ii, CX200 earbuds, and had the PX100s) and another AKG K99... what can I say, I'm a sucker for <$100 headphones. So although I can't compare them to the Sony's that they're often compared to, I will say I listened to them, loved them and ended up buying a pair for myself.
The fit is very comfortable (I have a big head, and the HD-280pros hurt after awhile) and physically they feel good and not cheap. They sound awesome, definitely a brighter sound compared to Sennheiser's darker sound, and can definitely benefit through a headphone amp.
I suppose these are more aimed against the Beats portable headphones though, seeing that they're offered overseas in multiple colors. From my experience with Beats, they're overpriced and they colorize the sound quite a bit making them poor monitoring headphones. Personally, even though I'm not using the HD661s for monitoring, I prefer a more accurate sound even for casual listening.
For only $40, no brainer. Get these. And while the other reviewer says these sound exactly like $50 headphones... I disagree. The AKG K99 are $50 headphones. The PX100-ii are $50 headphones (that I love, but the build quality is fragile, evident by the PX100s that broke on me and countless other people). I would argue these sound like $75-$100 headphones.

Good sound overall, before it stopped working. They're very tight on the head; I would have hoped it would loosen up more over time, but I'm not optimistic given the sturdy metal frames. The head rest simply isn't a good design, with only the ends of the two "arms" supporting the top of the head. A "sling" type would be much better.
This is all irrelevant because the right side just stopped working after ten days. I don't know whether to bother going for a return or just throw it out, this is just irritating. The crummy $20 headphones I got four years ago work just fine.

Audiophiles stay away. This headphone is by no means perfect, but for its price and intended use I think it performs great. Because it is closed back and $40, its frequency response and sound quality aren't amazing; that being said, for $40 it is probably the best closed back headphone you can find. Superlux does an amazing job at replicating expensive headphone designs and sounds. If you are looking for a headphone that you can listen good music or game with at home, this isn't it. Get a pair of open-back headphones for that unless you absolutely can't have people hearing what you are, they will always sound better, period. But if you're like me and are looking for a pair of headphones to bring with you when you go out, these are perfect. They passively isolate sound well, have a low impedance so you don't need to bring an amp with you wherever you go, fit the head snugly so they won't fall off when walking, are fairly comfortable (I can listen for 1-2 hours before my ears get hot and sweaty), and are affordable. I would definitely recommend these.

Sony MDR-V6s on a budget
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 9, 2015Verified Purchase
Want a pair of Sony MDR-V6 but on a budget? Then these are the headphones for you! The soundscape is incredibly similar with a very balanced neutral tone. Although I have heard some say the treble is a little harsh I myself had no major problems playing Hard Rock and Heavy Metal through these, cutting back on the 4k frequency did take out a lot of the edginess in the sound but your mileage my vary. I did notice the sound also become softer after I broke them in over a short period, if you do buy a set of these I recommended leaving your audio playing through it whilst you are away at work for a few days which'll speed up the process.
So we have a pair of headphones with some quality drivers in them for a fraction of the price of equivalent sound quality models, there's got to be a catch right? Sadly yes, the build quality isn't particularly "premium" and they are quite uncomfortable to wear over long periods as they have very significant clamping on all but the smallest of heads. I did buy some velour pads (that were originally for the DT770 so any pads for that will fit this) to replace the "pleather" ones that came in the box which made them slightly more comfortable but the clamping is still noticeable and it can make the tops of my ears sore.
I originally gave this product a 4 star review as there are notable cons but then I thought about it and figured that, for the price, these legitimately have to be one of the best value headphones on the market right now for the sound quality, so to begrudge it for its poor build quality would be expecting too much of it. Highly Recommended

Best headphones under £100.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 23, 2016Verified Purchase
These are the most revealing headphones I have owned. There are plenty of reviews on the internet and many report harsh treble and lack of low level bass. My experience is treble is indeed harsh at first but improves massively after a few hours use. Bass can be lite but is dependent on the source and amp you are using. I mostly use a Raspberry Pi/Hifi Berry Digi+, feeding a Sanskrit Pro Dac and Topping TP21 amp. This is a budget setup in keeping with the very low cost Superlux. However, I have also used the headphones with a Ruizu X06 MP3 player (£20 from Amazon) and the results were excellent corded or Bluetooth. Obviously I was listening to FLAC and not MP3 files. The only problem I have is there is no real adjustment and the fit is dependent on the size of your head. To deal with this I have ordered a replacement Headband Cushion Pad for Sennheiser HD-Series headphones. The measurements suggest this will fit Superlux as well. If you are looking for sub £100 headphones you need to add Superlux to your list.

i thought these might be a bit cruddy but the sound quality is superb and the build is plenty good enough. wouldnt take them around with me as they're too big and would probably get knackered in a bag with other stuff, but for home use ace. i use them to listen to music and also record my own stuff. nice, flat sound. a bargain

Really great quality. Excellent at picking up speaking, which is what I need them for primarily. Also good bass tones.
