New Head-Fier
Pros: deep and defined bass, warm, light, sturdy and easy to modify
Cons: big cans, isolation is weak, lack of airyness unless modified
I got those from thomann.de for 28€, shipping included :wink:
I own and am used to Sennheiser px-100, cx880, Etymotic hf2. 
I wanted to get detailed headphones like Etymotic hf2, but warm, and comfortable for longer period of time. 
After investigating many models, reading review & comparisons, and actually testing headphones on my own, I got settled with Superlux 681EVO White. 
 
With Superlux 681EVO i used:  -3db for 30-150Hz, +4db 1-6 kHz.. extra +2db for 4kHz additionaly
Those settings produce very balanced, yet worm and detailed sound. This makes every kind of music nice, but well mastered jazz and orchestral music is very impressive. 
Sound stage is wide and deep, with clear separation of instruments. 
 
Lack of  "airyness" compared to Etymotic hf2, but detailed, layered presentation that can be listened to for hours. (a half star is lost here).
 
I listen the music in flac form, from either my notebook or Samsung S4 phone, and everyset of headphones I own has their EQ settings that I use to compensate for their weak points. 
When used with velour pads, those cans can be worn for hours. 
Lack of isolation is both a good thing and a bad thing. However, I must sometimes make the sound louder in medium noisy environment.. (there goes a half star away). 
 
Conclusion - the music through 681EVO brings smile to your face. Is there more to be found?
