Hello. I need to buy a new headphones. And I wonder which one is better: Superlux HD681 Evo or Sennheiser HD 598Cs ?
I need to buy one of them. The first cost 50€. The second 100€ (It should cost 230€ but it's black friday so it's cheaper).
Actually I use Superlux HD681 Evo but after a year they're starting to give me some problem... I'm pretty happy with the sound quality of Superlux HD681 Evo but they really last few months... in the last two year I need to buy 3 times this headphone. I'm searching something with better material that could last more time but the same audio quality. Of course if the audio quality is even better it's not a problem. On another forum someone suggest me Sennheiser HD 598Cs.  He said that have better quality than Superlux and for 100€ are must-buy.

Anyway I'm a little bit worryed about Sennheiser HD 598Cs. There are just 5 review on Amazon. 4 of them are Vine review, so that guys get the Headphone for free. And of course these are all 5 stars review. The fifth review is from a customer. He is the only one who actually paid to get the headphone and he say the audio quality is terrible. He leaved 1 star.
 
I really don't know who believe. Could you please tell me your advice? Thank you

I haven't used the Superlux, but I'd go for the Sennheiser if I were you. I haven't tried it yet, but from what I've read it is tuned similarly to the 598 ( which I have had and use regularly for a few years). The general build quality will likely be better with the Sennheiser.
Edit: I meant to also mention Superlux is a cheaper brand in general, and just saw speculation on my part, probably will not offer you the refined sound of the 598C.

Hands down the Sennheiser HD598Cs.
They're just on another level, Superlux its a budget headphone, don't get it wrong, they aren't even comparable with serious labels like sennheiser/beyer/etc.
