Superlux HD-681 Evo BK

5 years ago, I purchased my first Superlux HD-681 Evo. I was truly amazed by the sound for it's price. I was also satisfied with the durability as it has been extensively used and still works today, although the strap has torn off and one pair of the earpads have been weathered. That's why I decided to get a new one and also convinced some of my friends to try it out, although the price gone up that time, and we had to wait for a month because it was out of stock. Sadly as it turned out however, my second experience wouldn't be so positive this time. One of the headphones had a contact fault soon after unboxing and another one developed it in half a year. Both of them has it near the jack outlet so I reckon the part is weak by design. I don't know how frequent this annoying problem is, but I do not recommend buying the Superlux HD-681 Evo headphones because of this.
