Ressemblant au Senheiser HD25, il s'avère que le son est vraiment aussi bon ! Une copie quasi conforme !J'ai comparé ce casque à un hd25 et la réponse en fréquence est flagrante. Mais on ne paye pas le prix d'un hd25 !! (5 fois moins cher)Petit bémol quand même sur la qualité du plastique, je ne sais pas combien de temps il va tenir, mais il ne parait pas très solide. Les finitions ne sont pas celle, justifiées par le prix, du HD25.Edit : Après un an d’utilisation, un défaut gênant est apparu : régulièrement le côté gauche du casque ne fonctionne pas et il faut débrancher et rebrancher l’oreillette. Dérangeant...

First things first - these are not 100% the same sound as Hd25But for the price they're a steal. Basically you're getting about 80-90% of the hd25 sound for a fifth of the price !!Comfortwise they're pretty much as tight and clampy as the real McCoy and in all honesty build quality isn't that bad.The only problem build wise was that when I opened my box the sticky leatherette pads from inside the headband had come off and stuck to the card of the packaging. Not a massive problem but would have been nice if the supplier had bothered to open the box to check before sending.In all of you want some Hd25 ish phones on the cheap you won't be disappointed as long as you're not expecting them to be exactly the same.Great for jobs where you don't want to risk getting your 'proper' phones damaged or lost.

I have had an affinity for good headphones and music since the age of 12, in that time I have collected a plethora of headphones, dac/amps, IEMs, and a few pairs of speakers. Some headphones I have been blown away by, others not so much. Just recently, I purchased the Superlux HD-562 headphones and I have quite a lot to say about them and why I think they are a hidden gem in the world of audio. Especially for the 30 dollars I paid. And the fact that these headphones are seemingly a clone of the well regarded Sennheiser HD 25-1 II. Now that I got my preface out of the way, l will now review the Superlux HD-562.Packaging & accessories: Packaging is fairly good for the price. Easy and simple to open, frustration free if you will ;). Inside the box was a carrying pouch, a pair of velour ear pads, and of course the headphones themselves. Packaging gets a 6.5/10 and the accessories also get a 6.5/10. The velour pads and carrying pouch are a nice touch for 30 dollar headphones.Build quality and comfort: Build quality is just decently good, not nearly as rugged as the HD 25s build quality. Decent quality plastic, decently built ear cups, pre-installed leatherette ear cushions (uncomfortable as hell), and a detachable one sided cable which is a very nice touch for $30. The split headband feature works pretty well to evenly distribute the weight of the headphones on your head for added comfort. The headphone is lightweight as is, so the split headband is a nice little bonus for added comfort. But that's where the buck stops as far as the praise for the comfort is concerned. There is a high clamp force with the HD-562s, very reminiscent of the older HD 25s. The leatherette cushions don't do any favors in alleviating the high and sometimes painful clamp force of the 562s. I strongly recommend installing the velour ear cushions to at least alleviate some discomfort. The velour ear cushions are a much better choice than the leatherette cushions. But there is still some ear pain after a 3 hour listening session for me. Overall build quality gets a 6/10. The detachable cable and okay quality plastic is enough to set the 562s build quality a little above the rest of the 30 dollar pack. Comfort gets a 5.2/10. Not horribly uncomfortable, but the high clamping force does hinder the comfort of the 562s.Sound quality will be broken down into 4 parts down below.Treble: The treble on the HD 562 is a bit dark and subdued. Easy to listen to and doesn't cause listening fatigue. The treble is also nicely detailed for the price. Refinement is above average for the price. 7/10 for the treble. Dark and easy going but detailed.Mid range: Mid range is a bit colored but good. Vocals come through nicely with a forward presentation. Detail retrieval is above average. Instruments sound good on the HD 562s but not as good as the vocals sound. The vocal presentation is where the 562 shines. Colored but pleasant sounding. 7.5/10 for the mid range.Bass: The bass is deep and punchy. The mid bass is forward and the sub bass, while forward, does take a backseat. The bass is well extended but can at times mask the mid range just a bit, and can get a little boomy. Still works well for bass-y genres such as Hip Hop, dubstep, electronic etc. Bass gets a 7/10. Less mid bass emphasis would have been appreciated.Sound stage: Sound stage is congested. There is very little width and very little depth. Imaging is still pretty good. The details accurately pan to the left and right. 6.5/10. The imaging and accurate panning of the details saved the score from dropping to a 4/10. Yes. the sound stage is that congested. Almost as bad as the Audio Technica ATH-M50s sound stage.Overall sound quality gets a 7/10. Very good sounding for just 30 dollars and competes well in the $30-100 price range. A hidden gem indeed.Quick comparison to the Sennheiser HD 25-1 II: The HD 25s build quality is far superior. Comfort is about the same, both headphones have a high clamping force and cheap leatherette cushions. Both are not suitable for long/comfortable listening sessions. Sound quality is comparable. The HD 25-1 II has a more detailed/refined sound quality, both have a congested sound stage, both are equally bass-y, equally good mid range, the Sennheiser wins out on vocal presentation however. Overall, the HD 562 holds its own against the HD 25. The HD 25 is undoubtedly better built and has a more refined sound in comparison. But the HD 562 does give you 80% of what the HD 25 gives you. Minus the build quality and overall refinement. Mind you the HD 562 goes for just $30-40 while the HD 25 goes for $230-250. For the price, you are getting a very good clone of the HD 25, if you can live with the average build quality and less refined sound.All in all, I recommend the HD 562 for those who can't afford the much more expensive Sennheiser HD 25-1 II. You are getting a lot of bang for your buck (mostly in terms of sound) with the Superlux HD 562.

These headphones are well worth the asking price. They are more suitable for monitoring headphones rather than critical listening. Keep in mind that it is easy to best these for $100 or more.Superlux did a good job of mimicking the Sennheiser HD25 look. They also made a huge effort to tune the drivers to the frequency response of the HD25. They manage to offer something that is almost as good as the HD25, but one-third of the price.Everything is clear. The headphones I have also used for monitoring are the Sony MDR-7506, Superlux HD681EVO, and the V-Moda XS. The Superlux has replaced all of these other cans for monitoring. The Superlux HD562 has become my monitoring can of choice. For listening though, the Sony and V-Moda do sound better. The HD562 has the right coloration and isolation for my purposes as monitoring. The Sony is a little to bright in the high end for what I'm monitoring and the V-Moda do not isolate enough.Keep in mind that this means the HD562 is colored. It accentuates the area of the spectrum of vocalists while keeping the bass clear and present. The high-end is not bright enough for critical listening. These cans lack the euphoric high end present in my critical listening sound signature of choice.I use these while monitoring live performances of vocal performances and use it to balance my FOH mix. Where I sit in the house, the house speakers attenuate the mids and the highs, since I'm sitting behind where the house speakers are pointing. If the mix sounds good in the HD562, the FOH sounds good. With other cans, I've found that the a good mix in the ears might mean the vocals are too attenuated in the house speakers. The large clamping force also serves to isolate the mids and the highs of the loud speakers from leaking into my ears. This is something the V-Modas were not able to do. When using the V-Modas, I've had to put another set of cans on top to clamp even more. It works good that way, but also makes it difficult to remove them if someone should want to talk to me - plus with two sets of cans, it makes me look like I have satellite dishes on my head.These would be a great recommendation for someone who needs to monitor with loud house speakers/subwoofers blasting in the background - and for someone who wants to do it for well under $100. For $100 or more, used HD25 originals start to enter the picture - and I'd take the original over the knock-off any day.Edit: I just happen to pick up the Sennheiser Amperiors for a blow out price. This Sennhesier model is the imspiration for the Superlux model. Most of the parts are interchangeable between the two. However, the Amperiors are clearly superior in terms of sound. The Superlux, by comparison is dull and lifeless, with no sparkle. Superlux did a good job of mimicking the low-end and some of the midrange - but the Superlux seems to most of the cymbals (crash, hi-hat and ride), burying in them in the mix - while the Amperiors have these sounds where they are supposed to be. It is as if Superlux copied the Amperior signature up to 4kHz, and then just forgot to do anything higher in frequency. The rest of the signature sounds like a cassette copy of a copy of a copy. It resembles the original, but it is missing some of the life. When the Amperior's were $300, it was hard to justify - since 6 pairs of the Superlux could be had for that price. But now, Sennheiser is blowing out the Amperior for under $100. Usually with 2x the price, one does not get 2x better sound. In this case, the Amperiors are 2x the sound and build quality of the Superlux -and the Amperiors are both great monitoring as well as listening cans. The Superlux is only good (for me) as monitoring cans - and actually right now, the HD562 serves no purpose for me anymore.For $40, the Superlux are still a good buy if someone needs good isolation as well as cans that accentuate the midrange, while keeping the bass present - but also anneunating cymbals and lacking the airy sparkly of hi-fi cans. But spend a little over 2x, and get something that sounds greater than 2x better.I do not use these at all for just listening to music.
