Fun bass-boosted headphones.
They are closed, but have almost negligible noise attenuation from outside noises (esp. compared to any of 3M ear muffs that I use).
Buying them for outside noise attenuation is probably a bad idea. Good for everything else at the price.

How to improve product lifespan
I am writing as an addendum to another reviewer's comments on the cheap build quality of the cable/plug. I agree that these headphones are excellent except for this one issue. The cable on my previous pair failed at the connection to actual headphones/earpiece.
Possible solution: there is a product marketed in the UK under the brand name 'Sugru' that can be used to reinforce/support cables at points where strain causes failure. In the case of these headphones this would be the plug and connection at the ear piece. I have had excellent results using Sugru on this and other thin cables. Please be aware, however, that this is a modification that would void your guarantee. This is not an issue on cheap headphones that are designed to fail. It would prolong their lifespan and benefits the environment as it stops them ending up in landfill very quickly.

Great for recording guitar
I was looking for a pair of closed back headphones to help me with recording an amped guitar. Closed-back headphones, while giving a more 'natural' sound, tend to have some leakage, which is a trade-off for that clarity. So for recording with a microphone it's best to use closed-back headphones. I find these excellent at blocking out the sound of my amp; this helps me to really hear what's being recorded. As a result, I feel my guitar recordings have improved. However, these Superlux headphones are not particularly comfortable to wear for long periods. So I don't use them for mixing or listening to music; but for short bursts of tracking / recording, I think they're an excellent purchase for the price.

Very good for the price, but don't expect budget Sennies.
Overall a pretty good set of monitoring/tracking cans, but can become quite uncomfortable during prolonged use. I would recommend them for up to one hour continuous use, any longer than that and you'll want to fire them at a wall. You should take regular breaks anyway.
I've had them for 3 years and they have not let me down, the price/quality ratio is favourable.

Great entry level headphones
I received these at part of a bundle with a digital studio set up expecting them to be average in performance. I now use them quite a lot even though i have far more expensive phones. They are actually quite good and certainly suit me for recording.
Great value for little money and certainly worth consideration instead of spending huge amounts of money thinking more cash means better quality.

A great headphone for beginners
Cover frequency range from 10hz to 30,000hz, one foot step in the world of professionals. But a little bit too tied for my head, my ears get pain after hours of use.

For the price
For the price, amazing to hear how far we've come... Maybe there's others around this price but I haven't worn them. They aren't expensive headphones, but they are what they are, which is good. I plugged them into my guitar amp after bedtime last night and woke nobody.

very good for the price
really good and honest sound for the price.
comfortable and seem durable for a sensible use.
I surprised very good friends - "selling" them as high end headphones;,when they tried them, they wouldn't believe when I revealed the real price point!
