Superlux Velour Ear Pads - They Also Fit The Superlux HD-668B Headphones!
I have the Superlux HD-668Bs headphones, not the HD-681s, and I took a calculated risk that these pads would fit. I can confirm that they fit perfectly! The HD-668Bs use the same size cans with a slightly differently design if you look.
From what I can tell and from the feel, I think they have used memory foam to make the ear pads, but I'm not 100% sure. Whatever type of foam they have used it's very good quality and quite firm. It's not the cheap, soft, weak type of foam with no strength; it holds its shape against the clamping force of the headphones and is very supportive. The velour is good quality as well.
My headphones are now a lot more comfortable to wear and I can have them on for hours without discomfort. They don't sweat-up like the supplied leatherette ones because the pads can breathe and wicks any moisture away.
I just wish these pads would have come as standard on my Superlux HD-668B Headphones in the first place; they are miles better.
Well worth the money and highly recommended.

Must have addition to the HD-668 B
I've had a pair of Superlux HD-668 B headphones for almost a decade now (still going strong), but regrettably it took me many years to discover the wonder of these ear pads. My biggest gripe with the aforementioned headphones was always the comfort. The faux leather pads that they come with are less than stellar. These ear pads however, even if intended for the HD-681, fit perfectly on the 668-B and they are really quite good for your comfort. For this price it's hard to point out anything bad to say. I also tried some AKG velour pads for the AKG K-240/270/271 on these headphones which are much more expensive. The difference is negligible. The AKG pads are a little firmer towards the inner cup, so to speak, but I didn't find them any more comfortable than this Superlux variety. Excellent!

5 min to put on and enjoy once you did
Due to the Superlux way of putting the ear pads on, it's a bit difficult to put them, but considering you only have to do it once, it's definitely not an issue.
After spending 5 mins carefully stretching them onto the headphones, I immediately noticed they are much more comfortable compared to original firm leatherette ones.
With the stock ear pads my ears would start hurting after 3-4 hours, but with these Velour ones this doesn't happen for up to 5-6 hours (I didn't try to keep the headphones on longer than that).
So overall, I would definitely recommend this as an upgrade if you have any issues using the headphones for long periods.

Comfort and durability.
Used in standby mode.
It is very comforting to have such accessories available through headphone brands because it allows them to be replaced without the need to purchase new headphones.
The material in velvet, allows more comfort and durability, instead of those that come from the factory in synthetic leather that after a time begins to degrade even without use.
Good buy, good price, quick and simple replacement.

Bought for HD 668b
These are MUCH, MUCH better than the stock earpads on the 668b. They were a bit hard to put on but it's worth the effort. I don't sweat nearly as much as I do with the stock pads and the comfort is miles better. It also boosts the openness of the headphones since they're velvet. If you have a 668b, do yourself a favor and GET THESE, or the akg 240 velour pads if you got the buck.

They fit perfectly on the Superlux HD-681 B.
They are super comfortable and less warm than the original ones, won't burn your ears if you play for long sessions.
Since the headphones itself cost me 20¤ only, this is a nice essential to have in my opinion!

Actually amazing.
These pads, I really like, they are meant to touch your ears though so beware, however they are comfortable, you can fit them to many headsets like I fit them on my razer kraken and they improve the sound imo by making it more spacious.

Great replacement pads
I use them on a HD-681 as intended for, and they are great, loads better than the pads they come with. They come in package with Superlux brand on it, where I expected they'd just be generic pads of the right size. For more money I'm sure there's better pads but they are good and exactly the right size. I recommend to double the foam with the original foam from the headphones, it makes them sound slightly nicer to my ears.

Much better than default pads
These pads feel much better, especially when it's hot in the room.

Good compared to the stock ear pads
I bought these for my HD-668b. They do work perfectly even though they say they are for the 681 model.
Compared to the stock ear pads on the 688b, these are a noticeable improvement. In general they are fine, they are not too hard so that's good.
They are not made from memory foam but for the price I think it is a good purchase.
Would I invest in better ear pads next time? Definitely, yes. But once again, for the price these are fine.
