Here is a pretty accurate review I found of the HD562: https://diyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/headphones/measurements/brand-superlux/

Mazinkaiser"The HD562 can be described as warm and a bit congested and not very dynamic sounding headphone with a polite amount of treble as well as lacking details and finer nuances."
half the reviews on this site are "omg it sounds amazing". It doesn't sound "amazing". It doesn't sound "great". Its VERY clampy (I actually like that), its clearly made from very cheap materials, and sound wise, any generic 30$ monitor from walmart or best buy is going to compete with this. Sorry you cant see this.

is actually how I would describe the sound. They do not sound great, but adequate for my application, which is DJIng and monitoring. For these applications I am looking at certain frequecies in particular the mids and bass and then the isolation.
Materialwise, I think that they are surprisingly good. To be honest the HD25 feels cheap, maybe not as cheap as the HD562 and the HD25 is overpriced at the US price of $249. Ridiculous. It is not even hi end like my HD800s. The HD25 sounds good, but it is still congested too.
You are mistaken in your flawed onions. We all need these things for different reasons. Just because it did not fit what you were looking for does not make them trash or bad. or cheapo headphones. The HD562 is in fact a great headphone IMHO.

MazinkaiserThese are cheap headphones, however I wouldn't recommend them to any casual user or audiophile unless they knew they wanted them. I personally find them uncomfortable, and compared to other headphones I've worn, even cheaper 20 dollar headphones, I find these to be very snug and not have a lot of volume. I have a very small sized head, smaller than average, yet they are still very tight around my head.
Pair that with the cheap plastic material and they feel cheap. They are under 40 dollars, I'd call that cheap.
Are they terrible? No. Could you do better? Probably if you go with IEMs. Honestly they sound about as good as Skullcandy in the same price range, but I find that those Target/Wallmart consumer headphones are more comfortable than these.
I'm glad you like the headphones though and that they fit you well. Unfortunately they aren't for me.

Cancerthey are not for you. Even the HD25 are not for everyone. People complain that the HD25 is all plastic. People also complain that the HD25 feels cheap. Yet I have had "durable" headphones with premium materials like magnesium such as the HDJ-2000 crack within the first 3 months of use while my HD562 have taken quite a bit of road abuse and they are just as good as new, just like my HD25. It has been more durable than my AKG K267 (a $130+ headphone), which is totally unreliable as a dj headphone. This headphone is even more durable than the AKG K181. I can go on and on. There are so many headphones on the market that appear durable, but break. This one hasn't. What it seems is not always what is. It does take quite a bit to power these headphones. I have no problems out of my mixer, but even out of my Samsung phone, they are loud enough to cause hearing damage. And you don't buy a headphone like this one to listen to "audiophile" material. It is your fault for misapplying this headphone. Comfort is always a mixed bag with these types of headphones. Some like me like it , some hate it. I do think that these headphones are worth more than $40. I would price them at the $80 mark.

Jajaly25, you are the voice of shameless ignorance and nonsense. If accurate sound were needed for djing, then nobody should be djing with beat mixrs, stanton, numark, gemini, apple earbuds, or sony headphones, but djs like Tiesto who have used anything for djing would disagree with you. The purpose of a DJ headphone is to allow the dj to cue tracks and beatmix. Popular headphones such as the MDRV700 were far from flat or accurate and were tuned with a midbass heavy sound, which worked great in the booth. I find the sound of the hd562 to be great for djing. Some people complain that the HD25 are not comfortable. Try a HD25 and a HD562 before you comment. Nevertheless we djs do not care about headphones being comfortable. It is those that want to use them as normal headphones that do complain of both the HD25 and HD562. Has anyone misrepresented and stated that the HD562 are comfortable? Having said that, the HD25 and HD562 are far more comfortable than Beats Mixrs and Sol Republic HD tracks and few other widely used headphones not worth mentioning. Sure, mixrs and sol republic headphones suck, but some djs use them. You obviously don't know what you are talking about and do not understand what you read. You are the typical consumer who thinks that you get what you pay for. When it comes to headphones, it is all not too clear. Shame on you for your useless comment. Go away troll.
