HD-661 White : Fantastic cans for the money

10 years ago

I own several pairs of Superlux headphones and I rate these best for studio work as they seem to have a flatter response than the others, the HD681 being the other pair I use but they have a heavier bass response IMO (great headphones though).

Really comfortable (I have a small head so sometimes struggle getting headphones to fit), although this is no adjustment as they use 2pads on the headband to self adjust to the wearer.

Impressive response and a good fast sound for headphones, not muddy in any way. If you want more bottom/bass then I would suggest other model mentioned above, but then that's moving into hifi territory IMO.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that they are supplied with 2 cable lengths making it great if you were using them with a mobile device of wireless as often a long cable in those situations could be troublesome.

The headphones have a very short piece of cable with a stereo 3.5mm jack on it to connect the 2 cable lengths and if you want to you could combine the 2 for an extra long cable. Supplied with a 3.5mm to 6.35mm (1/4") adapter and a bag.

Pros: everything!

Cons: perhaps a little flat for hifi use
