HD-669 : Amazing for the money and even better after some modding!

About 3.5 years ago I was looking for some new headphones that shouldn't be too expensive since at the time I was still a student. I got a lot of recommendation for Superlux headphones for their amazing sound especially for their price. So I ordered these. I really liked them but the earcups where really stiff and uncomfortable. So I bought some replacement memory foam + cooling gel earcups on amazon and after that they were the best "gaming headphones" I ever had for those years. I am also just now coming back and write this review because I wanted to see how long they lasted since I ordered them and after near daily use on my PC (with a number of rough encounters of me forgetting to remove them before standing up) they "finally" started to show and make it audible that there is significant wear and tear at the connection piece for the adapter of the the removable cable. So if your hope for the removable cable was that you will avoid cable wear and tear then I sadly need to disappoint you since for that the headphones would need a female aux connection and not a male one that dangles on a irreplaceable very small cable. BUT if you want that for better cable management it is still very useful! All in all I liked them a lot and do recommend them especially for gamers on a budget IF they want closed over ear headphones and are willing to replace the earcups for more comfort!
