Superlux HD-662 F 4-stars Reviews

Makes fun

The Superlux HD-662 F came in Bundle with my HP12E and I was very surprised about its sound.

I use it, during recording, for musicians, for producing I have my beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro.

Comparing to my DT 880 Pro:

It has more bass and the sound is not that differentiate. With the DT 880 my piano sounds much higher detaild but to be fair, it costs much more money.

For listening to music, using it for musicians during recording or jamming it is pretty good. If one of mine will ever stop working, I would by it again. Its small price, good sound and haptic makes it a nice headphone.

Good headphones

A copy of well known pro headphones, the SuperluxHD-662 F work very well for tracking in the studio. They provide good isolation without being uncomfortable. The main problem is the metal rods that connect each side - this rings with a very noticeable and intrusive note... But a bit of masking tape to damp this vibration and I'm very happy with these headphones.

Excellent headphones for recording and gaming.

I can certainly recommend these for this price. The sound quality is absolutely fantastic - the bass is fast and accurate but still deep. Mid range gives a nice flavor, and certainly is not scooped in the way that most cheap headphones perform. High's are a little harsh at first, but with time they get softer and you can certainly enjoy your music with these after some burn-in time.

Thse aren't the most accurate headphones I've heard, although the freq. response is quite flat and sterile, you should not try to do any mixing with these, because when I listen to music with my Behringer monitors, they reveal much more information inside the track.

The downside is that these are not comfortable in any way. At first, these are extremely tight and they feel like they try to smash your head into little pieces, so you have to shape them for many hours - thankfully they are very durable and you can also switch some Beyerdynamic or AKG earpads to these I think (I haven't done that).

Best uses for these are certainly recording vocals - because the isolation is superb. Almost no sound penetrates these when you have them on, and almost no sound leaks from these either.

So as a summary: If you use optics you might want to reconsider some more comfortable options, but if you want cheap, effective and accurate monitoring headphones - go for these.

Much better than you'd expect

Soundwise, they're just as flat as you'd hope for studio headphones. They sound neutral, albeit a bit distant, I'd say. Obviously they're not thatsuited to actually listening to music "for fun", though. But for the price, they're a pair of bloody excellent studio 'phones, no matter if you're an amateur or a semi-professional.

The only issue I've had with them was that they're not that comfy. My earlobes are quite sensitive and the headphones cause my ears to sweat a lot, which has somehow begun to practically tear the skin apart from the back of my earlobes. (I should probably go see a skin doctor shouldn't I?)

I've never before had any problems with other headphones — it must just be the material that I'm reacting to. I hear there are replacement pads, though, so that might solve it.

They're obviously cheap, and the build quality gives it away but I've been using them on and off for a year or so now and they still look new to me. Totally worth the price if your earlobes aren't such wussies as mine are.

Home recording - decent headphones

I dabble a little with home recording, and needed a decent set of phones to monitor, after reading the reviews I picked the Superlux HD 662f. They arrived within 2 days and my 1st impression was that they were a little too plastic and light - but after a few days and a few long sessions they are pretty good. Very comfortable, even for a few hours art a time, they cover all the ear and block out all extraneous noise. The sound reproduction is pretty good at any price, but very good at this price. I havent tried them with hifi or ipods, but for monitoring my guitar recording they do a good job.

I'm sure that there are better qua;ity phones- but they probably cost 2/3 or 4 times the cost.

Great low cost headphones for tracking

I first bought one pair of these headphones to try out after reading alot of good things on the web about them and then another 5 pairs to use for tracking at our band studio

They are very similar in construction with regards especially to the headband compared to my old trusted AKG K270 Studio that i really love and use for mixing and also overall music listening at home.

The Superlux HD-662 F´s (F=Flat response) holds much tighter around your head though while the AKG´s instead are very loose, not to the point that i think its a problem with the 662´s, but with the AKG´s you can forget that you even have them on.. i do sometimes at least.

Personally i wouldnt mix on these, but on the other hand since ive used my trusted AKG´s for a decade or so i would probably be more or less uncomfortable using pretty much anything else.

Im very satisfied with these and recommend them if you are looking for low cost closed back headphones for tracking, if you want an open back version there is the Superlux HD-681 F which i havent tried myself.

Decent quality for a decent price

I have to say I was quite impressed with these headphones, I was sure for the price that they'd feel quite flimsy and cheap, but they don't at all. They're as comfortable as you're going to find for closed back headphones. I'm no audiophile or professional but I can't fault the spound on these either, its bassy enough thayt it doesn't sound thin or flat but the bass doesn't drown out any of the details in the sound either. The cable is nice and long so that shouldn't be an issue and they do come with their own little carrier bag but if you're like me, that'll never get used. Would absolutely recommend these to anyone

Great value

For the money these headphones are ideal for padding out the live room of a studio. Main thing is that leak is practically zero at a sensible volume, sit comfortably for longer sessions but you get what you pay for so don't expect soft leather. However they do a good job in the studio and good for tight budgets or just looking to add to the collection for that occasional large session.
