Superlux HD-668 B 4-stars Reviews

I bought these headphones for mainly the purpose of gaming, but I ended listening music with them as well.

For phones which cost 30? - the sound is astonishing.

The frequency and bass ranges don't focus on either one (which seem to be a case sometimes) - so the sound is quite natural and pleasing.

And with this price I'm not worried of using these outside my apartment, thing that limits the usage of phones sometimes.

The biggest ''con'' of these, especially in my case. was the comfort:

After longer period of time the wearing the cups start to hurt and the pads along the rails aren't helping much.

One of my friend stated that he has been ''quite settled'' to the discomfort of these headphones, but I myself can't wear these for a longer time.

But of course one can always change the earpads or do other patents e.g. with toilet paper to improve the comfort of these headphones.

Great sound for great price

I bought these in 2011, after trying out the ones that my friend bought.

The sound quality is good. It's neutral, with only a slight overemphasis on the high freq. range. It gets better with a decent headphone amp, these headphones are not on their best with basic laptop sound cards (still better than any phones from this price range I have tried out). Bass response is very accurate. Overall, the sound is very clear, instruments can be distinguished from a mix. I use these with a pair of studio monitor speakers to mix recordings at home and I'm very happy.

The comfort is good enough, nothing to complain, but these don't really feel premium. Never tried out longer than three hours, during that period I felt no squeeze.

The quality is not that great. Cheap plastic is all over these headphones, fake leather, ugly seams etc. They came with two cables, both broke up after a year of usage. But with replaceable cables it's not a big deal. If handled with care, these headphones will serve you for a long time.

PS. I also use these while gaming :-)

Good Headphones for low price

I own the Superlux HD-668 B headphones for about one month, and i am really pleased of the whole package that you can buy for that low price.

Sound:

the sound is clear and quite naturally, but bit sharp in high "klick"- and "sshh"-tones. I use the headphones for my bass-amp with backing tracks through the AUX-In, and it works really good. The Superlux got enough deep tones and i can hear every mistake in playing my bass.

Comfort:

The Headphones fit quite good on my ears without pressing too much. Also the two foam blocks at the top don't decrease the comfort while playing or listening, they make some kind of "light" feeling on my head (without sweating or anything else).

Quality:

Everything is crafted well, the headphones seem to be solid and long-living. Even the 1m and 3m-long AUX-cables are high quality.

So all in all, the Superlux HD-668 headphones are definitely enough for my field of application. Only the harsh "shh"-sounds at listening to some bad-quality soundfiles can be disturbing, but you get some really good headphones for a low price.

Decent low-price headphones for beginners

I've bought these headphones over a year ago so I could silently play keyboards and work on a few sounds on my synthesizer. Back then, I wasn't much of an audiophile and my ears weren't really used to high quality music.

But I guess that's something that most people who consider buying these headphones have in common. If you were really looking for high-end professional equipment, you would spent more than ~30€ for it.

That doesn't mean they're bad headphones, though. I've compared them with the really good Beyerdynamics DT 770 and I didn't really hear a difference. Considering the DT770 costs about five times as much as the HD-668, that's pretty incredible.

Although they sound good, they don't seem to be very sturdy. The plastic parts and the cushion feel rather cheap and I'm not sure if they would survive falling on the ground a few times.

Also note that these are semi-opened head phones. Even at rather small volumes, they are audible for other people or microphones, so I wouldn't recommend using them in public or while you're recording something.

Great phones for small records

This headphones are a great choice to people who has small studios or wants to do some records, and don't want to pay a lot. In generally this hp has a very good sound for its value, it is really comfortable, so you can use it for a long time without the head hurts. Anyway the quality of this phones aren't very good, the materials used to build this are really cheap.

This phones has another problem too, if you want to listen with it using your phone, you probably won't get a great expirience, because of its loudness. They are great for using with headphones amplificator or to connect to hi-fi sistems.

Value for Money

I needed additional headphone in my project studio and didnt want to spend a fortune on extra headphones for tracking. I decided to give these a go and was pleasantly surprised, really good quality and highly recommended!
