Superlux HD-668 B 5-stars Reviews

Amazing

(everything I'm gonna write is gonna be directly linked to the low price of the item)

What a godlike pair of headphones. Fantastic sound, GREAT durability, modular cable, the only slightly negative thing is that my ears hurt when I wear them for a long time; mainly the top part of the ear.

Just buy them.

Best Sound For the Price

These headphones are a great entry product for anyone that wants to listen to good quality sounds. not the most comfortable headphones after extended sessions.

One of the best VFM headphones!

I purchased these for my brother 5 years ago, and he still uses them to this day!

I briefly gave him a set of Austrian-made Q701, and also a K7XX, but he still stuck stuck with the Superlux!

Perfect studio quality headphones.

Those headphones deliver great quality and are really comfortable. As well durable through falls. The cable quality is outstanding.. 1 and half year almost using those and still not even a flaw. The package comes with a cool case for the headphones as well as mini AUX audio cable and a 3m. cable .

Cool package for pimping up your studio experience! :-) (Y)

Great inexpensive headphones for home studio.

Very detailed and analytical sound. Prominent treble, these headphones are a bit on the bright side. Gradual low end rolloff gives it a flat (in a good way) and deep bass.

Useful for "microscope" applications during tracking/editing/early mixing. Not so great for overall balance evaluation during late mixing/mastering. Not so great for listening to music.

The high end can get a bit harsh sometimes.

Overall, great value for the price and definitely usable for certain applications.

These are some well balanced and good sounding headphones that have a nice depth. They are semi-open which means that sound is not that well isolated but I kind of prefer semi-open over full closed ones.

I mainly use them for listening music and a bit of recording, mixing. They have a good bass while remaining clear on the higher end which means details don't get lost somewhere in the middle. Of course they might not be the headphones you are getting in terms of a professional use but for starting out they give you a really nice idea about good sounding headphones.

They come with detachable 1m and 3m cables with 3.5mm stereo jack and 6.3 mm jack adapter which means they can be plugged in and used in almost every situation out of the box.

They are pretty lightweight and don't get that uncomfortable after few hours but I would change the stiff ear pads for velour pads for even better comfort for ears and probably better sound. I would say they are not the best in terms of build quality but for that price it is hard to really expect anything more.

Overall. For those who want their first balanced headphones for recording, mixing and just general listening, these are probably a good way to start. Especially at this price point.

These work!

If you're looking for some clean, flat headphones to do some referencing while mixing and you don't wanna spend 80¤ or more, I think these are a great purchase. Not a huge investment, but not cheap enough that you'll doubt their build. Great frequency response across the board with surprisingly clear lows and not too harsh highs. I've been using these for mixing and to listen to music for over a year now, and I love them!

Having payed 30¤, these are just perfect

I bought these headphones mostly for guitar practice and home hearing. I must say I am very pleased. They are comfortable , sound quality is very good, in my opinion. These are quite flat, none of the extreme bass some of the more fashion headphones sometimes show. Would buy again.

Crazy value.

Currently costs only 29 euros, that's even less than the amazon price. And I'm telling you, for 29 euros you can not get a better headphone, NEVER.

Pros:

-Lightweight.

-Neutral lows and mids (slightly strong highs).

-The goddamn price man!

Cons:

-Build quality feels a bit cheap but I wouldn't expect more for the price.

-A bit of clamping force

-Cheap pleather earpads

I easily recommend getting the HD 681 velour pads alongside the purchase of this product (earpads cost only 8~euros)

Overall satisfied with my purchase.

Great value open headphones

The main thing about these headphones is that they offer amazing value for the price. It is possible to buy headphones that sound more detailed or look better but for the price you are paying these are pretty much unbeatable.

These have a semi-open design so they have good positional tracking and offer an ?open? soundstage.

Being a semi-open kind of design these aren?t the best for blocking out sound so if you plan to use them in a noisy environment you should probably look for some closed back headphones.

As far as the sound quality goes I would say they are very good.

In the comfort department they aren?t bad out of the box but I would recommend buying velour earpads which make them more comfortable and turn them into an even more open set of headphones.

A must buy! ...but don't forget.

Great sound! Cheap! Great comfort, but...

Since the treble can be a bit to harsh sometimes. I would highly suggest changing to some velourpads instead, since the bass element gets a little bit to covered with the stock. This will also improve the comfort quite a bit!

For someone who has the trouble with breaking their cables often, getting stuck in things, this changeable design is really a winner on the market.

Have been using them for mixing for a while now. If I'd had a studio, this definately would be my "SM58 of headphones".

Great Value Transparent Headphones

Having lived with these headphones for some months now, using them both for recreational listening, and for some more detailed mixing work I feel able to give some considered feedback.

Firstly, lets get any possible negatives out of the way. Buyers need to know that these are open back, and with that comes a great deal of spill, both in and out of the headphones. Sitting on the bus and using them to listen to music is very much not recommended ... but that's not what these are for.

Secondly, the build quality - whilst they've held up perfectly well over the time I've had them, they do feel somewhat flimsy. I'm careful with my equipment, and I think any user who uses a throw them-into-the-bottom-of-a-bag policy will end up regretting it.

Lastly amongst possible negatives are the slightly odd lengths of lead that come with it. One is rather short, and the other rather long. I've taken to using the long one as an 'extender' as needed, but usually use the shorter one. This works for me, but could be an issue depending on sitting position, placement of headphone amp/port etc.

The positives are obvious though: A detailed, clean, transparent sound, with none of the inflated bass found with closed headphones. This might take some getting used to (for those accustomed to earbuds, or closed back headphones).

They are very 'light', meaning physically they are easy to wear for long periods without neck fatigue.

Despite my initial fears about their durability/strength, they still happily 'clamp' my head, and are nicely adjustable (including the pads at the top). Some users appear to 'mod' these headphones with sponge and gaffa tape to make a 'band' at the top, but I've not found that necessary or desirable.

The price is excellent. Even if just being used for occasional mix-checking, at this price they deserve a place in the studio!

For recreational listening (which I'd recommend, in order to get used to their sound), they have proved excellent. I've enjoyed many styles of music, and continue to be impressed by their detail and lack of colour.

Overall - thoroughly recommended for the price, as long as you know what you are buying.

Fantastic sound with a low price tag.

This headset is everything it is touted as on the internet. Great build quality, great sound and very, very affordable. It supports generic AKG type pads (like those on the K-240), so you can put those lovely velour pads on (sku. 208718) if you wish!

Clamping power is perfect for me. Very comfortable, does not cause me any fatigue, whatsoever.

Great find, great value.

Very satisfied with the sound, good bass. They fit well enough to keep a lot of outside sound out. Keep forgetting I'm wearing them, no discomfort at all.

Come with 2 cords, 1 long, 1 short. Easy to switch if one length wont do. Carrying bag too. Not pretty, but useful, nice touch.

Very happy with these, recommended for djing and listening.

Best headphones under 50 euros

I'm a PC gamer and I've used several headphones in the past. These are the best that I have ever used in this price range. Exceptional sound! The music that you already own will get so much better when you listen it through these headphones. The delivery was fast. I am extremely happy and satisfied with my purchase.

Did I just pay 30€?

When I saw online that this 30€ headphones would sound balanced, true to the sound and could compete with "all stars" headphones I was like: "some people are consuming too much caffeine. After a few years I decided to give it a try and the moment I've put them on my ears I was like: "Is this really happening or am I hallucinating?

Well this headphones were tested through a Focusrite Solo and from my Laptop's audio card. The sound was great on both of them, being the Focusrite sound slightly better. The bass was a little off in the beginning but after 30 hours of burn-in, the bass was punchy and accurate, the highs also became much more realistic and now they are not so annoying and keep getting better everyday. While I'm producing I can get the subtle differences in the mixing, some things that I can't get with more expensive headphones. This is not a headphone for big heads, my brother and father complain about the tightness, for me it is a perfect fit.

So if you think that cheap stuff is not good enough, think again. While this is not perfect, nor a war tank, it can last a long time if taken care of.

I would say that the sound is the best I've heard and I will change the ear-pads for some AKG ones to be comfortable.

High quality, low price

Bought these after reading an online review, seriously good headphones - you could easily pay two or three times as much for the same quality. Nicely balanced - work well for mixing and just general listening. Highly recommended.

Often used for sound design

Great headphones. extremely comfortable and can be worn all day.

I usually struggle using headphones down to them not being very comfortable to wear. I do sports sound design as Jetta Lazza and often need to use headphones when working in small spaces. I always pick these over my more expensive headphones as they sound true and are comfy to wear.

The short cable is the perfect length when working at a computer. So there is no excess cable getting caught under chair wheels. And if you need to move around there is an extended cable included.

I have been using these for 1 year now and they are still going strong.

amazing sound quality

Build quality could be better but it's good for its price. After falling down a few times, my headphone lost some plastic parts from the bow already but it is still working. Cable and earpads can easily be replaced.

What bothers me most about this headphone is the comfort. The earpads are too small to surround the ears so there is alawys pressure on them which can get annoying after short times already.

As for the sound i was really impressed. It sounds pretty clear and even over all frequencies except vor really low bass maybe. But then again i've never been satisfied with the bass of any headphone.

I never use the included bag because i only use it at home but even if i were to carry it with me i wouldn't use the bag. It's just enough to protect from dirt and scratches but offers no protection against mechanical influences.

Great sounding headphones

These are really decent headphones. They are perfect for a monitor while recording, because they effectively insulate sound from getting in or out (as effectively as you can hope, for the price).

They are pretty comfortable too- I am happy to wear them for hours on end, although you may have to adjust occasionally as they do get slightly annoying, especially just behind the ear. For this reason they became my go to headphones for casual listening! They are much better than the in-ear headphones I used to use.

They are very flexible, requireing little adjustment to fit on anyone's head.

The cables and converter plug it comes with (mini jack female to regular jack male) are extremely convenient, and work brilliantly, never coming loose.

Conclusion- whether you're mixing your album or listening to radiohead whike you do your maths homework, you can't go far wrong with these headphones- especially considering the price!
