Superlux HD-668 B 5-stars Reviews

Very good value for the price

Build quality and sound-wise I have absolutely no regrets picking these headphones up. If I had to be hard on something, the default pads are a bit hard on my eyeglasses, but that is hardly a big thing considering it doesn't generally lead to tiredness or pain - even during very long (eight hours plus) working sessions.

On the rare occasion there is pain after a very long session, it most often is actually due improper placement because of one reason or another.

All in all, would buy again; the price performance is quite awesome and the sound quality is pretty much as much as you could get for this price range - what's left is the style of the sound and that is "what you happen to like" territory.

Amazing sound quality for an amaing price

If you search a professional studio headphone and you don't want to pay very much, this one is the one of your choice.

The Superlux HD-668 B has got an amazing good sound quality. The basses are clear, the highs are good to hear and the mids sound like mids should sound. The sound is also very spatial.

The packet includes two different length cables. This includes the fact, that the cable is replaceable and i never had problems with accidentally releasing cables.

The only thing i have to compare about are the two self-adjusting headband pads. For me they are a bit too strong and if you have long hair, they like to get caught into your hairs.

But all in all i would recommend this product.Alone on the great sound quality.

Amazing Headphones

These headphones come with a pouch and two cables, 1m and 3m. I do not have any other headphones to compare with, but in my opinion these are really good. They are very robust, I often dropped them on the floor, but nothing happened. The sound is very balanced but not too neutral. Great for mixing, monitoring or symply just listening music.

The only weak point is the comfort. But in combination with the AKG K240 velour pads ( they fit perfectly) the Superlux HD-668 B are very comfortable to wear.

Very robust, well sounding headphones with a very good value for money.

Can't beat the price for these high quality headphones

For the price range, I haven't seen any other heaphones that sound and feel this good. Very happy with them overall!

Superb headphones for next to nothing!

I bought these headphones couple of years ago after hearing many good reviews about them and when I was told they are extremely good for the price you pay. But I was amazed at how good these really are. The sound quality is excellent, the pads don't weigh on your head so you can use them for hours to the end, bass is not too heavy but you can really feel it. The cord is removable and usually comes off when I try to leave my computer with these on my head so that's another plus for me. If you're looking for extremely good headphones for a really cheap price, I don't think there are any that compare to Superlux HD-668 B. I love the synergy the Superlux show on a crossfeed. It "warms" up the sound just to the right amount, giving a slight boost in the bass and further refining the headphones convincing soundstage. I prefer that combo to most much more expensive headphones I know. I think the HD668B are killers for their price and Superlux is a great company which makes affordable products with great sound quality. Now enthusiasts and professionals who couldn't afford to buy 5 pairs of AKG's for their studio can do that with Superlux without compromising the sound. If I wanted better audio quality I should prepare to spend 10x the money these cost!

As good as they say

You know the story of these, read the reviews,all true, these are Excellent headphones, Bright, clear, full and nuanced sound. a little light but that's not necessarily a bad thing, i can use these in bed or in the practice space or watch a movie with these on and nearly forget i have them on! As good as any Headphone ive ever listened to. including bowers & wilkins, AKG and bose

Exceptional Value

I bought these headphones to use in my recording setup for monitoring purposes. I have AKG K77 and AKG K240 Studio headphones as well, by way of comparison. This pair of Superlux headphones have quickly become my favourites.

The AKG K77 are also low cost headphones, and lack comfort. The sound they produce quickly becomes tiring due to its harshness. This can be a reality in headphones designed for monitoring, because of the need for accurate reproduction, however, in the case of the K77s, the harshness is so acute that it means I cannot use them for extended periods.

The AKG K240 are supposed to be a top monitoring headphone. They do have a classy appearance, but in every practical and sonic way, the Superlux are better. They are both accurate and non-tiring in lengthy sessions. They are light to wear and extremely comfortable - more secure than the AKG K240. The Superlux are also supplied with 2 lengths of cable, so you can choose the most appropriate, whether you are tracking or sitting in front of a computer plugged into your audio interface whilst mixing. It sould be said that the. Superlux do not look "expensive". That may be true, but in a pair of monitoring headphones, I prefer that money is spent on great speaker drivers, light construction for comfort,and solid performance. Superlux delivers all this with the HD668B.

For most home based musicians on a budget, these are an exceptional value product and I recommend them without reservation.

FANTASTIC PHONES!

I've had theese for almost a year now, I think, and they just keep sounding better and better the more they get used.

I didn't expect alot from the price of theese things, but was I wrong. They sound great, greater than most cans double or triple the price of theese. The cables that are provided are great aswell, the 1m is suited for regular laptop-use and the 3m for more freedom when working in the studio.. Still not enough? combine the cables to get a 4m one! Easy as ever!

Now, one thing i did pretty early on after getting theese was to switch out the ear pads for velour ones from AKG, because i found that the material of the ones that were on made you sweat really easily.. As a bonus from that, i got a much better sound picture as well, it's more full and direct with the AKG pads, so but a pair of those if you're serious about music production!

Can take a real beating and still sound good

I've had these headphones for ~1 year or so and they've been dropped, tossed, tangled, sat on, coffeed etc. etc. And still no complaints! Amazing. I actually bought them just because of the nifty cable connection at the speaker element because my cables always go bad near the connector and I thought I could just switch it out when it goes bad. I haven't had the need to yet. Super rigid and I love it.

The sound is, well, good I guess but it's hard to give a proper evaluation for me because if you compare to some of the most expensive, upper end, headphones then they might not be as good but I think they give an authentic representation of what was recorded (taking all the other sound-factors like microphones and such into the equation of course). I would like to try them with a headphone amplifier to see how they sound at higher levels than what my rig can produce.

They sit comfortably during long sessions and self-adjust to the head so you don't have to fiddle with any annoying length adjusters and such. I don't know if this might come as a disadvantage for extra-ordinarily large headed gals and girls.

Conclusively, they are a lot of headphone for the money and their extremely nice build is by itself worth every cent.

Superlux HD-668 B - Used for home Mastering

Excellent for the price. They do the job I wanted them for - home mastering. The one thing to watch out for is that the two wire bands across the top of your head can be free to vibrate depending on how you are wearing the headphones. And the wire bands on my pair resonate about 10 cents flat of the note F5 right in the mid range. The resonance is so strong and consistant that if I tap the wire band I can measure the noter created it with a clip on guitar tuner!!! The just need a little bit of tape to kill the vibration to save any mistakes when mastering! I don't want to be dialing out a booming frequency that's simply caused by the headphone cradle ringing!

Worth the buzz

I never knew I could get headphones this good for soooo cheap. The sound is really good and perfectly adequate for my listening (home and outside) and also mixing of my own recordings, which are released commercially. I'd say that for this sound quality I would've expected a price three times as high.

I've heard one or two people say that these aren't just as comfortable as they could be, but I've found them really good. And the ear pads can be changed, so that solves the problem.

The quality of the "structure" itself is cheaper than the sonar quality. The sewing of the ear pads has long ago bursted open. Then again, I do treat these these pretty brutally and have even worn them in -35 celius, so apart from that they've been really really sturdy. And the jack has stayed in prime condition too.

Brilliant headphones

B stands for balanced and the sound is: smooth bass end, clear uncongested mids and a subtle shiny treble response. Great build quality and have seen these popping up in pro studios. Highly recommended for mixing and mastering.
