Consumer review (head-fi.org)

A most Super Duper Sound

 

Available for right around $40, the Superlux HD668B is hands down my favorite entry level open back headphone. As some one who started out with a Beyerdynamic DT 990, my cost of entry to the world of audiophile headphones ran me right around $250. That...

Transparency,removable cable, speed, price

rolled off sub bass, quality control

The smoking revolver: Superlux 668b

 

Following the HD600s, I had simply obtained the Superlux 668b as a point of comparison and reference, as it is a well know and popular budget Headphone. My brother also uses a pair that he swears by (unless he is borrowing my SHP9500). The simple truth...

Detail and Clarity! Value for money.

Harsh! Can suffer from trying to resolve too hard.

A great upgrade from cheap earbuds for to-be audio enthusiasts

 

I have to start this review out by saying I'm no audiophile and not a native English speaker. But I do listen to a lot of music (just recently I had finished upgrading my collection to FLAC), and have experience with a few headphones and low-end...

Price, cable system, soundstage, vocals, lack of bass

Not comfortable for long listening sessions (gets better with velour pads), stock pads are horrible, treble can get tiring, lack of bass

Consumer review (head-fi.org)

Bang of the buck, what a performance at such low price!!!

 

Bought used at $30 (Pretty burnt in). Auditted for 1 day. Pads were changed to Hifiman Velour pads and A/B'ed with the original pads, and the cable was a cheap one from KableDirekt. And now, I can't help sharing my thoughts. They sound pretty good. My...

Enthusiastic sound (reference sound type + meaty bass)

Build quality is not good. Wiggling the flexible earcups generates noise. Slightly veiled mid.

Mistyped price. Must be that.

 

I got the Superlux HD668B as a gift from my brother. These were my first better than average headphones, and boy, they are good! The build quality is quite good. It is sturdy and flexible, with a removable cable. They come with a short cable and a...

Sound quality - Soundstage - Transparency - Overall neutrality - Clarity - Light weight

Somewhat piercing highs - Uncomfortable stock ear pads - Strong clamping force (gets better with time)

Perfect entry level cans for aspiring audiophiles

 

This review is based in my experience of almost 6 months with them, running 24/96 Flacs > Foobar2K > Wasapi > Asus Realtek ALC1150 + 4580 Op-amp > HD668B I decided to reboot my interest in audio gear and I was looking for affordable cans...

Detail, clarity, lightness (weight) Overall design: black, minimal understated, migh be a copy of AKG but if it works why fix it?

Materials feels cheap and build quality is average, feels flimsy but they can actually withstand some abuse. Sound signature might not be for everyone

Consumer review (head-fi.org)

A great bargain at this price. (Burn in is NOT optional, it's absolutely essential. Be patient, the highs recede slightly with burn in.)

 

I apologize if I duplicate the findings of others. I read the other reviews, and I'm trying to address the things I thought haven't been talked about yet. The current (it changes, it has too I guess) price (HD7 version) is 29.00 USD w/free shipping....

Excellent detail, good overall balance, extended HF response.

I didn't dislike the price I paid for the 668B, but they're now being imported into the US as Presonus HD7's. My box (from Taiwan) arrived crushed.

Great headphones

 

Brilliant performers. Very detailed, I can spot imperfections instantly now. Great value for money. Definitely the best headphones under €100. Never even look at my hd 598's anymore.

Price, Flat Response, Detailed

I can see the connector giving grief down the road.

First that all. Im gonna say to all who wanna buy these that these headphones need Burn In, You will notice too much highs the first time. And yes, that was my first impresion of these, Too much highs and sibilances, but after a week I started to...

Everything.

Comfort? WHO CARES!?
