AUDIOPHILE QUALITY FOR $50! : Superlux HD668B Headphones 

Something tells me this guy likes Batman. I can't quite figure it out though...

I’m an “audiophile” and I have these in my collection. They sound fantastic out of the box. The ear pads are hard but that doesn’t bother me. Some people find the treble overly bright but most people like them. I use them for DJ style mixing and general listening. I also have headphones of all prices (only going up to £500 so nothing high end) and these are a worthy pair in my collection. Buy them they are a steal.👍

ive had these for a longggg time now. they sound so good

just ordered 668b and velour earpads, my first openback headphone.

Great vid, man! This was super helpful!

thanks man, I just love it when they make better products less expensive :)

Got these, had them for a while, then the cable broke inside the earcup, thankfully, very easy to do maintenance on, fixing was not an issue. I then at some point got a dac with a option for balanced output. I went and added a 4 pole audio jack, so each ear driver gets separately driven. Then this thing really became super alive... (also probably because the dac/amp can output more power in balanced mode)... I really recommend if you have the option for balanced out put to make them balanced... they really are amazing sounding.

Recently got these on sale for $39 and I can't wait for them to arrive

I've been using this headphone since 2010 and still working perfectly

Man, this channel is gold, I don't know how the fuck don't you have more subs ...

3 years and still going good

I bought these as my first "audiophile" headphone about 5 years ago because I was a broke college student, but wanted good audio. since then I've bought bought a pair of audiotechnica ATH-AD700x and a Sennheiser HD600. For my head, the superlux are not comfortable - the little wing pads for the headband were very fatiguing after only an hour. That being said, with some new earpads, the superlux really do give more expensive headphones a run for their money. its honestly unreal how good they sound.

I just bought this and Im suuper satisfied! The bass isnt what like most people say it lacks. I think the level is just right, and holy smokes the treble is nice and this thing sounds AMAZING on rnb trap /neo soul/ any modern song. It's also really comfy to wear. The pad is also good, since Im used to these type :) The detatchable cable also came with a lock, so that you wont have to worry about it detatching while doing your thing Ill see if I find any downsides along the road.

This is genuinely the first time that I hear someone mention the paper tissue trick on youtube. It honestly works and it's how I "fixed" a set of headphones that liked too much treble a few years ago, except that I discovered it by accident cause my ears kept getting sweaty in the summer and didn't want to stain the material so I used a tissue, and it really improved the quality of the audio and have been doing this trick ever since. 😀

They are truly great sounding only after calibrating with Sonarworks software - night and day difference. Superlux actually produces headphones for the more known brands. Velour pads are definately tecommended with the 668’s.

I have the Superlux HD681 for 5 years now and had to replace coz the connection starts to fail. I decided to go for HD668B just for a change. They sound very different if you ask me. Hd681 in my opinion have bigger soundstage and is brighter and has more clarity. But it can sound 'piercing' after a few hours listening. It is slightly more comfortable than the HD668B..i can feel the flap thingy on HD668B pressing on my head and bit unpleasant after 1 or 2 hours wearing them. Hd668B has a slightly more warmth to its sound. I still like them both (i still have another pair of HD681). These headphones are cheap.

Hey, have you tested the Samsón SR950 ? If you have, do you think the HD688 are better or the Samon’s ?

This is the best review in english for the Superlux 668B Headphones! . I wish you had another review for the 669 model too. I am not sure which of the models to buy. I like that 669 are closed and they isolate the exterior noise but in the same time i heard that an semi open design like 668B gives you a better surround feeling. Is that so?

do you recommend the superlux hd660 for studio use and for monitoring and mixing audio?

How good/bad the low end is? Im using a KZ Zs3 IEMS earphones. Will the low end on that 668b be better than my current driver?

Would you recommend the Cosmos velvet earpads over the HIFIMAN velour earpads?

Did this man really pronounce "impedance" as "impendance"

im looking for some new headphones for gaming and i dont know if i should get a headset or headphones with mod mic. for a headset i found the sennheiser game ones but i dont know what headphones to get and i dont want to buy a amp. any suggestions other then these only want to spend the same price as the game ones?

any advice on which case to buy for this headset ?

Would you say this is better than the Superlux HD681 and 681 Evo?

The link must have changed what's actually on the page regarding the ear pads because none of the options are velour...

Considered buying them for a while. Good point with the pads and paper. Ended up with buying HyperX Cloud II after all, though (was an amazing deal, and i needed a headset).

How can you compare them with same budget ATH M20X. Which is better in between these two.

I'm listening to this video with my HD668B's :)

I've never had open back headphones I might check them out

hey guys,im trying to find sheepskin for mdr 7506 but i dont know the difference between them and the normal earpads that comes with mdr 7506

Hey can you use the vmoda boompro with these??

Where is that Batman wall decal from?

I just got my superlux hd668b. I'm wondering if I should burn them in.

Velour pads don't add bass, if anything they remove some. What you heard was probably the effect of break-in, where the sound changes (usually in a good way) during the first few tens of hours of usage in susceptible speakers and headphones (and the Superlux HD668B are some of the most susceptible in the headphone category).

I remember hearing about these a while ago. They seem like great headphones for audiophiles.

I just love this headphone. It´s perfect for fps. I can hear the footsteps and the shots of the exact direction.

How you can choose earpads for this headphones?

you can here (sub)bass in songs with these hp's pretty nicely but it isn't powerful impactful as some would like it to be you just can't expect to have rumbly head shaking bass with open back hp's

I just changed the earpads from stock to valor, the valor earpads are softer but somehow they are so thin which caused my ears to be in contact with the driver. I would like to have much thicker earpads but that was the only one replacement earpads i can find for HD668B. So my question is what other models of earphones have the same compatibility earpads with HD668B? How about AKG K240?

Which one is better? superlux hd668b or Edifier H850?

Nice vid ! i subbed :D

Do these sound the same as the SUPERLUX HD 681? If so, can you get the velour pads in white for these?

Ever tried the Samson Sr850? What do you think of these vs the Samson?

I'm looking for a headset that allow me to hear what happen around me, like a doorbell or someone calling me, or to hear my own voice while chat. Is the semi-open design of this headset enough?

I still stand by this purchase. They were like under 50$ YEARS ago and i bought round sheepskin pads for them and they still sound great!

Do you know that 668bs are size adjustable? Few people know this actually. You must use a little bit of force. You can change their size quite a bit. And for the highs and bass use eq. Now I have fidelios x2 and 668bs don't fall far behind.

should I get these or SHP9500?

Good video! Please test the Skullcandy Hesh 2 Wireless headphones! Thanks!

Hows the build quality?

Since when did Shoenice become an audiophile? Do love these headphones, though. They're my gaming pc beaters.

does this come with a spilter

Question. Could you use a 3.5mm female to 3.5mm female and use V-Moda BoomPro Microphone with these headphones, and use it on a xbox one/ps4?

also you could you razer surround with it and get much more out of it

Do you think that these are equal to or better than the Sennheiser's hd598cs in terms of where it shines? Great videos by the way!

Would you say these are better for gaming than the Siberia V2's? Not because they sound better, but for gaming purposes.

For anyone who own a 668b: how much can I isolate external sound using this headphone? I know they are semi-open headphones but can I expect to isolate sounds like: people talking, cars, and other "urban" sounds? While I listen to some music of music on medium volume for example...

*tissue paper is more expensive than the headphone itself during covid times lol*

This or the Audio Technica m-30x?

Can you try the Samson SR850s?? I’m really trying to choose between the two

it has the motorheadphone style setup

The head set itself is great. BUT,,,,,,the cable that goes from the headset to the pc isn't forever. If you buy this new, then tie a stress knot around the side of the head set because otherwise you will have my situation where the head set will only work in one ear after a year of Heavy usage.(using it, tripping over it) This might apply to any headset. I replaced the cable with an Insiginia Audio extension cable and I'm not happy so for with Insignia.

What's the background music

@gamesky what do you think? superlux HD668b or hyperx cloud I for music? I mostly care for music and sound instead of gaming although I know the hyperx is for gaming but I heard it's amazing too

Which open back headphones has good bass? Anyone. I need recommendations. And Great Review. Congrats on getting 6K.

yeah, dope headphones...

HyperX cloud stinger or this???

Great review, I bought these headphones based on this video. Only have one rather big issue, those head pads aren't doing anything for me. They get pushed beyond the plastic so I'm basically wearing a headset with two plastic pieces digging into my skin. Is my head just freakishly huge or what, I don't see anybody ells mentioning this problem?

This is heavily inspired by Sennheiser, at first I thought it was a Sennheiser product. Until you named the company, Superlux, never heard of this manufacturer before

The Superlux HD668B's are the first "Real Headphones ive ever owned" Because the headphones i had before these were crappy Dollar general ones that had the Padding Fallout and i had basically hard plastic on my ear, And i do have to say the sound is indeed amazing, I prefer the Semi open back it has because whenever i use Closed back headphones it almost feels like the sound is inside my head and its just generally uncomfortable, The only downsides i would have to put on them would ofcouce be the Leather thats on the headphones, After a while the leather breaks and chips, I would DEFFINITLY recommend buying a replacement pair of Ear Pads for it, And Secondly, Sadly the Fact that these use a Male port instead of a Female port is a downside, Having a wire on the headphones means that if the Wire Breaks the headphones can just be ruined and actually on mine the Protective layer of Plastic Snapped in 2 so now there is a Gap were the wire is free to twist and Dangle in Ways you dont want a delicate wire to be in, They still work fine however i plan just to put some electrical Tape on them and that should work fine enough, Another downside to the wire is the fact that if ur like me and a "Little" Clumsy and you accidentally drop them off your desk the Headphones wont As i would prefer just drop on the floor because They can handle the 4 Foot drop but instead the wire will get Pulled which as i said before is Dangerous.

HD 330 or these??

in 2019 is this still the best option for Headphones for the same price?

The Samson SR850 has the same driver but comes with big velour pads stock and a more comfortable headband.

Superlux or Audio Technica entry level?

should I get these or skullcandy crushers I pc game and listen to all music I like some bass but I wanna be able to use my headphones for phone calls music gaming workingout and I love when I cant hear shit else when listening to music

Best headphone I ever had

Are they wireless

These earpads really fit in the Superlux HD668? Cause they are for the AKG K 240

These vs samson sr 850?

Love that desktop wallpaper. Where can I find it?

i own this headphones for about 7 months, its really worth the price, the separation is very clear, on my next list is the philips shp9500. have anyone tried those 2 headphones ? how do they compare ?

love this set... but change the ear cups...

are the cups useable because I can't find anywhere that will ship the custom ones please help

0:17 sorry but that statement doesn't make any sense. Most audiophile recommend the Superlux headphones specially the 681, the evo, 668b, 669 as entry level studio headphones. Dunno who were the "audiophiles" you're referring to, but they are not to be trusted.

I bought these headphones for gaming after watching this video and oh my God man were you right. These headphones are far better than all other 22 pairs of "true" gaming headphones I own. I own multiple headsets from companies such as Razer, Corsair, hyperx, turtle Beach, logitec, steelseries arctis, hp Omen, msi, Asus, lucid sound, Astro, Acer, creative sound, you name a company and I probably have a headset or two made by that company. For 50 bucks this headset out performs all of them. some of them I even spent upwards of 150-200 bucks for. Granted mine has now been modded with a gaming mic, upgraded earpads, an amp and top of the line audio cables bringing the total to just over $250 for my set up with this headset but it was all worth it. Bottom line is this.... This headset kicks ass..

You're an excellent reviewer. Keep it up.

Nice Ad!!!

Thanks

I still have these and still love them.

Are these better than the Philips shp9500?

Thats a semi open. Try full open back headphones like Grado

Replacing my old HyperX with these (with a BM-800 Mic), hope it won't disappoint me! :)

How are these compared to the DT990 pro / ATH-AD700X ?

Have you ever used the AKG K240's? they look very similar to these and have had a legendary reputation for years.

Ordering them now it's important for me to have good quality headphones. I'm just a little unsure about them being open but I'm sure i can live with it

Are the earcups really that awful? Different earcups are super hard to find online in Czech Republic.

Nice cool headphones... 👍

would those be good for studio recording (mixing?)

Got these for $28 from gearbest. You can find some cheap deals on aliexpress but i found gearbest cheapest and you dont have a paypal fee. :P

how do these compare to the philips 9500?
