[@stephengriffin4120]

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.👍

[@conrod87]

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

[@laalmonn]

i got mine running for 4 years and still going

[@oceanwaves95]

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.

[@themike97_58]

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.

[@seismixx]

3 years and still going good

[@ketarap]

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.

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.

[@mbanini6848]

DO NOT PLUG DIRECTLY TO NOTEBOOK. DO NOT PLUG IN BACK CONNECTOR of PC. THis HEADPHONES ARE 52 ohm intended for DJ and studio console that most often provide POWER AMPLIFIER. IF not properly MATCHED POWER AND IMPEDANCE can destroy yout HEARING with overpowered sound in coils. The WORK AROUND with computer PC is PLUG int FRONT 3.5mm usually meant for headphones. And check mother spec for features like "AUDIO BOOST" or "impedance match" or "power match" . IC circuits of integrated audio posible provide power control for more than 32 ohm headphone (where this superlux are 56 ohm). Hope it Helps.

[@itxrror1ze722]

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

[@shanePip]

I'm actually torn between the two as well. Waiting for feed backs

[@isaakestela8308]

I’m on the same boat.

[@soldierboy2350]

Get the superlux hd668b's. I own both and the sound is better with the superlux. Bass hits better and lower while still maintaining beautiful crisp mids and highs. The Samson are great don't get me wrong but the superlux are definitely better

[@itxrror1ze722]

soldierboy 23 alright thank you sooo much!!

[@soldierboy2350]

Any time bro. Your welcome. You'll ABSOLUTELY love the sound of the superlux. Especially if your using for gaming. Get a little cheap portable headphone amp like the neoteck, topping nx1, or fiio a3 and you'll really open these headphones up to a whole new world.

[@RareAmv]

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.

[@haha-iv4fm]

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

[@Constantinesis]

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?

[@divinginthedeep]

Probably. Open backs/semi open backs are usually ahead there.

[@Shuubox]

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. 😀

[@kingpossie]

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.

[@SylarXtream]

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

[@Trian1618]

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?

[@UnluckyDomino]

U might want a fully open back. These are fine but if you have the volume high then its hard to completely hear whats happening around you since they are only Semi-open. I have the headphones and I can hear some loud noises around me but when I'm playing loud games or video then I can't hear around me noises that are far away.

[@Hellgastify]

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.

[@Norman.Chavez]

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

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

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

[@attarsanahresources5540]

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?

[@bigthonkk]

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?

[@WhiteHartMart]

JAKOSHUA I did that and it works fine for the audio and mic. Only thing is the weight of the adaptor and the design of the connection on the headphones means the mic isn't very stable and moves around a bit. It also sits a bit low but the VModa is so flexible you can get around that.

[@chickenninja4158]

WhiteHartMart So it worked well?

[@germas369]

Thats what i thought aswell. But i still chose to buy a modmic, because the headphones have a small cable poking out and the vmoda mic would move around alot. However there is a alternative for the modmic from massdrop, called massdrop minimic. It also uses adhesive instead of plugin and they also cost about $25. The sound quality isnt as good and it doesnt block out the background noise as well as modmic but its still pretty good for its price.

[@beanboi7216]

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

[@hakobian2162]

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.

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...

[@OfficialGamesky]

Marlon Mendes it isolates pretty well for semi open headphones. Do the mod where you put tissue behind the ear pads and it will make a big difference

[@Owen322]

Are they wireless

[@d0nj03]

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).

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

Comparable soundstage and mids to DT990, but bass is less. And comfort is WAY better on the Beyerdynamic. The 700x has a more intimate soundstage (even more mids) but with tighter more accurate imaging than Superlux and Beyerdynamic. If you're considering the Superlux still, then I'd actually go with the Samson SR850 which has the same driver but comes with velour pads stock.

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..

Zan'Keiki Zannanji how about the phillips shp 9500 is it better than the superlux?

[@zankeikizannanji9545]

I don't think so.. Those Phillips headphones are only 32ohms. And I've read about those on Head-Fi, seems like those headphones have non-replaceable ear pads. At least Superlux has universal design, so you can use AKG K240 pads with it and replica pads are quite cheap. You can get cheap pads on Aliexpress for $2-3. If you really want something with the similar price, get yourself a ISK MDH9000 or Marantz MPH-2 or maybe LyxPro HAS-30. These three are all replicas, but they are quite an upgrade from Superlux. However these are not open headphones, so this sucks. I personally would go with Superlux, they are built pretty good. My old Superlux HD681B has been serving me for nearly 3 years now. But I did order Superlux HD688B few days ago, because my friend has those and they sound so much better!

[@alexanderjarvis9827]

Choa Park I have the Samson SR850 and SR950, which are rebrands of the Superlux HD668b and HD669, just with velour earpads, permanently attached wire, and an AKG style self-adjusting headband. The closed back variant pushes back the mids a bit compared to the SR850 and the close back nature fills out the low end

[@alexanderjarvis9827]

The low end has better extension and reaches into the sub-bass whereas it doesn't on the open back variant. The closed back is more linear and balanced than the open back but they are more alike than different. I really like both and I used both regularly even though I own more expensive headphones and earphones like the Philips SHP9500, Pioneer SE-A1000, and the Hifiman RE-400. I recommend both headphones. I would look for the Samson variants to see if you can snag a deal as they tend to be significantly cheaper than the Superlux

[@loonation2185]

Alexander Jarvis thanks for the reply man!, i think ill go for the 669, btw is shp9500 supposed to be better than those superluxes? some reviewers even compared it to the more expensive hd600. is it just the hype like the m50x?

Gamesky , Did you get the hifiman pads or Cosmo pads?

[@OfficialGamesky]

i used the hifiman pads but i linked the Cosmo because they are compairible and I couldn't find a link on the Hifiman

[@WhiteHartMart]

Great video. I have the Superlux HD681 Evo and use with an adaptor and a VModa Boom Mic. Fantastic, bargain, gaming headset 😁

[@OfficialGamesky]

WhiteHartMart I've heard those are great. I love my V-Moda Boompro mic as well

[@shawnorjiakor]

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

[@OfficialGamesky]

Shawn Orjiakor definitely the Beyerdynamic DT990 but you will need an amp because they require a lot of power to push them

[@shawnorjiakor]

Gamesky thanks

[@pikkyuukyuun4741]

Shawn Orjiakor Fidelio X2

[@OfficialGamesky]

SamCovert I need to try these

[@beanboi7216]

these or Audio Technica AUD ATHAD500X

[@OfficialGamesky]

Haven't tried the Audio Technica's

[@beanboi7216]

Gamesky ah ok

[@ProperDave]

These are a LOT cheaper than the Audio Technica

[@loganchrome8747]

Great vid, man! This was super helpful!

[@already-dead6246]

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

[@ExplosionKid570]

Already-Dead unless you are in a public or loud environment (little sister constantly screaming) open are the best

[@already-dead6246]

the 669 are closed so i might just get them

[@ExplosionKid570]

Already-Dead what are you going to use them for?

[@already-dead6246]

honestly i would like music listening headphones for that price with good quality also I might do a little bit of editing with them too

[@ExplosionKid570]

Already-Dead just at home or will you use them to listen to music outside as well?

[@elgreatnate5254]

Sup man these or the alphas or gsps?

[@OfficialGamesky]

For gaming the Alphas for sound and the GSP300 for the mic. The Superlux won't get as loud as these others do for console gaming

[@elgreatnate5254]

Okay im gonna be playing on pc so what do you recommend ?

[@OfficialGamesky]

@@elgreatnate5254 then the Superlux would suit you fine....just change the earpads. The stock ones are awful

[@elgreatnate5254]

Gamesky thanks man your such a badass youtuber , i watch all your reviews , i watched the razer kraken 7.1 v2 and the alphas , sennheisers , even these it was just a hard pick man im in a $100 budget i just want a headset that are comfy and i cant hear everything crystal clear . Good job man you big go big one day!

[@elgreatnate5254]

*your gonna go big one day

[@SY-hr8yf]

HyperX cloud stinger or this???

[@Collasseum]

are they really that good?

[@OfficialGamesky]

yes, with those earpads and some tissue behind the padding these things sound like a pair of $300 headphones

[@Collasseum]

I just looked at the Superlux 681-evos (white) because I like the color scheme, do those have that awesome dynamic open sound stage and great sound like the 668's or are the 668's just way better...

[@Zpanadero]

Gamesky Can you explains what do you mean with "tissue"? I have no idea

[@kaydenzoller8574]

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

[@kaydenzoller8574]

You should still check out and review they psyc wave zx! They're the best under $40 for bass and sound quality. Also you may have heard of them but if not you should definitely try them, I'm talking about the monoprice 8323 headphones. I recently bought them and they are the best headphones under $20! It's amazing how great these 2 headphones are

[@maikaodabaixada578]

Got them on gearbest for 30 dollars and they shipped all they way here to brazil, quite cheap price i paid.

[@eggos3707]

These or Razer kraken 7. 1 v2?

[@meaningful2366]

PissInTheAss Films razer headphones are terrible

[@meaningful2366]

PissInTheAss Films I owned one and man so many regret

[@mysticnal690]

Lol Razer Kraken is a joke

[@timmyyong91]

Love that desktop wallpaper. Where can I find it?

[@OfficialGamesky]

thanks, it is something I put together myself 1drv.ms/i/s!Aqv-t3RvqSLMgu55MXjYtswYgnEYCg

[@timmyyong91]

Gamesky Awesome, thanks!

[@OfficialGamesky]

timmy yong no problem

[@AdenGFX]

I have problems when listening to these on my phone. Sound is way too low, anyone else have this problem?

[@GoProYolo]

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!

[@OfficialGamesky]

thanks, I think they are really two different kinds of headphones. with these being open back there is more clarity and space in the sound where the 598Cs have more bass and a warmer sound. both are great but they are different. The 598 you could use in public without bothering anyone where these you would have everyone around you listening to your music

[@guilhermemoraesdasilva7058]

GoProYolo 598 is way better. Better imaging, better detailing and superior confort.

[@guilhermemoraesdasilva7058]

Not to mention the 598cs is closedback so there is some insulation going on, so the soundstage of the hd668b is wider, but the imaging on the 598cs is still better in imaging.

[@ALLIDOISNGUYEN]

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

[@shade0636]

Wtf I had these headphones on and after wearing them for like an hour I kid you not, I'm not even joking. . . my right ear started bleeding like crazy. I lift up my hand to scratch my ear and it returns to me with blood all over it. It bled WAY more than I expected, the blood was running down my neck too. After further inspection I noticed it was a cut that was behin my ear. How did it get there? I HAVE NO IDEA. I have no idea if this was actually related to the headphones or something else, but this has never happened in m life and it happened after I was wearing these headphones. I highly doubt it was the headphones though, there was nothing sticking my ear and they weren't even that uncomfortable ( I was using stock ear pads by the way).

[@OfficialGamesky]

Damn....the stick earpads are pretty stiff though

[@shade0636]

Gamesky I think I have an explanation, I wear glasses so perhaps the headphones were pushing my glasses to hard onto my head? That seems like the most logical explanation.

[@shade0636]

I also found a red spot behind my opposite ear in the same spot where I got the cut on my other ear. Further evidence to support my theory, I think it's safe to say it was just the headphones clamping my glasses too hard.

[@ferranmelero7727]

SĦȺĐɆ that is wierd

[@bilalbokhari7612]

Best wired headsets for about 130?

[@OfficialGamesky]

Bilal Bokhari I would have to go with the Sennheiser 598Cs because they are great for pretty much anything you throw at them

[@xOogieBoogie3x]

Nobody ever says that. Audiophiles collectively recommend Koss PortaPros or KPH30i.

[@JUDALATION]

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

[@Anonymous-mh4vi]

Best headphone I ever had

[@GunnGunn10]

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

[@jachymecek]

I found them for $17 lol

[@kevinmorrice]

it has the motorheadphone style setup

[@mchlup]

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

[@OfficialGamesky]

+mchlup they are pretty bad
