You're totally right! I have the HD668Bs I first hooked up with a Zalman mic (due to budget contraints) and they were amazing, and the flexibility of unhooking them so easily (as you say) and then using the short cable for iPhone (or whatever) was just perfect. I love Superlux, they are just great for us budget/money conscious gamers. Your review sums up their flexibility and great sound signature perfectly. I swapped the original ear cushions for VORCOOL earpads and again just perfect. WHY pay top dollar when you can get top sound and flexibility with these Superlux headphones. Amazing budget headphones for gamers! I added the ModMic 5 later (after the Zalman) when more money was available to me and again these just added to a perfect setup. You review as mentioned sums up the HDs perfectly. On a budget, get these, you won't regret it.

THANK YOU for telling people about getting different pads. The stock pads are horrible. Welcome to awesomness. I've had these for almost a year now. I switch between these and the Shp9500 for gaming. I just recently bought the Portapros and I have to say the price to performance is just stupid good. I only use the astro mixamp so i can plug these kind of headphones into it for the ps4. I've learned i don't like fake SS. Its just sounds echoey and like im listening through a tin can. I haven't found a single pair of headphones that sound good with the fake SS. but that's just me. Great review! Glad you finally found these. SHP9500 soubd as good if not better than these with a little less bass than these.

I've used this headset for ~5 years and I can fully recommend it. Not only is it affordable and quite light on your head, but also sounds good and is even quite durable. God only knows I've dropped them to hard floor MANY times during all these years and it still works like a new.

Keep in mind that this 3.5mm male jack that's sticking out may break after some use. The one on my Superlux HD 681 EVO is starting to break and probably doesn't have much life left in it. To be fair, I've had them for over 2 years but I haven't used them every day during that period.

I just replaced my steelseries arctis pros with these in my gaming setup... I modded the headphones a bit more. I removed the wings and replaced them with a detachable self adjusting headband, added brainwavz XL pads in micro suede and went with the v-moda boom Pro mic. All in all the headset cost is £77. Its insane. I have been using them with my steelseries gamedac so I still have all the eq functionality on ps4 as well as chat mix features and the option to add gain. But they work equally well on my pc with a free eq programme. I can now play on WAY lower volume with more clarity in the details. Its gotta be better for my ears in the long run. Highly recommend these.

Thanks to you, I got these and they feel like a cheat code! Found them locally for $20 use them on my PS4. They're not that loud but the clarity and openness makes it so easy to feel the my surroundings and immerse myself in the game. Unfortunately, there is little to no bass response so its hard to "feel" the game but once you put these on, you won't go back. I used to use closed-back headphones for gaming with a mic setup but now I'm going to be using these as my go-tos.

Instead of the modmic, I actually use the blue snowball mic on my ps4. And I have this headphone plugged into my $70 DAC/amp and now my setup is complete. You should try the SMSL SD793 DAC/amp. It's a good bang for your buck desktop amp.

I got my 668 B a couple days ago, and yes, the earpads are horrible, beyond horrible, my ears start to hurt after just 30 minutes, a headache after 2, the Pads are almost rockhard, super slim, didn't think about earpads because reviews on the website where I ordered them described them as comfortable, now I know these people can not possibly have ears. I already ordered replacement earpads from the same shop, they were marked as 681 Earpads but they fit the 668 B just fine since it is the same form.

1) velour pads are crucial for them Imo, makes them bright, open and amazing for music and serious gaming (positioning, footsteps etc). Leather pads give them too strong bass and darkness. 2). out of the box they need serious clamp force fix. Don`t be affraid to bend top arch, plastic may crack a little but inside are strong metal rods. Just make them comfortable.

This review, made me buy these. I cannot BELIEVE these cost the $43 that I paid for them. I replaced the Arctis Pro w/o the Gamedac, which cost $179.99. Those were good, but made my head hurt. Honestly, the HD668B, may outperform them, overall and for way, less. The only bad thing about HD668B is the orginal ear cushions are HORRIBLE. They do have a balanced sound out the box with those ear cushions. Still, I replaced them with some velour ear cushions by Brainwayvz.

I've been using this headset for over 3 years. I love them. I recommend you change pads before you even try them on with the original ones as mentioned in the video. I also changed the original cable to a "semi-professional" audio cable. I wanted to get the modmic back then but it was out of my budget at the time, but I will probably get it soon. PS: the top head cushions are absolute garbage in my opinion so I did some DIY magic to make them comfier.

Not bad, good even, but I have realised I really can't stand the reverb/phasing/is-that-an-aeroplane-flying-high-overhead sound that goes along with the virtual surround they produce and just use the stereo setting instead. I'm definitely starting to question my purchase after seeing this review! Thanks JTL, (seriously) I'll check these out.

I guess the whole difference in build quality between dedicated gaming headsets and designated audio gear has its roots in the greed of companys wrapping honey around the overall look and feel and less about sound quality in general. All these design aspects and the merch too raise the price lower the quality of parts put into considering high margin. I use my superlux together with a usb condenser mic from auna for all my gaming the MIC-900B is 40 bucks too - ok you need a stand for that mic, grab one from K&M 20+ bucks, another 100$ package :)

Hi there, nice and informativ video man, thx a lot. Yesterday I heard me through a lot of headphones (phil collins - easy lover, over and over again to get those little differences) and the hd668b, where in my top3. After comparing I didn't like those AKGs K701 or 702 (for me, very much too high, nearly not noticing the E-Bass line) or Beyerdynamics 880 Pro, 990 Pro (for me, not clear enough, a bit dull, especially with the E-Bass line from the song) not very much. Unfortunatly i couldn't compare those superlux to Philips Fidelio X2 or the Audio-Technica ATH-AD700X. So, my big question here, if u don't mind, where u ever able to compare those 3? Or do u have any thoughts about it? thx ps.: I want headphones for music and gaming via a Fiio E10K Olympus

@sirtipsalot7320
@sirtipsalot7320 7 жыл бұрын
I was able to snatch the audio technica ad700x in like new condition for $55. Is that a pretty good deal? Also do you think an astro mixamp (only like $30-$40 on ebay) would be a wise addition, as I like to be able to adjust between game/voice volume rather than one general volume slider like ps4 offers. The mixamp also allows you to output 7.1 surround sound if you wish, but I don't know what that will end up sounding like using non astro headphones. The next thing I plan on getting is the modmic 4.0 unidirectional with a mute switch, and since those come with multiple magnet thingies, I can try them out with my m50x as well, so I can have 2 headsets. Mixamp also works with any headphone/headset that uses a 3.5 mm jack.

Have you tried leather ear pads to increase the base? The soundstage might suffer a bit. You can also try the paper towel trick, where you put paper towel behind the stock ear pad liners. You can do one layer or have it folded multiple times. It should tame the treble while increasing the base. Might want to create a little hole into the middle of your makeshift paper towel inserts though

I know I'm late to this comment threat but I find that using an EQ has become necessary in almost all my listening sessions with any headphones as there's always a couple songs in a playlist that are either more bass or treble heavy depending how it's been mastered. So I fully agree with your comment. A few tiny tweaks with an EQ can make a huge difference

yeah love this headset in the uk i bought these for 30 pounds wow ! so got the ear pads for 3 pounds from china . 3 weeks later the pads came . but there are options for 5 bucks on amazon prime which i got also for the sake of time . well for 33 uk pounds i had a good headset i paired it with a snowball for gaming with a heavy stand from maplin for £19 uk pounds . so for £91.98 i had a good desk set up much better than any other set up before and its hard wearing . but ...thats not the best bit ! the best thing is ? i did tell a freind in canada he looked them up and for $9.32 in canada. he bought a pair from amazon a few months ago. he thought i was joking around . when they came and he tried them out . yes he was very surprised . but the after market pads are awesome for long gaming sessions . the best thing is these other popular brand names are good but turtle beach sadly just do not last at this price point . ive had these for 5 months using 5 days a week. an amp might be required but im not desperate to use one. ohms dont matter to me but a sound card will suffice and even a budget pc system will utilise these just fine. dont forget there are sound programs out there to help out with such a budget system . to sum it up. i really like them . yes im convinced . no im not sponsored or talked into giving any info here . but i do enjoy this headset daily . it is worth buying if you do not have a headset . yes it is plastic . but it is metal . theses are not audiophile quality . its the product i use . i do not care for brand names all over my stuff so this is good for that . an alternative is perhaps the steel series with orange rgb lighting cups for comfort and slightly better quality for gaming . priced at around £50 at the moment on ebay new or used with a mic onboard . best regards readers and to you painfully honest tech ;-)) brianpc

I've ordered the Superlux HD668B, and I see there are many people very strongly recommending that better pads be bought. Problem is, I live in Australia, and the only places on Ebay that have these specific pads are in the USA and cost $35+ incl. shipping, which is awful. And Chinese unbranded ones don't typically get anything but terrible reviews. I'm not sure what to do.

probably late, but you should try AliExpress, look for 110mm Defean pads. They're like a shop that sells "generic" ear pads but shipping's fast, and the pads themselves are really comfortable. I'd say, in terms of comfort, they're on par with the brainwavz XL sheepskin pads. Which is also another good option, brainwavzaudio ships internationally, you can get a pad from them. I suggest the XL ones. That paired with the 668b is just ughhhh

There is great pads on aliexpress, the ones you you see on sale in usa are also imported from China. I bought many quality earpads from there, cost arround 15 usd for a pair, ofcourse if you buy 3 usd earpads they will suck.

@confidentsalt3899
@confidentsalt3899 3 жыл бұрын
This a little late, but it's called sound stage. Also 7.1 is in what you use, some headphones just say that they can play it. If a pair of headphones say that they have 7.1 it's likely trash.

Seems like a great choice based upon what youtubers are saying, but IMO gaming headsets are crap or poorly designed. WTH is it with compression and noise cancelling mics along with absolutely shit-poor durability in gaming headsets? They want you to buy a new one every 18-24 months and they never make the best product possible.

I've owned the Turtle Beach PX24, Hyper X Cloud Stingers, Astro A40 TR w/ Mixamp TR, Turtle Beach Stealth 520, Steelseries Pro w/o Gamedac. Honestly, the Superlux hd668b is better and cheaper than all. The sound is better. Plus, they don't have a ton of bass, which gives me a headache.

Mellow Biped yes it does. Generic driverless usb soundcards works just fine. Just be cautious as some cheaper ones will fail to drive the headphones to optimum level resulting in low audio. The one recommended in this video is one of the best compatible usb card for the PS4.
