Hello All!
I normally do not write anything up about headphones or equipment after I have used them for at least a week or two. However, these headphones are too good to let sit. You are looking at the Superlux 668b’s These are by far the cheapest headphones I have every purchased with the hopes of them sounds “alright”. Let me say that these are the best headphones for the price, by far!
As for build, they are very cheap feeling, just as cheap feeling as a pair of beats (if you cannot tell I do not really like them to much haha) They are made of cheap plastic and even cheaper metal frames. However, I can say that they are still rather comfortable (we’ll see if they get better after the new pads come in). Also, they have the BEST detachable cable system. Rather than the female end of the 3.5mm cable going into the housing of the headphone, they made about a 3/4 in. 3.5mm male end headphone cable come right out of the cup. This means that all you need to make your cable longer is a 3.5mm headphone extension cable. Also, it allows for smaller amplifiers and even small mp3 players to be attached right to the headphones thus eliminating the need of having a long cable on your headphones. As you can see in my last picture, I have attached a portable headphone amp (Creative Soundblaster) and all I need to attach is a 3.5mm aux cable to my phone or mp3 player. The same could be done for a small ipod of mp3 player.
Now to sound. Remember the Phillips SPH9500′s that I reviewed a few weeks ago? yeah these guys are in the same league as the phillips. I can say that the 9500′s do have better comfort, and look nicer, and have a better build.... damn do I love those headphones. However, the 668b’s are right there with the highs, mids, and lows. The lows are a little bit more punchy on the 9500′s, but they are also twice the price. These have been my go-to cans for the past 2 days, and I do not regret that. My V-Moda’s might have been knocked out of the line up for the current rotation.
Overall, these are amazing, and after I get the new pads (the stock ones are kinda hardish) I will report back and make note of any changes.
Thanks for reading and I hope that these posts are giving some insight to this awesome realm of audio. Cheers and until next time (maybe a vinyl setup review??) have a good one!
