    I also own these headphones. Very nice review here. I will add my thoughts for those interested. I do not find the bass to be muddy. They do improve after 100 hour break in. I do not find them to be super comfortable, but they are not too bad either. The ear cups are not quite deep enough for me. My ears touch the inner mesh a bit. I have compared these to other headphones such as V-Moda M100, Senn Momentum, ATH-M50. These all retail for over $200. For sound quality, I prefer the Superlux HD681 EVO. Not bad at all for $40

    I've use these for close to a year now and I'm pretty happy with them. I have no problems with the sound quality. They sound great to my mind. Good for gaming too. They are fairly comfortable too. I sometimes wear glasses when in front of the computer and with the glasses on they get uncomfortable after a couple of hours. But honestly I have yet to find a headphone that doesn't get slightly uncomfortable when wearing glasses.
    They certainly have a pretty cheap feel to them, though. So that's something that you're giving up for that low price. I should also mention that the right cup stopped working on mine some couple of weeks ago. One of the wires had to be resoldered and the warranty covered it. I don't imagine it would cost too much if they were out of warranty.

      I just got mine and they seems quite sturdy despite being made of plastic.

    I just ordered some HD 682 Evo yesterday, And i guess something I missed is that they do not have manual adjustable head band (just like HD 681 Evo)
    My question is, A lot of the time I have them around my neck (whlile traveling if i have to take them off my ear). Currently for my Creative Aurvana Live, I have to extend the head rest all the way so they fit comfirtably around my neck. What about These. If you just drop them and let them hang around yoru neck, is it comfritable ?

    Semiopen sounds nice to me. As I am looking for a nice fresh sound but also some air for my ears. On the other hand some more closed sound to the outside. But in your test I think I am not allowed to listen with them in the office or on the subway cause I get distract other people. What’s your opnion on that? Thanks for the video anway!

    • @derbigpr500
      @derbigpr500 9 років тому +8

      Flat can be also used to describe dynamics of a headphone. Flat frequency response is usually a good thing for audio electronics, because what comes in also comes out, but sometimes on headphones a flat sound is a boring sound, without dynamics, that sounds very monotonous and lacks excitement. For music listening on headphones flat is not ideal. For mixing, mastering, studio work, etc. yes, flat is good, but for enjoying music, it's usually not. That's because you percieve sound from headphones much differently than when listening to speakers in a room. Good flat speakers in a proper room will sound great, they will have plenty of bass, nice even response, etc. But flat headphones will usually sound very bass light and bright. It's just better to go for the sound signature you like that works best with music you listen to, and stop obssesing with perfectly flat and accurate sound, because you'll never gonna get that anyway. After all, best sounding and most expensive audiophile headphones that really sound special and VERY realistic and natural when you listen to them have far from flat frequency responses.

    I used theese for music production, sound is actually good, the bass is not as prominent tho, so you will need to reference bass on a different speakers/headphones. Be careful with the 3,5mm jack that sticks out of headphones, it's really easy to break it.

Yes I know I am not the first one to ask but here is what important to me: Crystal clear sound, sharp sound for the musical instruments and details you usually not hearing when listening in general. So i care less about the bass although it will still be nice to have it as well. What should i choose between the 2 then? Any help will be really appreciated!

    Why didn't you do the sound leakage test with the headphones on your head? Would have been better to do it like that so it is an actual representation of what the leakage will be like when in use, also would have been good if you muted the music for that part of the video too.

      It depends on how you computer soundboard is taking care of it, some can't handle them in the right way.
      Test it on your Smartphone, you'll be able to see if it's your motherboards fault.
      In the worst case you'll need to buy a better sound board to run it well.

      @derbigpr500 9 років тому +5

      In terms of build quality and comfort, yes. In terms of sound, no, not really. In fact, M50's don't sound better at all. They have a smaller soundstage, worse imaging, less detail, more colored sound, not as natural midrange, boomier bass, etc. It's more about preference than actual better or worse, but I don't think M50's will be any better, at least not from my experience.

  • @RobertMartinezPhoto
    @RobertMartinezPhoto 8 років тому +3

    I have these and the bass is awesome on them. But that is according to my ears. I also have the Phillips SHP9500 and yes the bass on those is very underwhelming, though it is a great headphone. Other phones that I have are ATH-M50x, Sennheiser HD598. I use the Evo's for gaming because they sound crisp and have great BOOM bass... also of course these are not super bass but compared to all my other headphones they have a awesome funky bass sound to them and great mids and highs as well. They also complement bass and drums on songs like early Rush etc.

    • @CodFishay
      @CodFishay 8 років тому

      im trying to pick either the EVO or the Philips SHP9500 , i read that a lot of people say the philips are the best for the price range, but ive also seen good about the evo.. the only thing that truly worries me about the philips is how open it is, the only headset i have and have ever owned is a turtle beach p11 so im sure both would be a lot better than that, but the p11's are closed when these are both open

    • @RobertMartinezPhoto
      @RobertMartinezPhoto 8 років тому

      Yes the Phillips is open while the Superlux is semi-open. And of all my headphones the Phillips has the most sound bleed so that even my family in the next room thinks that I am listening to speakers instead of cans. Lol. Another thing to consider is price, the EVO are more affordable and also if the volume is cranked high they have no bass distortion, I notice that on my Phillips if the volume and bass are too hi they will distort and clip a bit.

    I've got these headphones, and the low end doesn't translate very well, its always too loud...mids and highs sounded fine though. Also, they have too much clamping force at first, but this can easily be remedied. Definitely not better than £300 headphones, but not bad for £35 though.

      @noway8662 8 років тому +8

      +Spoert M I´ve used 668b for over five years now. It´s turned out to be really durable product despite being cheap. The design is just solid and drivers are good. I´ve dropped it on hard floor multiple times and still no problems. Only thing that is starting to wear out is cable surface, because I use my headphones for 2-8 hours every single day. But that´s not really a problem, since new cables can be had for cheap.
      I´m been wanting to buy a pair of 681 EVO:s to test myself, but since 668b:s keep on working I haven´t had any excuse to do so. One thing that sometimes gets mentioned is that few people have (apparently) snapped the headband on their 681 EVO:s, which is pretty much impossible to do with 668b, as the twin steel wires on headband and pressure adjustment wings are pretty much immune to any damage that doesn´t involve gorilla jumping on top of them. :)

      I have seen so many people say that the 668b is crazy on the treble though.. ive been looking at the EVO and the Philips SHP9500 , i read that a lot of people say the philips are the best for the price range, but ive also seen good about the evo.. the only headset i have and have ever owned is a turtle beach p11 so im sure both would be a lot better than that, but the p11's are closed when these are both open. The strap on the EVOs worries me as well which makes me feel like siding with the philips a bit more, i really don't know though.. I have also seen so many people say that the 668 is the best for music/gaming.. Anyone have any advice? I really need some help lol

      never had a chance to test for hd 681evo. but for 668b i've been used for more than 5years, it good but lack of bass(i'm a basshead) i love my previous senn hd202 better because of the bass. Probably this evo have more bass for me.

    • @hipmp5
      @hipmp5 8 років тому

      I think 681 evo got a warmer sound and better earpads (wich i changed on my superlux 668b), in my opinion for music they are less boring than 668b and are better for rock and metal music but my 668b are better on classical guitars and jazz stuff.
      Another thing: 668b needs amplifier to sound good and 681 evo don't need one

      Belrus - UHC montages! stereo is just have left and right audio, 7.1 is virtual surround sound, meaning they seperate the sound tracks so it sounds like sound is coming from 7 different directions (surround sound)

      @BelrusMC 10 років тому

      so why is stereo better

    • @randomfrankp
      @randomfrankp  10 років тому +6

      Because stereo is better for positional audio (enemy footsteps, true sounding) as opposed to virtual 7.1. 7.1 loses a lot of levels and true sound quality, it loses mids to make things sound father away and such.

      I've also changed my mind since that comment and if I'm ever going to buy a pair of headphones, it's going to be the Takstar hi2050's. They're supposedly so much more comfortable and sound better. Sure, they might not have the exaggerated soundstage of the 668b's but I don't care that much since I prefer comfort over soundstage.
