Superlux HD-662

I purchased those Headphones because I needed some inexpensive Headphones in order to play my bass without disturbing my neighbours. So I ordered the Superlux HD-662 simply because they are among the cheapest products, but still have good reviews. I never thought I would use them in a different occasions then playing alone at home, because I was used to more expensive headphones.

Quality: As usually the thomann package arrived very quickly and very well packaged. My first impression of the headphones: I was simply surprised. I honestly didn?t expect that quality for that little money. But I have to say that after some Weeks the audio jack broke (easy to fix!), and the wire insulation broke at the passage to the headphones. All in all no big deal . But ? as my biggest complain ? the tissue is getting very cracked, what looks not very nice.

Comfort: The headphones are not very lightweight, that doesn?t mean they are too heavy. But during longer (recording etc.)-sessions I noticed the weight definitely. Additionally I?m really starting to sweat under the Headphones. Especially in the summer that?s a little bit ? eew?.

Sound: Keep in mind that I am not a professional audio?master?. In my opinion the Headphones have its strength in the Bass frequencies. But I also used as ?ordinary? headphones, simply to listen to music when I am working at the PC. I think when you don?t have very high requirements the Superlux HD-662 have a very good sound and, that?s my very own opinion, can compare sound wise to products in the price range up to 150 Euros.

Conclusion: All in all you can say that the Superlux HD-662 are awesome for the price. If you don?t mind the weight and the minor quality issues you can get very high quality sounding headphones for a little money.

Now that I've had these headphones for more than 6 months, I though it would be worth reviewing them!
They've had a lot to put up with, since I bring them everywhere when I travel (long drives/flights - squeezed in with luggage etc) and they've held up quite well.

I haven't noticed any decrease in sound quality at all or any damage for that matter.
I mostly use these headphones for home recording / mixing / live sound mixing and also just for kickin' back and listening to tunes.
The isolation is pretty good, enough to hear what you're listening to at low-mid volume levels even in loud surroundings. To my ears the sound quality is really good for something in this price range.
They're really comfy, I've worn these for countless hours and never have they felt uncomfortable, I sometimes forget that I'm wearing them !

I honestly can't find any flaws with these, in terms of value for money you probably can't do better.
I'd be getting another pair in a heartbeat if anything was to happen to them !

A big shout out to Thomann for a hassle-free delivery !

I can't recommend these highly enough. I'm a full-time audio professional and spend long periods of the day wearing "cans". I bought these as both my main pairs of headphones - BeyerDynamic DT100s & DT150s - were badly in need of an overhaul due to wear and tear. I found these so comfortable both to wear and listen to that the BeyerDynamics (which cost more than 3 times the price of these Superlux headphones) have been relegated to "spare" and the HD-662s have become my main set. I have recommended to a number of friends and colleagues and none have been disappointed. The build quality is excellent and although I had concerns that headphones at this price point might suffer wear and tear issues I am pleased to say they have lasted well for over two years without any problems. The enclosure is very good too - essential in a studio situation. One big issue with wearing headphones for extended periods of time can be the "fatigue" and often cheaper cans will begin to get sore or hurt. Again, this hasn't happened with these - the self adjusting headband keeps them at a comfortable level and also seems to avoid them being too tight. Great price/quality ratio overall.
