Superlux HD-662 WH Evo

I've got to say, I got these because they were closed and to be used in hobby-level recordings. They really do their job well.

The sound in these is quite good. Closed headphones tend to make me perceive the sound as a bit claustrophobic after extended usage. With these headphones I experience nothing unexpected in that regard.
These are labeled studio headphones and I have to say, the sound is a bit flatter in these headphones than in their siblings in the series, the semi-open Superlux HD-681 EVO. However, there's something about the highs that sounds a tad stale, listening to these.
Mids are great and the bass is okay.

They also come with a brilliant cable solution. The left can is equipped with a 3,5mm male stereo connector that you attach your headphone cable to. You'll never have to worry about ripping the cord with these. It also comes with two cables. One which I find a tad too short, the other a bit too long, but that's going to depend on how you have your gear set up anyway - but those cables are really bad. They're stiff and feel very cheap, so you're going to want to complete these with a nice braided cable fairly soon.

Regarding wearing these, they aren't very comfortable on your head after wearing them an hour or two. Granted they are closed cans and should kind of clamp to your head. The stock faux leather pads they come with gets warm and are perhaps a little too stiff. They're probably a lot more comfortable paired with the fabric pads that came included in the package, but strapping those on is a bit counterproductive, granted you buy these cause you want a pair of closed headphones.

The build quality feels okay with these. They are indeed a bit on the plastic side of things, but doesn't rattle or feel especially cheap compared to the HD-681 EVO's and that's probably because they are less flexible in nature, being a pair of closed headphones.

To sum it up I guess it boils down to what you're looking for. If that's a pair of closed headphones with amazing sound for the buck then these are pretty much your go-to cans. They are far from as fun to listen to as the Bass-Boomy HD-681 EVO's, but they feel more accurate when presenting the sound. I feel like all of my complaints gets canceled out by the lucrative price tag on these, and for that, I'm very happy with them.

If you're interested, check out my review on the Superlux HD-681 EVO's too. Just wrote that one.

Cheers!

I got caught by the white design and read a lot of comparisons and some reviews in websites so I had some quite good pre-opinion and some doubts.

However once I got them I have been a lot surprised!
They sound really great and even flat for the price!

If one wants to mod this pair of can there are a very simple ones online, just google it, for slightly lowering the highs and make the low-end more cohesive with the midrange, they say, but I admitt I don't need the mod. atm.

To me is perfectly fine how they sound, I am actually able to divide the frequencies range and understand where to work when I am mixing and I can't mix using the monitors by night.

They maybe feel a bit plastic cheap, ok, but honestly they do their job pretty well and all in all are solid, not bad. I feel yu can't broke it easily.

Nice touch: the cables are detachable
.
At the beginning the first hour I felt they were too tight and maybe hurting..but probably just because they were brand new and right out of the box

Once used and handled for some now they really don't hurt and you can anyway push a bit (if needed) the rigid rubber coated structure above the head, to make them more soft accordingly to the size of your head.

They come with 2 different lengths of wires, an extra pair of velour/velvet pads, which can help a bit to change the sounds as well as they absorb the frequencies in a different way than the vynil ones.

You have also a bag, the jack adapter, manual, an the packaging is pretty solid.

They are closed back which I favour for night work without bothering anyone and good for recording vocals without having their sounds leaking into the mic.

Thinking about the price you pay, to me is a total bargain, in their range I truly recommend them.
Cheers

These headphones seem a closed back version of the HD-681 Evo, with some differences:

- Although almost identical physically, the fit is tighter: specifications state that caliper pressure is 7,5 N versus 3,5 N of HD-681 Evo;
- Softer ear pads;
- Earcups can only tilt up and down: the HD-681 Evo has fully articulated earcups;
- Sound feels even more captivating, but it's a subtle difference.

The things I like or don't like are the same about the HD-681 Evo.

I like:
- Sound. I liked them immediately: it's a rich sound that entertained me out of the box;
- Comfort. The elastic headband makes easy to find the correct position. The standard ear pads are very big and don't apply pressure to my ears; in the box there are also a pair of velour ear pads;
- Detachable cable; two of them, of different lengths, are supplied.

I don't like:
- They don't seem robust as other headphones I have, but time will say.

Other products I know about:
- If you need foldable headphones for an on the go setup, consider the HD-685: they are much easier to carry and sound more natural;
- If you like the HD-662 Evo engaging sound but you need less isolation from outside noise, consider the HD-681 Evo;
- If you like a "warmer" sound, or need higher impedance, consider the HD-660.
