In the world there are about a thousand manufacturers of acoustic devices, and approximately one million of products from these manufacturers. So any company that appears on the market, stick quite natural reaction: what are you doing here? Most likely, this tricky question should answer and Superlux is notable in Taiwan, but virtually unknown in Russia, the company produces equipment for studios and a range of full-size headphones. For a long time, Russians could not buy the products of the Taiwanese company, but now their line has appeared on Gearbest. Therefore, we decided to consider the most famous product Superlux in the budget segment – the headphones HD668B.
Supplied “ears” in the usual sturdy cardboard box, inside of which are actually themselves Superlux HD668B, two cables (one meter, the other three), adapter 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm, and of a small pouch. No frills about it.
The same principle that guided the designers. All very standard, no bells and whistles not provided – two ear cushions, headboard, contoured soft tabs, but the plug for connecting a replacement wire. Materials – obvious from the budget sector: plastic, a kind of skin around the ear cushions; in General, appearance Superlux HD668B unlikely to knock you off your feet.
But arranged much better headphones sit on your head like a glove, a little pressure, but it passes. Adjustments size there, instead there is the same lining that prozines, provides fixation for different size heads of users. Ears the ear pads are placed almost entirely, of course, if you are not a relative of Cheburashka – those with large ears should definitely look for something else. The rest will not be any problems – the skin is conveniently located around the ear, feeding the sound directly into the “center”.
Which, however, will spread around you. At the Superlux HD668B so-called semi-open acoustic system – on the outside of the cups for a walk slot for the mesh. On paper it looks the best solution – turns to avoid the closed of noise cancelling and, as a consequence, considerable distortion of audio material, and also to hide the shortcomings of open headphones in which to listen to music only at home alone or in a circle of maximum tolerant associates. In practice all differently: Superlux HD668B still does not work use in the office, and public transport too – but for other purposes the Superlux HD668B sound great.
Headphones ideal feed – no such maximally twisted bass: “hits” a deep, but balanced and not forced to immediately turn off the music. Because of the Studio’s history Superlux headphones give decent sensitivity in a volume of 100 dB. Therefore, the “ears” can be connected to the computer and to the amplifier device safely “shake” and then, and then. Of course, you can pick up Superlux HD668B phones and portable players, but do not forget that in this case, your musical tastes will involuntarily have to share with others.
As for MIDs and highs, then, shall we say, better than his colleagues in price. Midrange sound is imperfect, but the dynamics of transmitted good the separation of instruments is, their emotions, there are also some nuances. With high frequencies the situation is similar – the sound of “top” is a bit plastic, but again, better than all other headphones in this price. Audiophiles, of course, will find something to complain about, and in a way they are right, but audiophiles don’t use headphones for two thousand rubles, right?
Yes, we are not kidding – at the moment Superlux HD668B even a little cheaper $ 30, because the discount, but even at full price headphones remain ultrabudgetary. For funny by modern standards, the money you get equipment with an excellent, almost professional sounding, comfortable fit on the head, with replaceable cable and useful for home use semi-open acoustic system. Yeah, Superlux HD668B does not work fake it and worn around the neck, sparkling brand, but if you just need sound quality, you at.
