Last one lasted a good 4 years of daily use. Needed some resoldering, and headband started tearing. New one with production date January this year sounds even better than the old one. Headband and earpad design has slightly changed. New ones have an embossed headband, old ones have a printed logo. Pads on the new ones are much softer than the old ones.
Thank you for the review, it helped me deciding to get this gear. I was looking for a pair of semi open headpones on a budget, as this will be my first, and this seems a good choice.
Thx :) i had a problem with these after 3-4 years. The problem was that the cable broke which im showing in the this video. Due to that one of the drivers was not working properly. I have a video where i fixed that problem: th-cam.com/video/MQxJ5AQo4pk/w-d-xo.html
i use them since 5 years, its very neutral out of the box, what makes them an perfekt allrounder and very versatile, you can adjust the eq to your likeings, the bass is decent but clear, i turn bass and vocals up and use them for gaming, or fun music listening , they may look not premium but they are definitely very durable. i am going to upgrade to the HD-660 pro, because they are closed and deliver some more saturation/bass, they are under 50$ but they compare vs 200-300 headphones range, great value again
Great review. You really helped me to decide if or not to buy them.(I will buy them). I loved that you did not mention the specs, you are right, that tells you nothing about the sound.
Good video, i have the HD662 Evo which are also bloody good en work wel in office environment because they are closed, im going to order these for at home and some bigger soundstage
You’re right :) the cable on my HD681 EVO broke and due to that one of the speakers didn’t work. I thought about tossing it out but then I decided that I’ gonna fix it. I fixed it with my friend. A video is coming about it today or tomorrow. I hope yours is still working properly :)
nice review! i was wondering to get between the logitech g433 and the superluxs but i think i made up my mind. if anyone tried both please tell me, any opinions will help, thanks
How does this compare to Samson SR850? I have been looking for a companion to my One Odio Pro that's closed back and puts a greater emphasis on bass.. So was looking around this price range to find this and the Samson SR850 amongst other things for something more balanced and less bass heavy without breaking the bank.
I haven't tried the Samson SR850, but I have found a forum where this topic is discussed. Check it out: www.head-fi.org/threads/two-budget-kings-superlux-681-evo-vs-samson-sr850-similar-to-superlux-668b-but-with-headband.687900/
@@techzact Oh, thank you for the reply! I have also seen discussions that the Samson SR850 are OEMs of the Superlux 681 or something along those lines according to this thread. www.head-fi.org/threads/samson-sr850-superlux-oem-review-a-50-budget-champion.546544/ Hence why I am super confused right now haha.
@@vampyvania you are welcome. Btw I dont know much about the Samson, but my Superlux hd681 just broke couple of weeks ago. The left driver started not to work properly. I took it apart but I don't have time to fix it, so maybe I will pass it to someone who knows how to fix it, or I will buy wireless headphones.
@@techzact I see. Glad it lasted for quite some time for you though! I have never been a greatest fan of wireless due to latency issues and its price but I suppose that's where the world is going.. Hope you find a good pair!
Great sounding headphones... I've own 3 in 4 years.... the build quality is terrible. All three broke at the headband. All three broke at the ear connector. All three, the pads deteriorated within a month or two. All three went dead in one ear which I had to soldier myself to get them going again. Great sound, but don't last. I recommend them, but take extra care.
Hey! Mine just got wrecked :( The sound was barely coming from the left earcup. I started to take apart, but havent got time to fix it and i need a noise cancelling one so Im gonna buy the sony wh-1000xm4.
I Dont recommend these because the headband broke after 5 months and it sucks now I have the audiotechnica ath m20x and they are a lot better in comfort and sound and they cost 49 dollars i recommended Samson sr 580 or audiotechnica m20x in this price
Literally the best review about these headphones in youtube, thanks. I've been using these for 1 year now and they are very good.
Thank you very much :)
Köszi az infót, jól jött sokat segítettél, keep up the good work

I hope I can try the new one :) I’m glad you also did some fixing with the old one :)
Hi! do you know where can I find more info about the redesign?
thanks, you help me to buy it.
Saludos desde Argentina.
I’m glad it helped. Thanks :)
Thanks for the review! i just ordered them, great vid.
Thank you! Hope u will love it :)

Damn! I lost sound in the left channel because of this cheap plastic cable! Now I have to hold this wire to get sound!
Great review, this deserves more views
Thank you very much :)

Thank you very much! Good decision :)
I have the first hd 681, and it sounds wonderful... For the price there is no competitor...

You know you could very very easily replace the cable on these. Like it has 1 screw and you need to solder 2-3 wires together.
Hey! I have took off the cover but now it doesn’t look so easy to make it work again 😄 can you text me on instagram please?
nice review! i was wondering to get between the logitech g433 and the superluxs but i think i made up my mind. if anyone tried both please tell me, any opinions will help, thanks
Thanks! I hope someone will tell you the difference. Sadly, I didn't try the logitech one.
I see them and my skull at the top hearts just by watching them. Sound is good though.
Btw they are comfortable, so the top of my skull didn't hurt. And yes, they sound really good.
If they last 2 -3 years then thats fine. Greejt review.
Thank you :)
good video bro
Thank you :)

ordered some earlier
dont forget to permanently fix that janky cable/jack out with epoxy putty, so you wont have to worry about the cable breaking ever
My 668b fail on my on 4th year. It still works. But the headphone jack. Wire keep cutting my music off. The connector at the headphone.
It should be really annoying. Have you tried to fix that somehow?
I love mine
After I fixed mine I like it as well :)

Bravo. So che e una cuffia che merita, in Italia a 35 euro.
Thanks, yes, it was a good purchase.
Are these worth it in 2021?
Edit: Very good video
Thanks a lot! I don't know, maybe there's a more durable one on the market, because the cable broke on mine after 3-4 years.
@@techzact Did the cable break or was it the non removable part on the headphones?
@@rutles222 you can see it in the video where it broke. It was the non removable part on the headphone.
@@techzact Oh ok thanks
@@rutles222 no probs :)
Does it have Bluetooth?
No, it doesn’t have.
@@techzact You can convert them easily to Bluetooth by buying an external Bluetooth adapter. That is the benefit of the detachable connector.
@@spiroxis I didn't know that. That would be an interesting experiment :) Thanks for the comment. :)

Thanks for the comment. Maybe I was too gentle with it and thats why it didnt break for me 😄
