" ... Audio quality- true studio quality ... "
" ... Overall a good product with great audio quality, just don't beat the hell out of it and it'll last. ... "
" ... Sounds like 500 bucks ... "
" ... The sound quality is great and after burning them in, they produce a very balanced frequency range, almost flat. ... "
" ... I picked these after reading online about their quality and that more open headphones have a better sound stage. ... In a youtube video earlier, I could hear the quiet hiss from a microphone and I won my first game of PUBG I played with them. ... "
" ... These headphones sound great and there's a lot of sounds I'm picking up that I never noticed using desk speakers/ other headsets ... "
" ... I'm not a sound engineer or hobbyist so I can't speak to sound purity, but I've heard theyre pretty great. ... "
" ... I have had these headphones for a couple years, and the sound produced is just incredibly clear for a $40 price. ... Seriously, I normally wait to get home to use these instead of listening to new music in my car because of how much I pick up that I wouldn't otherwise. ... "

" ... These are easily the most comfortable cans to ever touch my head. ... "
" ... Lightweight and comfortable for hours ... If you work out in these they will hold the sweat in the earcups and begin to smell ... "
" ... These headphones are very comfortable on my head and I can wear them for hours without any pain. ... Those complaining about tightness and discomfort must have huge heads hehehe. ... "
" ... they're comfortable (I have small ears). ... they fit well over my head and are adjustable. ... "
" ... They are the most comfortable pair of headphones I've ever worn. ... "
" ... The ear pads are just fine, though I did buy velour pads due to personal preference. ... Comfort is an issue until you realize that the headband is made of wire and bend it until it’s more comfortable. ... Velour replacement pads do wonders for comfort. ... After small tweaks, I can wear these for hours. ... "
" ... I have replaced the earpads with something more comfortable, and see myself keeping these for a while. ... "
" ... The adjustment free “headstrap”/“padding” seemed odd at first but otherwise has been comfortable. ... "

" ... These HD668B only cost me $37.99, but I admit I enjoy them more. ... Compared to lesser headphones of higher price, these sound impressive. ... "
" ... Especially considering the price. ... Build quality is decent for the price. ... So the Superlux is amazing value for the money ... "
" ... For the money, they are quite good though. ... "
" ... Like all of the people have said, it sounds great with its price. ... "
" ... These are worth far more than they cost. ... "

" ... they fit well over my head and are adjustable. ... "
" ... All the points where pieces connect don’t seem to be too fragile and the materials feel just fine for the price point. ... "
" ... The material may feel "cheap" to some but the sound quality is great. ... "
" ... they feel cheap but don't sound cheap and i love that ... "
" ... Very good quality sound with a poor quality build. ... "
" ... And they can take a decent beating as well. ... "
" ... They won't break. ... "
" ... make sure to buy the velour pads separately b/c the leather pads and tightly sewn together and is too to tight after 5min on head. ... "

" ... And if you're trying to get away from the "expensive" gaming headsets you're extremely close to a decent one. ... It really adds to the gaming experience. ... Barely sounds different than what's on most gaming headsets. ... Can't say for sure if it's better than gaming headphone software, but it definitely adds detail and makes it easy to pinpoint where shots are coming from. ... Now you've got a $110 headset that is supposed to "stick it" to the big gaming companies. ... "
" ... You know, gaming, online video, and editing audio and video. ... In a youtube video earlier, I could hear the quiet hiss from a microphone and I won my first game of PUBG I played with them. ... "
" ... I have literally jumped in my seat at the sound of an enemy in game thanks to the sound stage on these and I don’t regret the spur of the moment purchase at all. ... "
" ... I used it for my daily gaming session. ... "
" ... I'm using these for gaming headphones and they are unbelievably good for the cost. ... "
" ... It's has an amazing sound, it doesn't have to be for music only, it does work beautifully for gaming too :) ... "
" ... Fantastic sound quality from relatively inexpensive headphones, great for music or gaming. ... "
" ... I do a lot of FPS gaming and the tactical edge it gives me in games like CS:GO and Rainbow Six: Siege is awesome. ... "

" ... These are not headphones for those used to mass market headphones, they err on the bass light side. ... Bass may be light by the standards of bassheads but what it does have is tight and doesn’t linger, the low mid range quality helps here. ... "
" ... Bass isn't boosted, but great reference design. ... "
" ... some say it lacks in bass but for me it had just the right amount. ... "
" ... Mids: distant, not upfront, but are revealing. ... "
" ... Bass extension is good and accurate but a little subdued. ... The highs are a bit more tame and the bass is slightly more present ... 2) Appreciates clear high frequencies over pounding bass ... "
" ... These headphones have decent bass for the price class, are a little bright in the high end but are very listenable! ... "
" ... Hooked it up to my audio setup, and the bass was very nice. ... "
" ... Wide range, including bass end, clear mids, clear and distinct throughout entire audio range. ... "

" ... I've had 2 pair on these headphones and both of them have stopped working . ... One lasted 3 months the other lasted 8. ... "
" ... But that creates a second issue. ... "
" ... These only worked for 7 months. ... "
" ... I have to send them back and re-buy them if i decide to try them again . ... They receive nothing but praise, unfortunately I just have bad luck. ... "
" ... His stopped working after 2 months. ... "
" ... I think I've had this headphone for about 4-5 months now and it unexpectedly cracked and I have lost all power to the right speaker. ... "
" ... When I bought them, I assumed they were going to be long lasting headphones, they just just stopped working, only way I can hear any audio is by pinching/fiddling with the cable. ... They lasted 2 months for me. ... "
" ... I have ordered these in the past, and wanted a second pair after I lost my first. ... "

" ... Two different length cables ... "
" ... great sound qaulity for the price also because of the detachable 3.5mm cable i pluged in a bluetooth reciever by mpow and made these wireless for and extrea $12 a couple months ago its great love them ... "
" ... Great sound, removable cord, self-adjusting (it really works), and the over-the-ear cups block most of the sound out -- and -- they're comfortable. ... "
" ... The detachable cord makes this a very good fit for the HTC Vive, which has a female 3.5mm port attached to a 1ft cord on the headset itself. ... "
" ... I really like the detachable cable along with the fact that 2 different length cables were included with the package. ... The short cable option for the Superlux is a welcome change ... "
" ... Love the long cable. ... "
" ... Mid to high clarity is solid and detachable cables are always a plus in this price range. ... "
" ... If I could make them larger, 5 stars easy (price, sound, detachable cord, looks) but sadly, 4 will have to do. ... "

" ... The sound quality is great and after burning them in, they produce a very balanced frequency range, almost flat. ... I personally like to add a bit more treble via equalizer for that extra clarity but that is my personal preference. ... "
" ... Treble eeks toward the silibant side of things, but thankfully feels detailed and crisp instead of harsh and chaotic. ... "
" ... Mids: distant, not upfront, but are revealing. ... Highs: bright, sharp and overdone unless a good headphone amp is used. ... "
" ... I find that the cans could use a small EQ tweak at the top end of -2dB, which seems to just smooth out the sound signature. ... I noticed little change to the sound signature, just a minor reduction in the bass, but perfectly clear highs and mids. ... "
" ... Hi range contrary to some is not piercing nor exaggerated is just slightly above the mids ... "
" ... The build quality is strong and the sound profile is rellatively flat with slightly higher mids and highs. ... "
" ... HM5 earpads and added felt will fix bass and treble ... "
" ... The reason why this is 4 stars is they are treble cannons. ... "

" ... they fit well over my head and are adjustable. ... "
" ... The head pads are a neat idea and apply just the right pressure to keep the headphones perfectly positioned on my head without needing any adjustment. ... "
" ... So their solution is coming out with a new product that fits HD668B perfectly. ... "
" ... I put them on my head, and surprisingly, they are very comfortable, with just a slit head clamping, but a very secure fit. ... "
" ... They sound amazing but clamp my head a bit tight . ... "
" ... I just stretched them out a couple of tugs and now they fit perfectly. ... "
" ... The fit is very similar, however the clarity on the high end is crystal compared to a more natural flat sound from the AKG. ... "
" ... I like the sound immensely, but the fit could be a bit better. ... "

" ... Looks: These aren't going to win any beauty pageants, but they look like old skool, serious headphones which I actually kind of appreciate. ... "
" ... they feel cheap but don't sound cheap and i love that ... "
" ... Look lets be honest when you spend under 40 bucks for a set of headphones how good can they be? ... "
" ... The headband, although goofy looking, feels very nice on top of my head. ... Terminations look very nicely done. ... "
" ... They look great. ... "
" ... The closed design is nice. ... "
