in my opinion, the bass is okay but it can be much better with the usb dac. if u r looking for a good headphone but with a low budget, u shud consider taking cuz i am very satisfied (but our interest might be differ) smile.gif

*its neurik jacks and the Superlux jack is gold plated.  smile.gif

hd668b is a power hungry headphone..need amp with big current

if you still don't have the money to buy amp, at least give them a try in jaben or from other forumer..try to pair it with linearossa K3, ibasso toucan, pico amp, indeed amp, etc. just so you know the true potential of your headphone smile.gif

personally, i prefer hd668B recabled + indeed amp than grado sr225i

Maybe I should offer a service to recable 668B & 681 to dual entry. brows.gif
It should be slightly better than a simple cable change.

yeah, dual entry cable would be good..but it will requires the owner to send the headphone to the DIYer, plus the warranty will void tongue.gif . but it's not always the case, my dt250 do not benefit from splitting the cable like that..because it already has separated channel for left and right ground cable wink.gif

Smth that is not available here XD

But so far the costliest headphone i can get is HD330. Wanted to try 669 though but expensive to get as single unit tongue.gif

669 has better detail than hd668b. good isolation too..

but some might find it a little bit too bright

I am curious how does the 668B matches up to Sub RM300 Headphones such as Shura SRH440 or the Grado SR60i, after seeing MANY good reviews about the performance per value of it.

i have compared HD668B with Grado SR225i. connected to Teclast T51>Line out>DIY Interconnect>Indeed Amp>headphone

hd668B has better bass depth, treble, and soundstage. details are also better in HD668B. sr225i can produce nice, punchy mid bass but lacks on the deepest bass, it has tail..while hd668B can punch you really hard on the bottom given sufficient amplification.all i can say is i prefer HD668B to SR225i anytime of the day!

please note that this comparison is done using high power amplifier, if the comparison is done by not using amp or insufficient amplification, sr225i is the winner..
