Superlux HD-330

Another great superlux headphone... (MORE FUN THEN MY 685'S)

Pro's- Sound is warm and airy and lows are perfect not too much or too little... But after breaking in.... the mids seem to have opened up and are a lot louder and the bass isnt as woolly its a lot more punchy the highs are well reproduced and are not piercing/not fun to listen to Unlike the stock 681's and others... these headphones make me wow at the sound... for this price.. they are a steal. These cans are pretty comfortable some re... Show Moreviews said the stock ear pads are quite stiff but i have found them to be fine and i can wear these headphones for hours with no problem they can adjust a lot and fit on my big head fine... lol The headband can be feel a bit hard/presses down a lot but other then that they are fine for me. Cons- Cable claims to be a 3m curly cable but is hard to stretch so i just used an extension... You could rewire them but i dont see the point..... .Also dont buy if you dont have a pre amp as they will be pretty quite... i have them pre amped with my ASUS dgx soundcard and they sound amazing... best superlux headphones i have heard they are a lot clearer then the superlux 681 evo and sound more balanced then the superlux 685's... (one of my favourite headphones..) in this price range.. Even my brother who swears by his headphones listened to them and asked me to order him a pair... he was wowed by them. Also id like to thank thomann.de for the quick delivery and great product can't wait to order something again!Show Less

Probably one of the best headphones for the price!

I had no idea how good these headphones would sound until I got them. These are good for just listening music as well as mixing. The highs and lows are well balanced between the mids which means they sound really clear and high end details don't get lost with the bass. As for design and quality. They are clearly designed to look like Beyerdynamics DT 770 but are semi-open which I do personally prefer. They are pretty comfortable but my head/... Show Moreears get a bit tired of them after many hours of use. As I've read the stock pads can be replaced with Beyerdynamics velour pads for more comfort and even better sound. Build quality can't really be better for the price. They are not the prettiest headphones and I would't go out for a walk with them as it would look funny but they are clearly not meant for that anyways. They come with a 3.5mm stereo jack cable and screw-on 6.3mm adapter which is handy. The cable itself could be a little bit longer and less stiff but you can buy headphone extension cable so that's not really an issue. Overall, I really do recommend these! For me, unbeatable quality and price balance. You have really hard time finding better sounding headphones in this price range!Show Less

Quality of build and sound but some cut corners

The HD-330's sound incredible. Deep bass and clear treble without overwhelming the mids but not without some sibilance. I recommend placing 2 sheets of toilet paper in front of the diaphragm, under the foam. This will tame the treble if the sibilance is too much for you. The semi open design confines them to home usage and the sound leaks out quite a bit but it offers a wide soundstage that you will only find in much more expensive headphones. Be... Show More careful when choosing these : their high impedance can make them sound terrible on some devices such as laptops or phones. The build quality is great. The plastic feels solid and the headband is made of metal all the way through so you can bend it as much as you want to adjust the clamp. Looks wise it shares some design elements with beyerdynamic headsets but this particular model still looks quite unique. It is however compatible with beyerdynamic parts. It sports a very professional look and the blue accents make it look quite nice in real life. The only downside are the pads which should be replaced with AKG 240 Pleather pads for comfort and sound quality.Show Less

Oh my...

For this price range I get the sound I like during my pretentious, high fidelity, music listening hours, such as motörhead. I like the sound, they seem durable, don't hurt my ears (yea, my ears are weird and sensible, love them tho), and they fit my head quite nicely. But I won't lie these tiny exposed cables look veeeery sensitive. I wish the cable with the stereo jack was a little longer but you can easily get an extended one. Even tho... Show More the plastic box looks cheap it is useful to carry your 'phones in a bag without worrying something will happen. Also, you can carry other fragile stuff in it. Yes I do recommend these headphones for music appreciation (in my case röck and metal), they are work fine for gaming. P.S. Do I have to point the price for these things? You really have to do an overkill job to beat these within that price range.Show Less

Nice open headphones, neutral sound

Use I use them to lisen music from various sources: hi fi amp, usb soundcard, laptop. For portable equipment (phone, player) impedance can be very high, thuis means the sound level can be not enough (150 Ohm).

With this headphone you can spent many hours listening to the music. Cons: short cable. But this can be solved with extension cable 3-5 meters long.Show Less

Good for the price, comparable to headphones 3x the price.

I have been using this for more than a year. Compared to ATH M50, the mids are more recessed in these, highs are a bit harsh. Bass is good and controlled. Very good for the price though, would recommend. The cable is coiled and depends on your usage scenario, it could be annoying. Pros: Price. Sound is incredibly good, competes against much more expensive headphones. Good for modding (detachable cables, very easy to do) Cons: Coiled cable is annoying for me personally.

First Experience

At the begging, I was a little bit scared because I've never bought anything from that brand But like my friend says "Risk it for the bisquit" And now, I know it was definitely worth it to buy them. They're comfy as bed in 5 stars hotel Quality of sound is just amazing, I can hear every little noise. And in overall they're high quality headphones, for amazing price. If you are looking for good headphones, don't even consider, just get them.

Great sounding headphones

I use these headphones for mixing music on the go and also listening to music casually. The sound of these headphones is fantastic. They are great value for money. Wearing them for a long period of time can start to irritate the ears/head. Also the cable is quite short on can only just reach my pocket if I have my phone in my pocket. Overall these are a great pair of budget headphones and I would definitely recommend these headphones to anyone.

Nice headphones.

For the price you pay for them it is a very good choice. The cans are sitting well on your head. I could use the headphones for 2 hours without getting uncomfortable. The high frequencies are clear and do not "cut" your hearing. The bass sounds solid. So if you are a keyboard player who splits the keyboard to play piano and bass the headphones are a good choice. The only minus is a spiral cable. It is a bit short.

Great headphone for a small budget

I bought this headphone because of the great reviews... And they where totaly right! It is a great headphone for this price. But the ear pads are pretty bad. Buy some Beyerdynamic ear pads for the DT 770 and you get a pretty awesome headphone for just under 50¤. They play also great with the Custom One Pro synthetic lether ear pads!

Good Value, Imperfect Finish

Excellent sound quality with great LF extension. Natural character. HF might be a little excessive for some people. (I have no means of making an accurate, scientific frequency response measurement - but these are my perceptions.) I would have given five stars, had it not been for the blemish/scuff mark on the black metal grille.

Very decent headphones for the price

Bought these in end of 2014, and the left speaker died on me just now, so they lasted around 4 years. I had the Beyerdynamics DT-770 earpads for these which I highly recommend. The sound quality is superb. The comfort is OK, they clamp a lot which takes time to get used to. It gets better though over time.

I use this headphones last 3 years for my exersises at home and with Fender Mustang III V2, and with Phil Pro from Chine, and with Akai Wolf drum/bass directly, and with tube sound card - mini amplifier as and with First One keyboard directly (without ext. amplifier). I can't say nothing bad - only good

One of best budget headphones

Those Superlux have one of, if not the best, drivers in budget headphones. They are 150 Ohm so they need some power to work properly. Comfort out of the box is not fantastic but I highly recommend adding Beyerdynamic velor pads. They fit like a glove and improve comfort as well as sound quality.

SOUND FANTASTIC

really great sound for this price, build quality seems sturdy, the coiled cable is somewhat annoying, but I am strecthing it a little, I use it with Mackie Onyx Blackjack interface, really impressed, especially at this price point. co;es in a plastic box also.

Decent headphones but they are quite bassy. I like its brother more, the HD-660, It sounds more airy and balanced to me even though it's closed. A pro for me for the HD-330 is that you can still hear your surroundings a bit because of its open back.

Great headphones, very comfortable good sound. Just a bit bulky!

I listen to a lot of music with those headphones. There's really nothing wrong with them, the comfort is great, so's the sound.
