Reddit mentions of Superlux HD669 Closed Back Studio Headphones

It's a shame really. I'd save up a little bit say around 150$ then you get alot more options. The suggestions I give you depend alot on where you live and whether you want to go used or not.

Shure 840's. They dip in and out of around of 100$ (EU) but are one of the few items that are actually cheaper in EU despite being an american company ?
If you don't want to buy secondhand it's little brother the 440's are probably worthwhile as well.

Takstar Pro82 Though no perfect isolation, great comfort and a bass slider.

HiFiMAN Edition S Somewhat over your budget and isolation is not perfect but it does double duty as both open and closed back. Great for travelling.


Status Audio CB-1, you mentioned yourself.

Or if you really want it cheap and don't care about getting seen with them. Superlux HD662 or Superlux hd669 The latter always go in and out of stock at Amazon, if you live in EU Thomann always has them.

Monoprice Retro's if Amazon doesn't have them in stock check with monoprice.com, currently they're both out of stock.
Like the Superlux' cans, something for home use only.

Senheiser 598 cs don't know how long this offer will last.

1MORE H1707 chi-fi but I own this pair and they're great for on the go although they leak just a little bit if you turn up the volume.

If you can stretch the budget to $75, you might choose:

• Superlux 669
  
  or better:
  
  
• Creative Aurvana
