Just picked up a pair of Superlux HD668B, in near mint condition for 20 quid. Plugged them straight into my macmini, played some YouTube material and OMG these cans are good - just stupid, stupid value for money. I wouldn't have been disappointed had I paid 50 or more! I wish I hadn't already got more pairs of headphones than I need; those sound interesting, Jules, especially as they're described as "entry level studio monitors" I believe. There is a "new/other" pair going for £29.99 on eBay that I would have probably snapped up. If I hadn't bought that Klipsch pair...

Go for it, Paul, you know you want to At the moment I'm more tempted by the Sennheiser HD 448s that are going for a tenner. They need new ear pads, but... No! Must wear boxing gloves when looking at eBay!

My HD668Bs are the only phones I need, but they're really nice when I do use them. I upgraded them with the velour pads mentioned in the thread for them in the headphones section.

Sometimes in the study plugged into my old Caiman, sometimes in the bedroom plugged into my second Pi with IQAudIO DAC.

These Superlux are a steal. The more I listen the more I like, and I haven't really fed them a reallly top quality source yet. Thanks again to MartinT for the tip. Looking forward to getting the velour ear pads. They are a potential health hazard for me though as they really tempt me to crank the volume when rocking out ...

Glad you like them, Jules. At the price they're a no-brainer.

I've got an SMSL M3 DAC / headphone amp on the way - got one for a great price on ebay. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow or Saturday.

I'm sure several of us will be waiting with bated breath to see if it joins the SMSL 'roll of honour,' Jules.

The M3 has just landed. And most conveniently an optical cable arrived at the same time, so hope to have a first listen later today.

A few unboxing shots. Comes in a very neat package with foam lined box, very snug fit. This gives you an idea of how small it is ... Inside there are a couple of USB cables (it is powered by USB) and a headphone adapter ...
