Superlux HD-330 Pro 150 Ohms

The sound is more expensive than it actually is
I feel like I'm wearing headphones that cost 3 times more. I compared them with models from another brand that is an order of magnitude more expensive, but these headphones seemed to me to be both more comfortable and of better quality in terms of sound! I recommend it to everyone, it's a very small price to pay for great sound. Regarding convenience, I can sit for 4 hours and not notice that they are on me. My head and ears don't hurt. In terms of sound purity, as I understand it, there are no impurities or coloration of the sound, the sound is clean, honest, monitor

Having previously had HD660 Pro I bought 330s for casual listening - semi-open give me less pressure strain and I enjoy being able to hear my surroundings better when someone wants to talk to me.

Sound is good. At first, I wanted to say they don't sound nearly as good as HD660 Pro, but they are just different. I'd say 660s sound great with rock/metal since they have more kick to them and the bass is obviously better, 330s work well with pop/folk where the voice feels more natural. But overall I feel like it's a matter of ears getting used to them cause the base is pretty good for both. At their price point they sound well.

Surprisingly, despite both 330 and 660 having the same exact construction (side for the mesh/panel, of course), the 330s seem to have sort of weirdly shaped pads, left top and right bottom are bent in, which makes them less comfortable. I feel like they'll set in soon, they're getting better, but still... Then, the right-side height control is squeaky. Not sure if it's a manufacturing issue (original gloss foil was in place and everything seemed to be packed as original) or B-stock sold as A-stock (there was some minor box damage). Neither 32Ω nor 150Ω versions of HD660 Pro I had were affected in this way.

The inspiration behind the design is very clear. These inexpensive headphones have me purring about them though. You get what you pay for blah blah blah. Very true of course. These are very decent for the price.

Build quality is good, maybe not super robust but with care I expect them to be a great portable option for day-to-day use on the move. You know - the mixing we're always doing on the fly, in the car, in the classroom, at the bus stop.

The comfort is excellent—no problems wearing them for extended periods (with appropriate breaks of course). The cup size is perfect and the velour pads are very plush.

The sound is very clean and bright but detailed at the high end. Bass response is fine, you might want more but I find them very revealing. A little harsh in the upper mid frequencies.

Overall, you'd be hard-pressed to find better value.
