Hey everyone! So I've been eyeing both of these headsets for a while but I can't find any reviews comparing them so I came here. Which is the better overall headset? Which also has better comfort and sound quality?

Thanks for the answers!

I recommend looking at the Superlux HD681 EVO instead of the HD668B because they are a newer model to their older brothers, and its a tad bit more expensive than the HD688B by $2 (£1,50 more if you're around the UK)

As for which is better I'd say compare the audio specs between to two and read reviews that cater to just one product. Such as if someone said "Oh this headphone has too much treble" on one product and another review discussing another product saying "The headphone leak too much audio for my taste". Stuff like that, hope I didn't lose you. 

If that didn't help you then if I were a betting man I'd pick Superlux because of the handy feature with their cord not being able to break off due to you stepping on the cord or what not.

You didn't lose me. I know quite a bit about headphones and such. I'll check out the  HD 681 EVO. I mostly wanted someone who owns both headphones to compare them, but I guess I'll just have to compare specs. 

Thanks for the reply! I really appreciate it! :D

No problem :) Glad I can help! :D

*** I'd like to add in, these headphones will be brought places a lot (road trips, when riding my bike, walking, etc) so I also need to know which would be more durable***

(fyi old account but finally got access to it again)

I've had my EVO's for a good couple of weeks so far and I can say that they have been pretty sturdy for me, having went on a roadtrip with these yet but I do travel with them. The only thing you need to worry about the EVO's is cleaning them if you choose to use the velvet cushions they included.
