I have had the HD668B and they were pretty great for the price.

I would get the Beyerdynamic DTX 910 instead:

 

https://www.amazon.com/Beyerdynamic-Stereo-Headphones-Portable-Silver/dp/B0032EQRR6/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1479061877&sr=8-12&keywords=beyerdynamic

 

I bought the Superlux HD681 a while back because of all the hype and I hated them so much that I threw them in the trash.

 

- The bass is phenomenal. Just like a subwoofer for your ears, and it's clean.

- The ergonomics are awful. The self-adjusting headband is too tight and makes the earcups pull my ears up. My ear-lobes were hurting after an hour. The earcups don't go around my ears, but pinch the extremities of my ear instead. This results in acute pain at the top of my ear and the ear-lobes. 

- The treble is so awful. Picture nails on a chalk board. I think I got permanent hearing damage from this headphone. Shrieking, ear-bleeding highs! No reviewer online seemed to have this problem. I picture every self-proclaimed audiophile as being middle-aged men suffering from hearing-loss. So boosted treble is a much desirable feature in a headphone because they they can finally hear it. It's just bad news for the young folks out there who want a good headphone on a low budget like myself. 

 

I bought the Superlux HD681 EVO later. 

 

- The ergonomics are just as awful, unless your head is the shape and size of a grapefruit and you have ears like Shrek. 

- The treble has been slain victoriously. It's now completely drowned in the bleeding bass. 

- The headphone sounds kinda murky, which is fine on electronic music and metal. But I think you can do better for the price. 

 

The Beyerdynamic would be my choice because it doesn't come with a stupid self-adjusting medieval torture device for your head. It comes with a proper headband. And the sound is somewhat neutral and inoffensive. It's fine.

Yeah I would also go with the DTX 910s. 

Oh also yeah the other Superlux headphones have some pretty painful treble, but the HD668Bs are better with this though, but I would still recoment the 910s over them.
