The pads should turn up somewhere close to you eventually, and then you can get them.

Hmm good to know about the k142. I agree, $57 is toooo much just for some ear pads. I'll consider just the HD668 but my experience with that style ear pad has been pretty negative so far...

I don't know about them showing up close to me but I may try some specialty shops in the area sometime! Thanks for the info.

Thanks so much for the info, good to know that those also will fit the superlux. Also using the 668's? They do look a bit softer than the stock ones...

Interesting, I've heard the same about 668 build quality but at 50 USD it is usually overlooked. Does seem that 668 usually scores higher in sound quality though. Plus, I think they'd be pretty sweet looking not to mention comfortable with the velour ear pads ;)

The sound that these superlux produce is great, so much that I don't even mind the stiff pads. yes, they are that good.

My review about the Superlux Cans after a year with them... on /stock mode

Funny ppl make funny coments at the end of review lol :)

Out of the box my Superlux HD668B Dynamic Semi-Open Headphones seemed to have a good range of  frequencies, but the balance between and among them sounded all out wack when plugged into my Yamaha receiver--using either HD radio or CDs.

I sat them aside for 5 to 6 days of burn in and then paired with my little (and still not fully burned in itself) HiFiMan EF2A amp.  They sound great in all respects and have a decent sound stage.  They clearly exhibit sound quality for music that I would expect from a quality $100 to $150 can.

The build quality seems to be in the same class as that of my (also) China made AKG K 240 Studio which currently goes for $90 to $100.

While not a big price drop the Superlux HD668B Dynamic Semi-Open Headphones is now priced at Amazon a shade below $50--shipped.
