Not only nice but based on the reviews in head-fi, I'd say they're 'bang-per buck' item. Now how would I justify another headphone on top of my current two headphones and three earphones... tongue.gif

When you're reading the reviews, check the reviewers' credibility as well. Creative ep630 sounds similar to Senn IE8 smile.gif

Oh yeah, baybeh!
Superlux 668B in da house!

Attached Image

Not very comfortable at first. So I rolled some tissue paper and insert it in between the pads and the cups, and it's much better. A Head-fier dude claims that this increases bass or whatever-the-heck which I couldn't be bothered with.

Burn-in til now approx 10-20 hours.
I let my friend who owns an IE8 to test it out. He mentioned that the separation is very good. I agree after listening to Andy McKee-Art of Motion and Kings of Convenience-Mrs Cold: both of which has multiple guitars being finger plucked.

I've never heard any headphones beyond RM30 crap from Lowyat Plaza, so I'm in no position to say how good it is. As far as I'm concerned, it's got good clarity and more detail than Sony NC22 IEM (the NC22 is already a pretty good IEM, IMO). Low bass still sounds a tiny bit boomy for my liking.

For RM130 (after nego with the sales staff), you can't go wrong with it. Apparently it's not a popular model in Instraco, because the salesperson took a quite bit of time digging through the inventory to locate it.

Maybe I should replace Superlux logo with AKG & bring it to Jaben gathering, and see what the big-shots think of it. biggrin.gif

Now, time to build a CMOY to go with it. w00t!

Quite a few dudes have asked me where I bought Superlux headphones in KL. Jazzy939 mentioned the name of the shop in another thread. I'll repeat them here:

Shop name: INSTRACO
Location: 115 Jalan Pasar, 55100 KL. Near Esso station, towards Jalan Tun Razak end. Tel 03-92218327
Listed price: RM180
What I paid: RM130 (nego with the sales staff)


Added on August 9, 2010, 1:41 pmP.S. Jazzy, for RM130... you can't be wrong! GO GO GO! If you guys buy in bulk, maybe even cheaper.
They are not 'best bang per buck'; they are ' best KABOOM! per buck'.

Mods available to stretch the RM130 further:

Tissue mod (Timar from Head-fi) for comfort (and slight bass improvement):
http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/485039...15#post_6686675

Earfonia Foam removal mod (Audiophile-Indonesia forum):
Remove the foam covering the driver to increase aggressiveness & detail. I have no idea what that dude is saying most of the time.

Heliharris mod (Rockgrotto forum)---aluminium ring and end cap mod for HD681. I guess it would work for 668B too.
http://rockgrotto.proboards.com/index.cgi?...iew&thread=5378
http://rockgrotto.proboards.com/index.cgi?...4559&post=57092

PinkFloyd's 4 Pence mod (variations: 4 Euro mod, RM0.40 sen mod, SGD 1 dollar mod). For "sweeter highs and have others have said, more air around instruments. Bass seems a litte tighter [...]"
http://rockgrotto.proboards.com/index.cgi?...4769&post=59472
I just used a knife tip to pop off the Superlux logo cap, applied some paper glue onto a 20 sen coin (I don't want to make it permanent yet), stick it onto the end cap with a tape over it to prevent it from falling out. Perhaps slightly less boomy bass, I guess.

Clausdk fish tank filter wool mod For crazy details in HD681. I will try later with cotton or whatever I can find at home.

Saya juga baru dikasih sama bro Hanhan, buat di mod Thanks a lot bro Hanhan!

Udah burn-in kira2 30 jam gitu, suaranya enggak banyak beda before and after burn-in, cuma sedikit lebih balance aja.

Overall suaranya smooth, enggak kasar. Ada sedikit warna headphone high-end, tapi sedikit doang ya Buat saya, agak kurang balance suaranya, seperti big hump di daerah mid, terus treblenya agak rolled of, kurang flat. Bass juga kurang tight rasanya. Dan detail juga biasa aja, menurut saya agak kurang detailnya.

Dari awal saya berasa ada something wrong sama suara treblenya, seperti agak ke redam gitu, decaynya terlalu cepat, kurang natural.

Saya coba buka lapisan busa tipis di depan driver, itu yang di tengah2 ear-cup yang melindungi driver dari debu dan keringat. Wah improvementnya lumayan lho Treblenya terdengar lebih 'cring2' dan lebih natural

Ini modifikasi paling gampang buat HD668B, buka earpadnya, ambil busa tipis pelindung driver, pasang lagi earpadnya. Treblenya improved

Kalau diperhatikan, lapisan busa tipis ini terlalu tebal dan rapat, coba aja hadapin ke lampu, cuma sedikit cahaya yang tembus Pantesan treblenya banyak keserap / atau ke diffused di lapisan foam ini.


After 30 hours,there's a difference in before and after burn-in.It's more balanced now.

Overall the sound is smooth now.However I noticed that there's a bit coloration that you usually found on high-end headphones.Personally speaking the headphone still not balanced to me yet.The mids for it is not that flat either and the bass is not as tight as I expected it to me.The sound detail produced is not that much really as well.

From the beginning I noticed that there's something wrong with it's treble,the sound decay to fast which is not natural at all to me.

So I try to open the foam which being covered in front of the driver itself.It was to protect the driver from dust and sweat.To my surprise the treble is much more refined and more natural then before.

This is the best modification that I ever tried on HD668B.What you need to do is just open the foam that protect the driver,put the earpads back and you'll hear the improvement on treble afterwards.

If you see this closely the foam that was being used is too thick really.Go try and see if there's any sunlight going though the foam itself,you'll notice that there's only a little sunlight managed to go though it in the end.From this you know that most of the treble has been diffused into this foam.

I was contemplating to get one too but heck, few days ago tested out a Sennheiser(an expensive model) and gosh, I could not forget the sound esp. the bass.. now I could not get that Sennheiser out of my mind! doh.gif
