yeah it did, because when i browse through the previous pages there are several users stated that Superlux is quite hard to find here as no official distributors (i don't know if Jaben Malaysia carry it now or not).

which superlux headphone doesnt need an amp to sound good for rock and metal song?

I am using the HD681 without any amping. Works great with my lappy, iPods, PCDP and MiniDiscs player.

how do u find the sq from it? it needs high power for the volume?

Before running in, midrange and highs are very much forward and harsh.
Once done, terribly great on vocals and depending on source and mixing can be too forward with still slight harshness on highs. Can be tame with little adjustments to your likings with tone or equilizer controls.(thats what they are for!)
Easy to drive hence no amping for my usage.

wow,sounds great
how about the performance on the lows?are they acceptable?

btw thx for your response

Yeap jazzy939 got it spot on. 681 will perform better in low department better than 668b as it got more oomph. But nevertheless both have tight bass.

All superlux headphones sounds great out of box. Harshness will slowly fades away as you burn in. Thru proper setup and amp, greater potential can be brought out of these babies

This is where Superlux shines, the bass department!
I am a basshead, the low end performance is more than acceptable. They're impressive in terms of 'tight' and well controlled bass, as per trio posting
The harshness will surface now and then but that's because the poor source equalization, not Superlux fault

Amping will boost this great sounding Superlux to a higher level on a slight laid back and warm amp. The LittleDot tube headamp came to mind which I used to have to drive my Senn(HD201). Too bad I don't have it anymore..

Added on January 23, 2011, 8:44 pmHD681 and 668B sounds quite similar for me. But Those who like more gentle and relaxing sound should go with 668B as HD681 seems to be the aggresive version of 668B. Now stick to my 668B.

They're both similar. The only thing that I dislike about 668B is that it's frequency response is kinda 'flat', therefore music seems to lost the 'shine' and sounded a little dull. Can sound recessed at times. Any good beefy headamp might restore the (my) preferred sound.

noted!

Yeap it is coz it is monitoring. But configuring eq should solve this.

Despite gumstick with class a amp, I thought I going to get s:flo2 wolfson goodness XD

681

ugpm bro...


thanks for all the reply

come come join us
really worth every $ i paid for

Jazzy is a bass head. Even with 668B's lesser bass, I still mod it to reduce the bass. Hah hah!

Now that I have the 660, I find it just a wee bit smoother (and obviously more bass) than 668B. Did you come to the same conclusion, Trio?

just ordered a 681 from trio
