ermmmm so from I heard the headphone is even better the MS1 itself =/

I wish I could go there and buy one for myself.Let's see if there's KL friend that can buy it for me

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.

good luck on bringing those from KL to Melaka D:

One of those Malaka friends that Bonchi talking about is me.Thanks bonchi for buying it for me.Can't get it without you man.

So anyway we'll try to compare every headphone that we have around from our audiophile circle and we post the result here afterwards.Cool?

So I opened the box,impressed with what it have inside.It's a pleasant surprise that they include a carrying pouch with it so that you can carry the headphone everywhere easily.Honestly for the price given I didn't expect it to give any extra stuff other then the headphone alone.The headphones comes with two cables with different length (1m and 3m each) since the headphone can be detachable from it's cable,convenient really.It's pretty useful if you're into certain occasion where you need either the long cable or the short ones for your listening pleasure.The cable clip has been given to prevent the cable to be detached from your headphone easily.Kinda neat but I didn't bother to put it on since the attachment from the headphone and the cable is pretty strong to me so far.Last and not least a 3.5mm to 6.3mm converter and a B&O manual book which is thick,containing about what stuff they provided inside the box and some instruction on how to wear the headphones,etc.





The first thing I do on this headphone is removing the foam that covers the driver completely.Yeah as said by others it is thick and probably by using it probably most of the small detail of the song will be damped into the foam itself,making the overall sound quality to be decreased by miles.Also I'm kinda wondered why the hell they put the sticker at the drivers as well.Removed that afterwards and yeah now I got a clear view on how's the driver looks like inside.It's looks similar to KSC75 driver but it's bigger by comparison.Oh well when everything settles I plugged it in with my newly brought Maverick Audio TubeMagic D1.Already burning in since last week and it shows impressive result on my beyer dt770.Clicked the play button on my foobar and oh my god it sounds better then my SR60.I shit bricks afterwards




To my surprise,this is the first sub-RM500 headphone that can beat alessandro MS1 in large margin.Better separation,better clarity,punchier yet still controlled bass and better,wider soundstage has been showed to me.It still lose comparing to beyerdynamic DT440 though since the beyer has more advantage on soundstage. The mids is far smoother then the beyer DT440 which is great considering the fact that harsher mids brings more simbilance on vocal songs.I'm kinda stunned for a short time after all this though.Great headphone with ripped off price.That's something you don't see everyday lol.





The 3.5mm to 6.3mm converter plays a huge roll here though.I used the Audio Technica AT501CS converter plug and the results are the ones that I mentioned earlier.Changing it with the ones that I brought from Jaben Malaysia (RM10 each) and I notice that the sound signature has been changed somewhat;The mids becomes harsher,sound separation has become more clearer then ever.Changing it with the stock ones that comes with the superlux headphone will give you more boomy bass,causing me to have a slight headache after a few minutes wearing it.

Changing the stock with canare cables helps as well.In unamp condition it give 70% sound quality as the ones with proper amplification but using the stock cables alone.Can't imagine what will happen if I use the canare cable with Maverick D1 attached to it though,but then again the cable is not mine to begin with so I can't test further for more precise impression regarding it.

Honestly this is the best cheap headphone that I ever tried after the philips SHP805 which I brought 2 years ago.Still waiting for my review?Just buy the god damn headphone before the price hike happen.

Added the pics and most importantly,the name of the topic itself on my previous post

After 20 hours of burning in the headphone,I decided that it's time for me to put it to the test : How it sounds like in unamp condition?

It's a well known claim for most superlux HD668B users is that although the headphone only has the impedance of 56 ohm each of it's drivers,it's still requires an amp to drive it very well.For me I expect it to produce lesser bass while the separation of the sound is getting harder to notice.I plugged in the headphone into my good'ol soundcard : EMU 0404 and after a few configuration I started playing one song from foobar2k.I was amazed once more.

It doesn't sound as bad I thought it would be.The bass has become lesser yes but the separation between sounds can be noticed quite well.The treble has become slightly harsher and the soundstage,doesn't change at all even one bit.I'm quite happy with the performance of this headphone right now.It sounds really well in both condition (properly amp and unamp condition).So now I don't have to worry about bringing this headphone everywhere to spread the poison around my friends without any amp at all!

Harsh?Well not that harsh perhaps on my Maverick D1.Even my beyer dt770 that is very harsh on high pitch got tamed down by it

Rm130 only applies when you brought in 3 units straight.Rm180 each if you're buying only 1.

So try ask to ask your non-audiophile friends to join in to get cheaper price (the more the better)

You have to buy for him no matter what.Who wanna pay Rm180 anyway lol

On unrelated note,seems like I manage to poison everywhere around me with the superlux alone.Didn't surprise me then when the headphones got out of stock so quick later on.

So I plugged it into an onboard soundcard.It doesn't sound any good at all.

Even my good'ol philips SHP805 sounds better in that condition.So after couple of minutes I swapped it with Pcwork's recabled KSC75.Feels better again once more

Do some impression article la later jazzy.Probably gonna buy HD681 as well soon

HD381 is the good model ones huh?Perhaps buying both will be better lol

ermm HD381F sounds really good from the reviews.But the price is around Rm120 right if I'm not mistaken here?

Eh you're the one is the most suitable to buy it since you can compare them one by one lo

you mean 3 IEMS pack for RM200?Oh god the temptation is killing me


B22?

Well just pray that those IEMs will not out of stock so soon.Even the HD668B is gone as well and it takes months to get it again once more

It's out of stock currently in Jalan Pasar now.Have to wait for at least another 1-2 months for another stock to arrive

There's a stock for any of superlux products except for that HD668B in Jalan Pasar right now so yeah

Unfortunely I didn't know much about the price for particular model (just straight get the HD668B without asking much about any products there LOL)

But the HD668B will cost you back Rm180.Expect it to cost more then Rm200 for that headphone I think

cannot do much ma I also want it lo

don't worry if got stock I try to get another 1-2 units there just to make sure you guys got it later on through me (just pay the shipping fees only)
