Hi..i just want to share my review on this said items that i bought from the LYN forumers. i am a newbie in this audiophile thingy and i hope that this experience will help those who are a newbie and others who want to acquire the items or services provided in the Trade Zones.

Firstly i am looking for a new headphone to replace my old Phillips hp and i want a good headphone but cannot afford a hi-end products and i looked around in the trade zone and found this Superlux Bulk Thread . This guy offer me a Superlux HD668B + HD681 at that time and i think im gonna try this one since it got some good reviews over the net and i kinda like the design too. So made an order and pay at the same time. Got the items after a few weeks (it was his 1st bulk IINM) and it arrived safely at my office with a neat and secure package. I got home and try it on. This hp really amazes me! it produce a superb clarity and clear instruments sounds that i wished for it to be. Overall it satisfied me after i tried it for musics and movies. But the bass is not up to my satisfaction and i decided to change the cable since it is detachable. In addition, it also producing a great sound pairing it with my Nokia N8~! Thanks for the bulk, trio!

Then i ordered a replacement cable from this thread..i told him that i need a re-cable for my Superlux and he is happy to made it for me since i am his 1st Superlux customer. After the cable arrives, immediately i change it with the stock cable and the quality is doubled and i very satisfied with the work provided by i_djoel2000. great workmanship and my Superlux is better than ever! it gaves me more punch on the bass and concerts are better this time~

I am very hard to please..so i made 1 last item to complete my satisfaction, from chchyong89..i ordered a mini usb dac PCM2704 from this thread and it arrives within days (but i have to collect it from the PPL since nobody at home at the delivery time). It was wrapped with a bubble wrap so i can assure there is enough protection if opted for postage. this is my utmost grand satisfaction. it is true that dont judge a book by its cover because this PCM2704 is real deal. It is economical yet it so powerful and satisfying indeed. It provide more bass (as it add up to my Edifier C3) and the sound produced is more compact and crystal clear. So, dont judge a dac from its naked body~

with this 3 items combined, i am enjoying my favourite movies, musics and concerts on my PC daily with full satisfactory and affordable budgets. thanks guys~!

Thanks for your kind review. I believe adding an desktop head-amp for this will be more awesome.

However, desktop amp never come in cheap

yeah. i agree with that. i know this combo will be out of my request one day but this is best enough for me at the moment~

nice review, btw, does changing the stock cable for your 668B really helps a lot? you can let me know in pm

You can get the overall total price from the seller's link posted above actually

DAC rm90
668B rm130-170
cables rm60-85

total damage: rm280-350. 20% of the price, 80% of the performance.

As cheap as entry level headphone audiophile can go.

ic, estimated damage 350 =/

TS u listent o wad kind of music there?

its not more than RM3++ but if u include postage, just add some more to it~to me its reasonable and u will be satisfied with the performance~

Added on January 25, 2011, 5:31 pmi love concerts because of the variety instruments and this combo clearly separates voice, instruments and audience. very nice~melting my ears..

*also i listen to variety of musics. and i choose musics over voice, so i tend to opted for the richness of instruments in a song~

Simple yet interesting review. Made me feel like getting a 668b also

hmm. i listen to orkestra, classical chinese instruments, too, but R&B more, how is the bass of this headphone. im considering seriously =p

btw, are ur custom audio jacks gold plated or normal ones? the jack on the headphone itself is not gold plated right?

in my opinion, the bass is okay but it can be much better with the usb dac. if u r looking for a good headphone but with a low budget, u shud consider taking cuz i am very satisfied (but our interest might be differ)

*its neurik jacks and the Superlux jack is gold plated.

naise!! is the bass heavy or mild? scale of 1-10 from weak to strong bass where wouuld u put it?

the bass is not heavy like BOOM BOOM POW. its more mild like BUMP DUM DUM. easy on hearing. (which suited to my preference)


*but if u put on a strong bass song, it will punch more but still easy on ur listening. hope this help. its hard to tell maybe from 6-7 like dat.

if you're more into bass I suggest you try out the Superlux HD681. stronger and more interesting bass than the HD668B and it's cheaper.

how bass is your more into bass? i dun like hard style bass, i like to have bass but not super strong, as long i can feel the existence of the bass

agreed on this. i bought both from trio. interesting pair of Superluxes~

HD668B has bass but clarity on vocals and trebles right?
