i can say yes to that. the 681 has 'boomer' bass and suitable for rock if i may say. but 668b is more pleasure becuz its offer more balanced hearing and give more details on the sound. and i have both of them and preffered 668b. i got the 681 for my N8 and travelling purpose~

niceeeeee. thanks for the pointers!

@rifasha
Which cable did you pick for your headphones?

nice combo~
nice review~

still a superlux virgin tho' *as in never heard one yet ..

thanks for the review rifasha!

The bass is tight and nice just that not BOOM BOOM BOOM type. And yea with an amp, your setup would be damn nice since it's true potential will shine after properly drive 668b.

Ever thought of changing that short length of cable that coming out of the headphone? I am sure it is hiding the full potential of your new cable.

im using this cable




Belden 1583E Cat5E UTP Grey Sheath + neurik connectors

wat were the changes with the new cable?

that cable also can change? the one sticking out from the headphone?

more added 'bump' and crystal clear sound. to my experience, it best suited for movies. every sound details came out.

rifasha,
if i run the HD668B on iphone without the sound card then the sound quality will drop alot?

just custom cables + the headphone itself, how good will it be without the sound card?

Agree +1.
Owned both 681 and 668b and yes they are all like what you have written.

hey pmed you regarding this and various things that you asked me

It sounds good out of box. Just that it is even better if you have a good setup. My fren have no problem enjoying it to the last bits listening to it thru his macbook built in a.chip and his iphone. Just that it would be nice if you drive it properly with an amp

i am not really sure about that. but i believe it wont drop much and u can still enjoy the cool headphone. its just these custom cable and the dac are meant to bring the potential and sound a bit more further. (as i experience with my N8)..and im not sure about attaching the mini dac to iphone will work or not, may want to ask chchyong89 for more info on the DAC.

hi trio,

300RM,

i plan to get headphone/earphone + amp + cable

A hippo amp would cost RM300 from Jaben.
Are you saying you'd like an amp, a cable and headphone/earphone, all for RM300?
