That's exactly what the Superlux 668B can give you: crisp clear voices.

For gaming, you might need very wide sound stage (depending on how fussy you are, and what type of games you're playing). Superlux is not too bad in this sense. It will serve you well.

Put too much blu-tac again in my attempt to mod 660. LOL!
Bass is literally zero. Pfffttttt.

And I terputus one of the wires... crap.

No lah, baru started some simple tweaking... tangan gatal mah. I think I hear some reverb, so I thought some heavy handed blu-tac could solve the issue. LOL!
lots of Blu-tac = zero bass... don't try this at home, kids.

Previously I modded 668B... very satisfied with the results. Dah entah berapa bulan dah, I still have not gotten the AKG k240's velour pads.

Oh yeah, 668B is bright indeed... they way I like it. But it is in no way harsh.

And 681 will take some time to burn in (a few hundred hours to tame it down).

Finish burning, then do the Frans Filter mod to reduce the treble if you still find it too bright.

Not the headphone's fault at all. It is just doing its job.
Many Chinese pop songs aren't recorded & mastered with great care, so they sound harsh.

And a lot of those artistes aren't actually that good a singer themselves. What you are hearing is their voice reaching the limits of their capability... especially some of Olivia Ong's songs. OMG! I totally can't even listen to it on 668B---everything is just wrong: sloppy pronunciation, weak voice, fake falsetto on the trebles, and a million other little details that annoy the sweet bejeezus out of me. How is it possible for her to ruin those great songs?

She's damn lucky her bossa nova songs are all superbly arranged and very good songs. Nasib baik I can still put her album on my parent's mediocre home system, where she sounds absolutely fine.

Not PcWork recabled version... sure kenot fight lah. PcWork Recabled KSC75 is damn geng leh. Donch pray-pray...

If anyone can still lurve Oliva after using 668B = deaf; lousy Engrand speaking; never heard a well recorded vocalist before; or hamsap lou.

You guys must try Pop Pop Music's CDs (e.g. Love's Tapestry, 2V1G, jz8, Brasileiro, Pusaka) with Superlux. Their singers & musicians are superb talents recorded with audiophile quality, and mastered by good sound engineers. You will melt in a puddle of eargasm.
Some more help to support local audiophile talents.

That's probably the HD660. 660 is pretty widely used in the recording sector. Not surprising to see shoe string TV crews using HD660 or studios using them.

They are certainly inexpensive...

Pavarotti's first language ain't Engrand... i expect a sporean who can speaks only Engrand to at least sing well in it.

I could do it for you. But I'm swamped with work these few weeks...

Superlux kenot leh... veli the digital sound.
Still lack certain refinement.

*but some already 'bueh syok liao'. Aiyoh... RM150 punyer barang, how to compare to 4-5 hundred or RM1.5k punya gear? Why so sked and closed minded?

(what I meant was: Superlux still lack some refinement that much more expensive earphones have, but why feel threatened? Different stroke for different folk. Different budget, different phones mah.)

Speaking of which... time for some Noryn Aziz eargasm.

Added on March 13, 2011, 11:21 pmSuperlux has been around for many years liao loh. Only recently has the consumer market start to take a notice at it.
They've been manufacturing inexpensive studio/recording mics, monitor speakers, amps, headphones for entah berapa lama dah. They haven't really cared much for the usual consumers... that's why its designs are usually caplang ones... hah hah! (And that's why it's still pretty affordable)

If Superlux made its stuff with as much care and flair as the big brands, we wouldn't be able to buy it at these rock bottom prices anymore.

Not just same driver, the whole thing is the same except for colour and the holes. LOL!

Added on March 15, 2011, 2:00 amNo problem one. Just say it out, as long as you be casual about it (and hopefully the fans remain civil too).
Not everyone here is going to use Superlux forever. I certainly have the intention to upgrade in the future... waiting for money to drop from the sky nia... LOL!

Oh yeah, that's the way yo!!!

Added on March 25, 2011, 9:42 amIf you want a balanced headphone, then get 668B.
If you want something with more 'fun' & exciting sounding character, get 681---it's a bit like the V shape in an equalizer, some boost in treble and bass.

If you only own one of it, you wouldn't be bothered about the differences... because you'll be too happy enjoying your music and games with it.

My ears gatal again... itching my wallet. Hahahahahahah!
Wanna get something portable like 381F since so many of you guys have good reviews for it.

chchyong got sell a DAC for RM90+. Not some high end stuff lah, but certainly miles better than on-board sound card.

It works just nice with Superluxs.

For everone's reference again, here's the list links about DIY mods available that I've compiled some time ago:
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=39894329

That's the first mod I did. I been wondering why has it not caught on yet until now.

And do the tissue mod to keep the sock in place. And aldo gives your ears more space.

Or if you don't want to use tissue, just take a thin strip of card board, and make it into a ring. Then fit it into the insides of the earpads.

Added on April 13, 2011, 1:53 pmHow to fit DT770 pads onto 668B? I saw the picture and it looks like it was glued onto it.

I know for certain that AKG K240's velour pads fits perfectly onto 668B (simply replace 668B's with K240's). And I've been talking forever about it, and til today I've not ordered it yet.
And some users have noted a small improvement in sound using AKG K240's velour pads.
Some discussions about DT770 pads on SQ of K240. Not very favourable, but hope that doesn't affect 668B's SQ:
http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/413927...s-fit-akg-k240s

I can order it from the local distro for 110 a pair. The distributor told me: 3 months waiting period, 50% deposit.

Eh, E1-AKG can get K240 velour pads cheaper & faster? Then I no need to susah payah go order and wait like mad for the pads.

I've created the bulk thread here:
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1833995

Put in your name to join the bulk.

OH! Now I see. Hah hah!

I'm interested in getting the K240 velour pads. Bulk from LYN'er E1-AKG, anyone?

You mean the Franz [electronic] filter?
Kenot. That one is ONLY for 681. Different impedence.

If you mean removing the foam in front of the driver, then yes. It sounds sharper, and in rare situations can have a bit of sibilance.
Replacing the foam with a thinner and less dense foam will give more clarity without the sibilance issue (I hope).

It's easy as pie. You know how to put on a sock, then you know how to fit it in. Just that it will be a very tight fitting 'sock'.

I've added your name in the bulk list.

Added on April 14, 2011, 12:40 amSamson SR850 different impedence vs 668B leh.
668B = 56ohm
Samson = 32ohm (IIRC)

Not to say you couldn't try it and see what you can gain from it. Just that I personally don't find it a need to do so. So far, I love the trebles as it is. =)
