review? i dont trust review, those random ppl behind "computer" are totally not reliable at all.
i even saw ppl did review and comparison with just only one earphone, i wonder how creditability will that be.

those are just personal opinion.
those 3 IEM can comparable with multiple drivers IEM?
i seriously doubt so.
try it and compare then you will know
i believe experience more then words

Interesting, I think I'll order the HD381 to give my opinion on the matter. I highly doubt, given the price of the HD381, that they can sound on par or better than those more expensive high end universal IEM's. I'll be glad to be proven wrong though

does Jaben have Superlux product for testing purpose?

anyone else bought the IEMs?

No, last I checked Jaben does not have Superlux products.

looks like buying the iem is the only way to find out the performance

Just get my Superlux HD381F (about 25 hours burn-in), the sound remind me of Hippo Ten. The low, mid and high just sound natural. Bass is deep, smooth vocal, and have enough detail. Sound quality wise, it is nothing to complain. So relaxing when listen to them. The semi open design make it wont sound that 'in the head' like normal closed iem. Although it look cheap but don't sound cheap at all. Its fit well and comfortable. Easy to drive too.

Just my two cents, as a newbie in audiophile field.

Whether its comparable to those big company like SHURE, UE, WESTONE or not, I really dont know because I cant afford them and only have brief listen to them before at Jaben. But, this Superlux iem definitely wont sound like <RM100 iem .

Why being so harsh/offensive towards the review? All reviews in this world are personal opinions. Of course expensive iem have pros than make it worth its money but like every product types out there, there will be some small company selling cheap products that have COMPARABLE quality (note the word comparable and not better?) to the expensive counterparts. They managed to make it cheap because they have lesser overheads such as maintaining big design, r & d, marketing and etc expenses.

"Comparable"
seriously, i personally own a few multiple drivers IEM and i tried Superlux before, i dont really conclude they are "comparable".

as you mentioned, they spend alot of money on R&D as well, the multiple driver crossover, drivers positioning, the sound tuning, the major refinement , the final micro details tuning of Balance armature driver, all of them are spending money on this part, thats why are they can provide this type of sounding.

marketing?
i dont really see big brand such as westone, ortofon, final audio, earsonic advertise in magazines, billboard, MV compare with monster product

comparable means on par.
so with cheaper in price for more then 10 times can compare with them?

i hope ppl shouldnt post misleading guide

just my 2 cents and opinion

cool bro, we hear your opinion as well and well taken into considerations
Yeah some reviews are biased sometimes, while some are not. We can be sure that the reviews will not be 100% accurate all the time, but also from there we can get an idea of the comparisons. It is true that only when someones (with enough $$) is able to get the high ends and compare, prolly may have a more accurate comparisons on them. Plus, a good comparison means you have the stocks in your hands, not by 'remember how it sounds previously'. In the end, sound is a subjective matter.

I myself have not tried the really high ends so I can't pretend that i do
Still, it's a good way of sharing experiences and info. Some are really happy as well

Even though not comparable to the high end ones, it's still is a good buy for its price

Cheers ya

The 20/80 Rule bro. 20% of the price, for 80% of the performance.
Superlux are not comparable in every way to higher end products. But under favourable situations, they can come pretty close. And they certainly are very enjoyable. So, I am curious... why do you find that offensive?

And the rule of diminishing returns: To get more performance, both the consumer and the manufacturer wi'll have to pay an escalating price for it. To squeeze the last 10% of performance, they have to spend 90% of the cost to refine the product, get more exotic parts, pay for specialised service, pay for expensive human resource, promote/market the product like crazy, etc... So it is not surprising that Superlux is comparable in certain areas.
Besides, some guys here own both high end gears and cheap Superlux cans... and they just wanna compare for personal reasons: and is that of any serious consequences to you?

And who says big brands like Westone, Final Audio, Earsonic don't spend big budget on marketing? They don't advertise in local magazines doesn't mean they don't promote their products using other means (e.g. sponsorship, forums, paying for artists as ambassadors, sending review units, etc). Probably less than Monster, but still huge amounts of money.

hey iamyuanwu, can pm me the your post on ur personal mod? gona put it in FP if you dont mind. Hehe lazy to link the image one by one

@shoot@m3 haha thanks for understanding.

Anyone wan to be in userlist or add anything to FP just pm me straight Easier for me to keep track

I remember the last time u say about ah ji ah jor thing when 668B came.

BUT I'M SO AGREE WITH U.

Hi! I live in the USA. I am trying to buy the Superlux HD669 headphones. I cannot get them in the USA. Does anyone know how I can purchase them?

hey try this:

http://www.pawmusic.com/collections/headphones

haha. AGREED
i'm a poor man, so need to find headphone that obey the 20/80 Rule

one big letdown with superlux is the earpads. It's hot n sticky during long use

If only they comes in cloth/velvet

Hehe there is this third party velour pad in the making. Hahaha i will try bring it in here as soon as it gets released.

for now, you can use socks to substitute wat

socks when not done well.. the bass will be very muddy, do take in mind
the ring size and the material affects the sound alot.. you can keep trying to tune the sound with the same socks tho. i tried 30 diff methods on a pair of socks personally
