if comes to comfort level.... hmm.... tho many ppl complaint about HD661 heating earpad and deadly clamping force... for me it has the softest earpad among 3 of em.. jus the size of my ear is a lil bit too big to fit into the "hole"... so feel abit pain when wearing HD661 for long hours...

for HD668b... the famous deadly clamping force is really a true fact.. but it can be easily overcome by creating custom earpad (which i shown b4 in tis thead) or jus spend 5~8 hours to stretch it on some object... like paperbox or something else.. thn the force will gone ~

comes to HD681, it has the perfect size of "earhole" (or wat so ever) and comfortable yet tight clamp on the head.. the oni downside is that the heating earpad.. well also can be "cure" by custom earpad~~

to be honest~ if wan good noise isolation and stylish design, HD661 fits tat.. if u wan nice clarity and have a nice DAC, HD668b for sure is the best for u... finally, if u jus step into the audiophile world... and wanted to enjoy mucis a little more rather than using those cheap and lousy free gift earphone.. HD681 tats it.. i confirm it can surely brings u into the world of music in no time!!

Added on February 24, 2012, 10:45 pmwell a question from me here... if i cover the holes behind the driver of HD668b for DIY closed cans... will it damage the drivers??

Added on February 24, 2012, 10:48 pmjus tried... the bass improved A HELL LOT!!!! i can feel my ear shaking inside the cans... but then i scare tis will damage the driver... any pro can tell me will covering the holes can cause damage to the driver?

Added on February 24, 2012, 10:56 pmwell i added a round of lousy made sponge around the earpad... feels more comfort and seems it helps to "trapped" the sound from leaking...XD feel alot diff than original form~

LOL perhaps im more towards bass type then~ enjoying the improved bass yet super clarity of musics...XD

HD661 still under burn-in process~ will try to mod a little to the earpad in some free time~

nice milky white~ wondering how many people here owning a pair of RED devil HD661 here~~

ya red seems sexy... but my lappy and other stuff is all plain black~ so i go for white HD661~

yea superlux did a great job on its product quality!

it offers extremely good product with relatively lower price level~

if u really find it interesting grab one and try it~

sharing some modded pic of my cans!! bassy superlux cans

both of them had "equipped" self made noise isolated earpad... with enlarged rooms within the earcups~

erm... other than bass... well the high is smoother as compared b4 modded..

mid is more "dynamic" to me maybe due to the closed earcups effect..

overall the most significant improvement is on bassy part..

i think u mean sony XB500?? well those cans are focus in bass.. HD661 stands no chance with them in terms of bass...

are u suffering from the:

1) deadly clamping force?
2) the earcup is too small that it is not enuf for ur whole ears to fit into it?
3) the space in the earcup is too shallow so ur ears suffer from being pressure?

heres the basic answer:

1) try to "CAREFULLY" bend the two black long metal rod which acts as "connector/ bridge"... a little by a little tho.. it wont break ONLY IF u are not over bend it...

3) try put some tissue "INSIDE" the pads of the earcups which we called it the "tissue mod"... it enlarge the earcups' space a little so ur ear will not suffer from being pressure... Dun wry about the earpads will comes out, it is easy to put them back..

Cheers mate!!

Added on March 22, 2012, 11:50 pmfor the number 2 problem, the solution is:

1) DIY ur own earpads with these materials:
a) a pair of round shape sponges (preferable)/ any pair of sponge
b) a pair of socks
c) some cotton for increasing the softness (optional)
2) 1st take out the original earpads, save it tho~ it is the original anyway
3) measures the size of sponge needed and marks them down to cut them into specific size needed for ur ears...
4) cut the socks AS LONG AS POSSIBLE from to make the socks to have 2 OPEN side.. (cut the CLOSED side of the socks)
5) u MUST 1st put the socks onto the earcups of HD661 (to allow u to put in the sponges easier), and put the sponges inside socks (u can try to put a thick layer of cotton to increase the softness of ur DIY earpads) and wrap the sponges with the rest of the socks (if the socks are too long cut them BIT BY BIT... u dun wanna end up the socks are not long enuf to wrap the sponges)..
6) ENJOY UR HARDWORK!!

jus put them to ur ears.. well try to feel them and "cut a smaller mid area of the sponge 1st".. so that u wont over cutting them..

PS: if ur ear is too big/ cant find a big size sponge... easy... cut them into semi circle sponges (means u will need 4 semi circle sponges)... so the middle will be the size of ur DIY earpad~


of cos u wont wanna cover the driver~~ jus STUFF them under the pads will do ~~ as simple as that~
