Modifications
Many thanks to iamyuanwu for collecting these mods articles.

Tissue mod (Timar from Head-fi) for comfort (and slight bass improvement):
http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/485039...15#post_6686675

Earfonia Foam removal mod (Audiophile-Indonesia forum):
Remove the foam covering the driver to increase aggressiveness & detail. I have no idea what that dude is saying most of the time. You could replace it with baby wipes or pantyhose. Keep the sticker, don't remove it.
http://www.audiophile-id.com/index.php?top...22599#msg222599

Heliharris mod (Rockgrotto forum)---aluminium ring and end cap mod for HD681. I guess it would work for 668B too. I just loaded the 668B with a LOT of blu-tac.

PinkFloyd's 4 Pence mod (variations: 4 Euro mod, RM0.40 sen mod, SGD 1 dollar mod). For "sweeter highs and have others have said, more air around instruments. Bass seems a litte tighter [...]"
http://rockgrotto.proboards.com/index.cgi?...4769&post=59472
I just used a knife tip to pop off the Superlux logo cap, applied some paper glue onto a 20 sen coin (I don't want to make it permanent yet), stick it onto the end cap with a tape over it to prevent it from falling out. Perhaps slightly less boomy bass, I guess. You could use blu-tac to stick the coin instead of some permanent glue.

Clausdk fish tank filter wool mod For crazy details in HD681. I will try later with cotton or whatever I can find at home. I used cotton, which reduced the bass to zero. I removed them.

thanks bro. I posted that because most people thinks that superlux just yet another china cap ayam cheap headphones that imitate branded designs.

I felt their really did their part in the driver design and etc. It doesnt matter you are listening to the music through some super expensive branded setup or just a cheap setup. What is important is you yourself enjoying your fav music and the soul in it. With superlux, ppl with tight budget can now enjoy music too. Audio shouldnt be limited to ppl with all the money to spend on high end stuff only.

I think alot of ppl spend too much time and money over analying audio instead of enjoying it.

So out of your selling list, the 668b is the top-tier one?

I have both HD681 and HD668B.

Prefer 668B more than 681.

trio..add me on..

HD668B & HD681

This post has been edited by rifasha: Jan 26 2011, 11:49 PM

Is the HD330 better than HD668b?
I'm rather confused by the numbering of the models and their price point.

If I'm going to try a new headphone model, and especially in the budget end, I might as well go for the most expensive on offer.

How come no HD330 list?

HD668B & HD660 owner.

I'm now wondering the HD669 and HD330. No more budget to try them all. Aand I'm not interested in owning so many headphones, I've only got a pair of ears.

If someone buys them, lets have a TT session and audition.

@trio,
apasal mau jual 660?

HD668B & HD681

In case anyone is interested: Headfonia.com just posted a review on HD651.

http://www.headfonia.com/portable-basshead-superlux-hd651/

put me in 668 list..

hahaha not really. some ppl prefer 660. and I havent tried 330 yet.

Hahaha I am selling off my 660 because of the reason you stated. Too many headphones and too little money. Need get back some cash to fund for 330. I need to test each headphones so I can recommend to fellow forumers but it is very costly doing so. and wasteful since I only have a pair of ears.

Nice bro! thanks for sharing. Actually 651 not that bad you know. But I am not a basshead. So...too bad. But its very light and portable la. And comparing bass sq and price range, its much better than those sonic gear and etc.

668b and 681 user reporting in.

Bro Trio, I think the list of users no need spoilers, kinda redundant to click it to see oh.
but as for the Models available maybe you can put in some pictures for each models and keep it under spoilers. Perhaps for now just those models that the users/fans here have reported to have. There may be other models owners later, so by then only put it in?

Thx for making this thread

I'm still eyeing on HD531, DJ Headphones
Never had a DJ Headphones so would like to compare the quality..

I put spoiler coz the list of users gonna be damn long. lol

True also, maybe just put into 1 spoiler lah
Just my suggestion
Anyone owned a HD531?

bro trio, can help me ask about the price for HD531. Will also wait for your review on 330 later

i will only get 330 if i managed to sell away my 660.

hahaha first have to see my supplier willing to bring in or not.

Added on January 28, 2011, 5:27 pmi will try talk to my supplier see can bring in models that not available from superlux with certain moq.

This post has been edited by trio: Jan 28 2011, 05:27 PM

alrite, thx bro

I'm looking forward for a review of the HD330, and furthermore, a comparison between the HD330 and HD668b.
I hope that can spare me the dilemma of choosing between both.

This post has been edited by tunertoobe: Jan 28 2011, 05:59 PM

hahaha we do a superlux gathering get camrycilver bring his 330 over XD

On the other hand.....why the dilemma when I can have both?
Hahah, kalau ada rezeki laaa.

i wish u got rezeki then XD

Yea, maybe... but if it sounds as good as everyone says then I'd definitely like to see their expressions after they put 'em on

If I got rezeki, then so will you.

Yes, I stupidly did so. I didn't even dare to bring it out until it was almost over. You know lah, all sort of reactions... some good, some not-so-good. Some people with something to lose will sneer at it. I don't care: it's my wallet and my enjoyment. I feel 20% of the price for 80% of the performance is better than many other imported stuff.

hahah heard of fanboyism and ego and pride of guys with their gadgets? XD You think ppl that spent much more than you on branded stuff will admit that you have a superior product with cap ayam?

hahahah yea XD but my rezeki sikit only selling this

Hahaha yea but nicely said. Actually as long as someone enjoying their music, its fine d. In the end, thats the only thing SHOULD matters and not brand, specs, money, bragging, twenty pages of arguement and flaming in forums hahaha XD

just he's more of a basshead!

the only bass stuff i know is 651

ic, nice price for you hd651 but not suit my color.. swt

red is cool damn nice Can wear during cny. ONG ah XD . i selling it at no profit of course nice. XD

Lol'ed at the CNY, but it makes sense

argh, faster trio bring in da hd330 ! very excited ady wanna listen...

okok i go install rocket at the ship

So only camrycilver waiting for his HD330? Only 1 person bought the HD330?!

got another fella but he withdrewed coz he cant wait that long

So how does your bulk work?
Why the wait?

erm coz the shipment takes time to reach msia from china?

And what's the minimum number of orders you bulk?

From Taiwan actually. Not as 三寨 as China. LOL!

Emm longer the wait sweeter the sound. Yeah I am still waiting the 668b bulk...

Lol, you think headphone like wine ar bro?
Like that I order then tell the posmen deliver to me in 10 years time
Sure very 'sweet' sounding when I receive the item

wats 三寨?

maybe after review, more wil bcome poison by it...

huhu guys, i might be able to bring in 662, 669 and superlux headphone amplifier. Anyone interested?

Have to burn in for some time leh. That's why like wine, the older the better... up to a stage.

That's China's slang for KIRF (keep-it-real fakes) products. Basically products that look almost the same as the real one.

Man.... it's too tempting.
But I should be saving up for a Piano Forte II and GumStick instead.

alot ppl selling piano forte 2 at affordable price wat.

i might get 669 or just settle in for 381 or get a dr dre

If i not mistaken, superlux got a production factory in china.
