QUOTE(iamyuanwu @ Feb 10 2011, 12:34 PM) Told ya some |33+ gonna come here ar-ji-ar-jor loh. I remember the last time u say about ah ji ah jor thing when 668B came. ------ 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. BUT I'M SO AGREE WITH U. |

QUOTE(Shoot@M3 @ Feb 14 2011, 12:36 PM) A good combi thereĀ This Cube C30 is equipped with BBE technology which is even used in high end Cowon players. I guess it can bring 668B to a higher level. longer battery life, much cheaper price somemore =)sorry bro not for me but for those who wish to get good player for 668B, this is the one to pair with I already got my gummy This post has been edited by beederbest: Feb 15 2011, 02:11 AM |

QUOTE(trio @ Feb 14 2011, 05:07 PM) nice player u got there! all the best for ur bulk! hahaha i woulda have get it from u if i not planning for sflo thanks u wont be able to get 669 in msia. i might start a bulk for it after 668b shipment arrives though. Sflo2 has real nice SQ, but the battery really drain like hell, cant even last 10 hours have to charge everyday. have to sacrifice battery life for good SQ anyway if u're interested i can bring in Sflo2 for u too. special price for u since u were the one who bring in superlux stuff for us. Regretted not buying the 3 packs of IEM from u last time when u offer promotional bundle price. 381F really give me 668B feel This post has been edited by beederbest: Feb 14 2011, 06:42 PM |

QUOTE(jonralf @ Feb 14 2011, 07:03 PM) wow. really meh? of course it's not that airy. but it gave me the similar feel when i got my 668B. But of course i would say 668B gave me more wow factor.good news for me then, i'm thinking to buy the 381F, and i definitely love 668B. just the comfort factor is a down. hoho a fellow S:Flo2 user Added on February 15, 2011, 1:06 am QUOTE(trio @ Feb 14 2011, 08:20 PM) PM sent bro. Added on February 15, 2011, 1:36 am QUOTE(tunertoobe @ Feb 14 2011, 08:34 PM) The S:Flo2 is great for pairing up with anything. They're flat response means you can tune the sound by using different IEM/headphone, according to your liking. indeed nice. if only it has longer battery life of more than 30 hours instead of less than 10 hours, I would definitely go for it.This post has been edited by beederbest: Feb 15 2011, 01:36 AM |

QUOTE(wongpeter @ Feb 15 2011, 01:46 AM) Do you really listen to music 30 hours in a day? hey! I thought there are only 24 hours in a day so why do you need battery life for longer than 30 hours? Don't you sleep? i listen to music before i sleep n sometimes even sleep with the music n earphone still in my ear so if only 10 hours battery when i woke up the next day for lecture, the battery empty n not enough time to charge it before bring to school anymore. |

QUOTE(tunertoobe @ Feb 15 2011, 10:09 AM) So right now you have a Cube C30? right now i still dun have c30. but based on the review, I'm quite sure it can drive them pretty since it has an built in amp too. I wish to do a comparo myself between a Cube C30 and a Gumstick. Can the Cube drive a big passive speaker, like the Gumstick? |

QUOTE(jonralf @ Feb 15 2011, 03:28 AM) I would describe 381F as tight and punchy. bigger bass than 668B and sufficient to my ear. but 668B's bass is a different surround effect bass, different feel. great for me too. =) just like how it compare to 681 which has bigger bass but i feel 668B simply sounds nicer n smoother.Added on February 15, 2011, 1:54 pm QUOTE(Agnaem @ Feb 15 2011, 12:53 PM) @ beederbest: I just gave up on getting a gumstick; but then I saw your offer. Now I can't stop myself from wanting to buy it. then what r u waiting for? I gave up on gumstick too, of course the SQ part really blast me, but not the battery and firmware part. another thing is Cube C30 has better firmware update whereas for gumstick u cant really find any official firmware update on their official website.

QUOTE(Agnaem @ Feb 15 2011, 02:13 PM) I was waiting.. for a decision on the colour! great to provide a solution for u. I gave up on gumstick due to the price and the fact that I just want to try some other IEM. Then came along your offer, which 'fixes' both of the reason why I didn't get a gumstick in the first place. I was aiming for 381, but for a guy whose only IEM is Sony's stock HPM-77, Cube F1 might do good for now. Besides, I'm gonna get my 668B soon. |
