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. nod.gif

@trio,
apasal mau jual 660?

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.

@Trio,
669 is the open cans version of 660, right?
Do make a comparison with the 660 and 668B when you have you hands on it.

Doesn't matter. If you're not comfortable sharing due to hygiene reason, doesn't mean we can't have TT what.
Just come and tokok lah.


Added on January 30, 2011, 11:46 amEh, anyone tried 662 yet?
Headfonia.com's preview mentioned that it has "a crystal clear treble that’s even clearer than the 668B and good soundstage."

I am so tempted again.

That amp is made from steel (or is it aluminium?). It's built like a tank.

IIRC, when I bought my 668B in Instraco... the 681 series were plugged into the HA3D amp. Didn't manage to try it. But it does look pretty much indestructible. I think it will break a toe if dropped on someone's foot. LOL!

I think better if can do @ Jaben, that way can compare with other headphones and see which amp can go well with the Superlux headphones. But I'll try to make it for the TT la even if not @ Jaben. I'll let you guys, the owners and soon to be owners decide  nod.gif

Seriously, better not in Jaben, eventhough i like that place. They don't carry Superlux products, then whole gang of Superlux users go there to TT but tak beli barang... they also need to do business, dont disturb them lah. And the owners a bit not syok with Superlux.

Unless they are having TT, and only a few of us go, then ok lah. Try open a tread in Headjam and see the reaction.

TT probably after CNY. Some where central and slightly quieter. Maybe that food court next to Times book store in The Gardens.

Not anytime soon. My supplier on leave till next week. And I have exam then till one week later. By that time, 668b, 330, 681f, 681b should arrived d. Oh btw 662/662f/662b around the price of 681 and 668 and 669 slightly more expensive than 668b.

for basshead, 651. but do read the review first. Coz for me the bass is overwhelming but then again I am not a basshead. It got me headbanging session with paramore.  rclxm9.gif

681 bass is just slightly more powerful than 668b only. Since u got 668b u should know how 681 bass sounds like d. Its the same tight bass just slightly stronger. But with proper setup, the bass will be stronger
*
I would look forward to hearing reviews of 662 and 669. Someone please buy them bring to TT. Then I can decide whether to sell my current ones to buy them. Hah hah!

Happy Chinese New Year to all Chinese!
And Have An AWESOME Holidays to everyone!

Don't ter-poison your relatives when you let them hear your Superlux. Hah hah!
Lets TT after CNY.

Mods available to stretch the RM130 further:

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.

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.
http://rockgrotto.proboards.com/index.cgi?...iew&thread=5378
http://rockgrotto.proboards.com/index.cgi?...4559&post=57092

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.

Introducing, the "iamyuanwu-rojak-mod":
- tissue mod
- dual entry
- blu-tac
- 1-sen coin
- socks mod

Improvements... I tak tau lah. Perhaps you wanna try during TT?
I suggest TT/yamcha on 27 FEB, Sunday 11am in the food court next to Times Bookstore (highest floor in MV Gardens).
(if you know other quieter locations, please suggest =)

QUOTE(iamyuanwu @ Jan 5 2011, 04:57 AM)
For those interested in how to open up the 668B...

user posted image
Pop the cap open from the top (12 o'clock position) with the tip of a blade/knife. There's a tiny space beneath the cap at 12 o'clock position.

*Notice that the 2 earpieces are wide apart. I've applied some elbow grease to reduce the death clamp.

To access beyond this part, you need to cut the [original] wires (and preferably mod it to dual entry). Modding it to dual entry will make future modifications easier.

I also added blu-tac into this space. Rockgrotto forummers replace the outer cover (the one on the bottom right) with an aluminium one to add weight. Well, I can't DIY my own aluminium cover, so I'll have to make do with Blu-Tac.

The blu-tac is to increase the weight/inertia of the driver... supposedly to help reduce boom and tightens up everything. YMMV.
But the Blu-Tac will absorb A LOT of bass. So the 1 sen coin is added.

Hate that faux-leather polyester crap earpads that make you sweaty?
Cut up a pair of sock and put it over the earpads. Use the tissue mod to keep the socks in place.
I've never felt sweaty or my ears feel stuffy after wearing for long hours.

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.

Guys, are you all interested in Superlux club TT on 27th Feb, Sun... around noon in MidValley Garden's food court? It's the only weekend I'm off work.

Those who wanna try out some of the headphones/earphones can come try out, owners can come discuss mods or what DAC/players have good synergy with the cans, can bring other brands to do some simple comparisons (no thrashing other brands obviously), etc...
I could open up my headphones for others to look around inside. I also wanna find out if anyone is interested in modding their Superlux.

Oh, someone please bring a pair of PcWork recabled KSC75. Wanna try it, Superlux ain't that portable.

Absolutely suitable for PC.
As for gaming, not sure if the sound stage is wide enough for gamers. I find it OK lah.
