Been using for a while. The sound isolation is not my style and the sound stage is disappointing, well that's just me.

Ex SoundMagic user here, GREAT iem but poor build quality. Still my favourite

Stumbled upon the Superlux thread when looking for a new iem (3 of my soundmagic broke) and decided to try it.

HD381 have 3 type... and I have try all 3... no really suite me. If want better sound stage, should consider headphone.

you have 3 broken soundmagic!... that really bad products... I not try to compare, but my items all OK even after 3 - 4 years.

superlux 668B band is not so comfort. I did try it at KLAV show. That why I bought Samson. Sound wise, almost the same.

seller said 1 year... need to clarify with seller..

Honestly, I never sent my electronic item for warranty except 1 item (my Samsung cd player,nin last 12 years). I really take care my stuff. My Sony Walkman don't have any scratch after use for 2 years.

Manage to test 669 and HD660 today at Jalan Pasar.. price a bit higher than at lowyat.net. Demo set is hook to Superlux and Samson headphone amplifier. I didn't bring my Fiio E11 today cos not really expected to test any headphone. doh.gif

699 sound nice but lack of bass, not sure the demo unit already burn-in or not, still look new. For real, 669 really need an amp, my Samson can be drive by my Cube at volume level 10 -17, but 669, even at full volume, still not enough juice. I really like the pad, comfortable than most Superlux model. Softer but the headband is no no for me.

HD660 sound also the same as others but I forgot to test with my own Cube. Just with Superlux own amp, which is not good enough for me, and their source is crappy Ipod, no flac lol. The demo unit pad and headband so call 'leather' torn out to piece. doh.gif , something that I really hate happen to my headphone.

I might go there again to test after raya. I bring my own amp, Samson and Shure to compare.

That's surprising, cuz 668B can be driven straight from my C30. With the same 56 ohm and supposedly the same driver and all, I thought it should be fine. Besides, Hitman66 did an impression on 669 w/ it plugged straight to his onboard sound card. rclxub.gif
The lack of bass in 669 may be its sensitivity to setup at work. Then again no one said 669 got big bass to begin with. tongue.gif (But it should have more than 668B)

Based on pics, 660 pads are the type where the surface will be torn off after a short while. Need to change to Beyer velour pads. brows.gif

If you do, please share w/ us! notworthy.gif

@vernon91
Garage sales? trio n hellfire8888 sells them. Other than them, I dunno.

Sound card volume is higher than Cube la... 669 Rated Impedance: 56 Ω quite high. I going to test again. Cos I only test with few songs, not sure what EQ I use during that test.

EDIT: now I know why 669 need to use Cube full volume... I have test the same song with my Philips 32 Ω, at full volume I get the same results. It's the song actually. It's was audiophiles grade song for testing the clarity. The environment also noisy that time.

I see.. Anyway, w/ 668B, I dare not to try whether my on-board sound card or C30 gives more vol. Both can turn me deaf. laugh.gif

668B also 56 ohm btw..

I listen at high volume.. tongue.gif, sometime I will fall asleep with headphone still playing, connected to my PC or Cube or Walkman. That the reason I can't use open type, for sure my wife will get angry with me.. rclxms.gif

Mind to share where in jalan pasar you test those cans? I went few times to buy electronic component but didn't notice any shop selling any cans...

In shop near to the traffic light, on the side where old pasar before, not the side with a lots of bank. Don't know the shop name, but you will see the can from outside.

EDIT: The shop name is Instraco. http://www.instraco.com/


Added on August 29, 2011, 12:19 amI built my own inter-connect cable for my amp using canare cable but with cheap 3.5mm connector (for testing purpose). Pair with my Fiio E11 and Samson SR850, I hear some improvement on the SQ. Planned to mod SR850 cable if time permit but will void the warranty.. also will make another one inter-connect using Neutrik/Canare (or at least with any good Japan brand). Everything got already, just got no time now. Tomorrow still working.. sad.gif
