Hi Superlux fans,
I have a question you guys would love to answer. Which Superlux should I get?
Let me start off by saying I'm not an Audiophile AT ALL. I don't understand speakers or headphones and whatnot but my RM45 AVF just died on me after serving for more than 3-4 years so here am I looking for a decent one to replace it. Besides, who doesn't want a good product with a cheap price? That's when I came to Superlux.
Now my usage are mainly Gaming. My song formats/choices are well, MP3 mostly and genre range from PoP (I know, shit), Rock, Punk, Heavy Metal. Budget? Let's just say I'm ok with 130-180 Range. Almost covering all Superlux right?
So there's the problem. WHICH ONE. So HD668B has tons of review and are highly rated, no doubt I should go for it. And it's cheap too. But what I wanna know is what's the difference between 668B and say, 661? or some other that are more expensive than 668B? Am I getting as much worthiness as if I buy 668B?
So there you have it. Appreciate any help from gurus around here. Thanks!
TL;DR : Which Superlux has the best Price-Performance ratio?
Even shorter : WHICH SUPERLUX WORTH IT?!
I have 2 Superlux.
The HD669 and HD681.
I absolutely love the HD681 because:
Pro:
Light on my head
Comfortable
Sharp and crisp sound
Bass is good
Tough looking plastic
Cheapest Headphone from Superlux
Comes with pouch
Cons:
The crisp sound can be a bit too much
Cord is not detachable but rather fixed. Still 3 ft long so enough.
Cord not braided but not really a problem
Doesn't look as nice on the outside but small problem
I don't really like my HD669 because :
Pro:
Good sound re-production, I would say more balance than HD681
Nice looking
Comes with 2 cords, a short and a long one. this is for either used with desktop or if you want to use with your mobile on the go.
Comes with pouch
More on the bass
Cons:
It has the grip of death, clamping on my head so it is not very comfortable. Needs constant stretching to loosen up the clamp on your head.
Top support following Audio Technica 'wing' design is not well made, so you can feel 2 things touching the top of your head, also a bit irritating as it presses on top of your head.
Cord is not braided
Mainly I can't stand using the HD669 for long due mainly because of the un-comfortableness. Sound wise still very good after more than 1 year of using.
Conclusion:
Best in my opinion is HD681. Cheap, great sound production and comfortable.

hi guys
can u tell me which Superlux model is suitable for 70's and 80's classic rock genre such like led zeppelin, deep purple, and etch? and i also want to use for FPS gaming and movies
my budget is below rm200
thx
I only used the HD681 and HD669 Superlux, so I can recommend based on these 2, get the HD681 mainly because it's comfortable, you can play long hours of gaming and music.
