I have both the Superlux HD 669 and the HD 681. I prefer the HD 681 even though it is much cheaper.

The 669 is uncomfortable. The sound is good and balance, just that the construction of the headphone feels too rigid. 1 good point of it is that it has a detacheable cable, the package comes with 2 cables, a short and long one and also a basic cloth bag. But the comfort issues really kills it, as you can always feel it on your head and your ears...

While the 681 is much more comfortable. It's lighter and the top support doesn't feel like 2 pointy things on top of your head like the 669 feels to me. But it's cheaper and doesn't come with detacheable cables. Sound is more crisp, tending on the high side but it gets better as it's burnt in.

I fully recommend the HD681, but won't even recommend the 669 if anyone asks.

thanx!

Is there still rusty problem with the HD681?

Rusty problem? Elaborate please.

The headphone is made mostly out of plastics and doesn't seem to have any visible metal parts which may rust. Are you sure we're talking about the same headphone here?

For reference : Superlux HD 681

I've read somewhere last year that the Superlux HD series has rusty problems but I couldn't remember exactly which location in the headphones.

Yes there is (HD668B), the internal soldering part of the cable, but this is not a big problem.

Audio Technica M50 looks nice! but if it is closed end then how to disturb people beside me? haha

how much you think it will be?

oil proof cannot find laaaa and wow thanks for the fast response

Hi there!
Thanks for the recommendation..

I was also looking for a cheap headphone for a spare and I came across Monoprice MHP-839 which is less than RM100.

Is it as great as the reviews in Head-Fi?
Thanks!

Hi guys, my colleagues and I are planning to get a headphone/earphone for another colleague who will be leaving in 3 months time. He loves music so we thought instead of buying him chocs and stuff, might as well get him a decent headphone as he is using the stock Apple earbuds. Our budget is about 150AUD after everyone chipped in (about RM500), so suggestions? He loves Beats tho

On-ear + Vocal + Budget RM800 headphones:

[+] Audio-Technica ATH-ES700

Mic for iPhone + Budget RM300:

[+] Audio-Technica ATH-CKM500iS (balanced)
[+] Audio-Technica ATH-CKS55Xi (bass)
[+] Audio-Technica ATH-CK313iS (clarity)

Bass + Budget RM 300 headphones:

[+] Audio-Technica ATH-PRO5MK2
[+] JVC HA-S4X
[+] JVC HA-S500
