224 GB of music, 99% of which is in FLAC format. I've a total of 9074 songs on here. If I had the space, I'd probably have more.

You received your HA-680s and discarded them as soon as they arrived?

Anyone here try these unamped out of a Clip+? If so, how did they sound?

Haha, just buy 'em *****ers already! The most you'd have to pay on a cheap item such as this is like $10-$15.

You Italians be cray cray . . . or not??

Lol.

  According to everyone in here who's compared the two: these have more bass.   Get 'em, homie.

These 'phones are getting quite a bit of exposure on Reddit.

  Dude, these are cheap 'phones. If poor mother*****ers like me are able to scrounge up enough money for them, I'm sure you can too. Get the JVC HA-S680 and if you, for whatever reason, don't like 'em it won't be the end of the world. You can always sell 'em, gift 'em, use 'em for target...

You should ask your grandfather what he thinks of the HA-S680 and tell him to post his thoughts here.   What's your grandfather's hearing like? I hope that if I ever live to be that long I'll still be able to enjoy headphones.

  This.   It's the only way he'll know whether or not he'll like it. By now a ton of people have shared their thoughts on these 'phones; now it's time for him to buy them to see what he thinks.

Quote:   The 680 most definitely will work with your gear. They're extremely efficient 'phones meant for portable use. They'll work fine out of anything.

  Haha, you're still asking this!   The CAL! When it comes to sound, the 680 beats them in just one area: soundstage. So far everyone in this thread, including myself, who's heard both 'phones prefers the CAL! And I'm sure many of the people in this thread who find the 680 amazing would be...

  I'd say it's mostly a result of the angled drivers. Blocking the ports doesn't seem to have much, if any, effect on the soundstage.

You're not alone: Takonin also prefers the sound quality of the S400 to the S680.
