So when the HTF600's go to the point I can't use them, should I go for HD668B or HD681 soundstage wise?

Yeah. The 668b's soundstage is bigger then the 681, btw.

The 681 is basically a baby 668b.

Could I use equalizer on them if I have any problems with the sound signature as equalizing has no effect on soundstage?

Actually, if you EQ the treble, every 1db boost increases the soundstage size by about 2". I've actually verified this with a ruler.

1. Stand against a wall with your headphone on while playing didgeridoo music (FLAC ONLY)
2. Place ruler against headphone and mark location on wall with pencil

100% accurate and verified with my sound engineer

You forgot to mention at what part of the song to measure, it's an important detail. It's at 2:10 - 2:20

i still don't see how that helps you find the soundstage

Of course the physical construction affects the soundstage most?

the openess design

the Superlux is more open then the Pannies so it should have a larger soundstage.

Well the HTF600s are gonna hold longer now. I stuffed the spot where the plastic pieces should be with a piece of a match.

I'm choosing between Superlux HD668B and Samson SR850. People say that Samsons are more comfy, but those don't have the changeable cables that Superluxes have.

Do those two have any other differences?

I could get Superluxes for 41€ on thomann and the Samsons for 44€ on eBay.

I just ordered some RP-HTF600-s on Amazon. Unfortunately I ordered them on the 3rd and they still say "Shipping Soon".

The Samson is easier to drive (32 ohms) and they clamp slightly harder then the 668b (56 ohms)

The difference in impedance is negligible, and at 98 dB SPL @ 1mW sensitivity, they are both basically equally easy to drive.
