    Superlux hd681 impressions - AKG copy budget open air headphone

    Hey Thanks for all the impressions... haven't had much time to even post costumers impressions... anywho the 681 is far from a AKG clone, (looks only...the person driver is way bigger) altho the original 681 kicks the 240 in the ass in the studio... it sounds like the 240 more then the 681B but...

    Superlux 681 Red Ring Classic Has Been Discontinued

    Hey has anyone used the HD 631 DJ style Superlux headphone, it has the 51 mm drivers closed back,  the US Dist price was so high that we did not get these until they decided to not carry them anymore and bought them at a discount, my guess the 149 MSRP was too high.  Anywho we have the few cases...

    Hi There, the Steve Rothermel mod is on the 681 is the later edition color with the burgundy ring, (still have early edition a bright red ring original color, the ear pads are cracking, kind of like the feel of the pads) Steve also made me a 681 closed in the rear, he used a 662 and popped the...

    Hey there, sorry... hopefully we don't have to be too politically correct, this is just my opinion, as we all have them, + or - it's all good,  the EVO is a great sounding headphone as it is... a filter mod would be crazy... IMA`, on this one. Anywho just the simple fact of taking the 669 pads...

    Superlux HD681 EVO Impressions

    Hi ... crazy i have not tried them on a pair yet, still have the first version, my only complaint about the 1st ver, is that the head strap was attached by the elastic snapped in a hole and it can pop out leaving the headband loose, and on the new ones with the extra velour ear pads are loop...

    Superlux HD681 EVO Impressions

    Hi there, we have been sending the new 681 EVO to some recording engineers i will try to post some replies, one thing i noticed is you have to break-in the drivers, for  me the fist 4 hours of use i was undecided, then after leaving them plugged in for awhile, and using them they have turned...

    someone please compare: Superlux HD-662F, HD-681EVO, HD-681F, and all the other Superlux in between.

      i agree the HD668b along with the HD660 & new 681EVO, hard to beat right out of the box for the cash, but the original 681 has it's following, it has one of the widest frequency range of any headphone, very raw sound, not produced or ear tickling at all, but does have a low frequency that the...

    Hi, IMA adding capacitors and electrical parts, is just a bad idea to these type of headphones, sure you can cut out certain frequencies, and alter the EQ...  we have a pair of old HD-681 Mod'ed by Steve Rothermel, designer of the Sason Speaker http://www.stereomojo.com/SasonReview.htm, and it...
