I was looking to get another pair of headphones (I'd rather have more cheaper, different sounding headphones than one expensive, "perfect" pair) It's a Sony headphone, and it's $60 new, but I can get it opened and resealed for $35 or refurbished for $32.   I would jump on that right now, but...

then how would the input get to the pc?     I thought the Shure X2U would of been plenty good enough.

I'm asking if the use of a xlr and a usb interface would be of better quality than the same mic with one built in.

Hello, I am putting together a list of microphones at different price-points for another community online. essentially I'm creating a list of good products in certain ranges (not just mics...but many things) USB mics such as the at2020usb, snowball, and yeti are highly popular...almost...

Thank you Swannie007, This has helped me a great amount!   I hope you have a nice night-

OH! and are they easy to drive? I am getting a tablet so I can draw and enjoy audio in one go- I work better with music :P   This might be the headphones I dreamed of!

okay, thank you!   I am hoping to hear another persons opinion to make sure though- I've read that a lot of people don't like them-   Was yours a recent purchase, and did it come with the velor pads that seem to be talked about? How is the sound stage with these (being semi-open) I haven't...

 Thank you replying! I was just about to buy the UR55s!   I noticed that everyone likes the Superlux headphones, IO read once that the UR55s sounded better modded (I love breaking stuff )   What do you live about them? and do you have the 681 or the 681 EVOs?

okay nevermind  

are these two too different to compare?   I'm a bit stuck here guys     I'll beg and plead if you ask- 

I edited as I realized that there quite a bit wrong with my post, lol   anyone have any recommendations? that would be greatly appreciated!

From what I can get from this- there is foam between the grill and the driver?   if so, couldn't I just pull the foam out with less risk of breaking them?

Hi everybody! Hi doctor nick!   I was looking to get a pair of open/semi open headphones-   I was looking at the plain superlux 681's but then found out that the EVOs were a better value in both SQ, and the velour ear-pads being included (never used velor so this isn't a major deciding...

anyone have any advice? I'm assuming that these are probably too different to compare...   I found them both for $29 on a website and was just asking (as I have always wanted those Sennheisers but this price makes me want them even more)
