Hi everyone.
I made a thread earlier this week and decided to purchase the Superlux HD681 headphone for gaming. I have now decided to return it due to the really high treble these headphones have. I did a few simple mods to try and solve the issues like the paper towel mod and also using the brainwavz HM5 velour earpads. It didn’t help much. My head starts to hurt and that is not due to the comfort but due to the sharp sound.
Also i cannot equalize any settings since i play on the Playstation 4 so there is not even a option to reduce anything to fix treble etc.
Are there any other headphones around the $50-$60 price range that doesn’t have sharp treble and very good soundstage? I did see the Superlux HD668B has wide soundstage and less sharp treble than the HD681’s. However you still may need to mod it to tame it further? Also the Superlux HD681 evo model has been mentioned a few times. They seem to have more bass and less of a soundstage compared to the HD668Bs? But the sharp treble seems to have been fixed. I am leaning towards the HD681 evo model.
Are there any other headphones around that price range people can recommend? It would need to work straight off the bat (no sharp treble) since i won’t be able to EQ any settings on the Playstation 4. Also the Philips SHP9500 would most likely be off the list since i live in Australia and need to import it so that kills the budget.
Please provide some other choices if you have any. I have a $50 eBay voucher to use. It can go $50 over as well.
Thanks.
