JUMP TO "Anyways," IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE READING A STORY
I'm an owner of Superlux HD681 EVO's which I bought in march this year.
First the headband broke on the inside but I could live with it, then the little dangling headphone jack became loose and the plastic pretty much broke. They worked for a while but then the audio got all messed up and they only worked if you held the cable in one place... all that good stuff.
So I went to the store where I got them to have them replaced but it turns out they won't replace them after all so I had to fix them myself.
I ended up modding the 3.5mm jack so that it doesn't move around anymore, it's nice and solid now and they work.
Also "fixed" the rubber band that broke which was holding the headband.
My plan was to fix them and sell them at a discount, add some money and get the Superlux HD330's.
Now that I've put a lot of work into fixing these I don't know if I want to change them or not because I'm slightly emotionally attached to them and they sound good ( I guess I've burned them in).
Anyways, the question is: Is it a good idea or not, to change my 681EVO for HD330.
I've read some GREAT reviews(on this forum actually) about the HD330's especially after they've been burned in, but I've also read some mediocre reviews (maybe people didn't burn them in? or some of them are slightly worse than others, is it a lottery?).
Thank you
