I really hope the comfort is much improved on these new superluxes, i can't stand the comfort of the past models

yea, especially the wing on 668b is just not so good on my head and the pads as well
 
will get the 681mkii if the price is low enough, waiting for it to be available at taobao

I at least hope for better pads. But I really dislike ALL pleather pads. so if they are cheap enough and the AKG 240 velours still fit them I'll be insanely happy.

I think I might shoot Superlux an email and ask if there is an ETA when these will start being sold. I think they might already be being sold in China.

You think they can get us actual photos instead of the ones that look computer generated?

maybe. But I think they are accurate photos. Maybe shiner and smoother then irl

Very anxious to try these out. Those HD681 MKII's are drop-dead sexy.

I've heard several times that these are just re-shelled versions of the originals, without any driver changes etc. Can someone clarify this?

They aren't out yet anywhere so nobody would know. They will be released the beginning of next year. I don't think they would do that because they would be out already if it was that simple.
 
Where did you hear that btw?

Couple of my friends told me. Didn't mention where.

Thomann will sell them when they're launched (in January), now I'm only waiting to see how much they'll cost.

I think Superlux is trying to move up to higher-range headphones, but if I had to give a wild guess on how much they would be, I would guess $60 - $100
