Can I get an analogy with that?

Well it is like this. The Superlux is a great sounding can but the highs will be lively meaning there will be much emphasis on the bright sounds or highs good balance and decent bass as well, even a bigger sound stage but you will notice the highs sometime too much. Sibilance or the SSS sounds will be highlighted. 2,000 hours of burn will mellow this a bit but you will still notice the highs.. An upgrade to this type of sound would be Audio Technica phones for example but much more pleasant but with more refinement and detail in placement of sibilance. The superlux
 
The HTF600 is a warmer thicker fuller sounding can and the emphasis is more bassy.. No sibilance at all so it is easy to listen to for hours and hours without any hearing fatigue. HTF600. lol!

Lol. Thanks.

Do someone feel the weight of these? My necks feels strained after wearing it for 2 hours.

Are you serious?
 
You must have serious problems with most headphones. The Panasonics are very light weight. A metal headphone like the HE-500 would probably topple you over and break you.
 
Very best,

I think I heard many sibilance. Dont know why, mine just burn in for nearly 20hrs, and muddy bass, i dont see them.

Sound signature is, of course, an overriding factor, but the detailing and overall quality of the sound felt better coming out of the Superlux. If you can't stand bright headphones, of course the Superlux isn't the headphone for you. I'm just saying that as far as value goes, the Superlux HD681 mops the floor with the HTF600 in terms of resolving details, even after the boominess of the HTF600's bass is equalized to get it out of the mids.

these arent heavy cans.  If your feeling strained from wearing them it is more likely your posture that is causing the strain.

Can't be the actual physical weight. These are very light. Might be the boomy bass and boxy midrange that are causing you to tense up and hence the sore neck.
 

 

[SanjiWatsuki]

Yeah, these are the probably the lightest, or close to lightest, headphones I currently own right now.

One last question. If you were to use them in a semi competitive environment, how is listening to footsteps? Possible without an EQ?

 

[Dsnuts]

If you want footstep detail the Superlux will be better for that.. Those are much more detailed for footstep listening. The HTF600 is better for casual single player gaming more so than any type of competitive gaming. But that being said they aren't bad with footstep detail.

I don't want to ruin the mood of this thread, but I tried them. They're a bit cleaner sounding than the XB series but they have zero fidelity. Returned them already, I had it burnt in for 100+ hours.

I don't hate them, they are very musical, but not for me. Also, keep discovering more gems Dsnuts, I enjoyed the FXC51, that's what I consider a giant killer.

 

[Dsnuts]

Oh yea? You tried the MP 8320? Those will surprise you. Sorry you didn't like the HTF600s. FXC51s are indeed a nice little gem.

It's out of stock, I'll try them soon
