Ok, everything has been organised, the HD-661 are on their way A slight change to the "terms and conditions" of reviewing a pair..... you MUST upload a pic of you wearing them No, seriously.... It's a Chinese thing (a picture paints a thousand words type thang) and it would be good karma for them to see us wearing them. Holy crap.... I better buy a new balaclava ...... nah, sod it, I am who I am and will gladly "pose" for the camera sporting a pair of HD-661 www.superlux.com.tw/upload/function.product.info/523e40c2-fee4-41ca-9eff-61d2718f86f3/resource/2011_Beijin_palm_expo.pdfLooks like a cool event to me, let's show them how cool we are Mike.

Yeah ...... I've got egg and chips all over it now 'cos I've been appropriately suited for the gorgeous Sunrise ever since it arrived. I'll do a 'hunk' pose like in the cartoon, Tangled. Ian

Well since my friend did not have the 7506 anymore I bought a pair which I should be getting within two weeks. Is funny that I just paid $82 USD including S&H when these units were available for a lot less a few years ago. Look forward to comparing them with the HD 661. Cheers and thanks for the opportunity.

I could do a review, but passing them on if i like them could be a problem. now if there's anyone on the west coast of the US who's also on the grotto passing them would be less of a problem.

I too have teeth and hair. But, seriously, half my brain seems to have gone missing. I used to joke about my memory but it's pretty poor now. Half my brain seems to have shut down. Maybe there is something detrimental in french grapes? What'll I be like when (if) I hit 70? Looking forward to having a listen to those Senheiser... er... Koss... ... ... uh Superlux wossnames. Should we have the same brief to work to? Make sure we cover the same aspects of performance. With plenty of space for personal expression of course. Makes it easier for Mike (bless him) to collate and publish the results. D ps Maybe the 'grey hair, grey t-shirt' thing could become the official uniform for the Rock-Grotto senior members chapter? Socks and sandals optional.

Ah .... you spotted the Simon Cowell Tee shirt!! I suppose that's me backwards cos it's in a mirror. I'd only just got up as well and those Spanish bars can be hell. Actually, it's quite nice that it's not just a bunch of little kids on here. It keeps almost on an even keel that way!! You're just a fraction older than me actually. I'm 57!! Ian

@ Mike:
Andrew is sending me some HD661's directly to me so you can divide the ones you receive and do not have to include me.

I have a pair of Sony MDR-7506 here now so they can be compared with the Superlux.

Ian My pair has just arrived Ian.... not bad from what I've heard so far (a VERY brief listen).... certainly very well packed by our guy and I love the instructions on how to replace the parts etc.... look like a good tool

Ian My pair has just arrived Ian.... not bad from what I've heard so far (a VERY brief listen).... certainly very well packed by our guy and I love the instructions on how to replace the parts etc.... look like a good tool Strong top end and quite punch bass. Extremely sensitive - too sensitive for the V8. Noise magnet. I'm currently listening to a crappy podcast from an Ipod Touch of Terry Wogan Voices are excellent. The ambience detail is amazing - especially from a crappy podcast. They seem very well matched to the Ipod!! Don't even need an amp to get a good volume. The sensitivity is extremely high on these. I can even hear the BBC electronics hissing!!! (It's not the Ipod) A very different sound to the Beyers. Ian

Please express interest if you'd like to take part in the review..... Mike, I may be a bit too late, but if there is one pair left, I would be very much interested in reviewing the HD 661. Cheers! Israel P.S. I will, of course, pay for the shipping expenses involved.
