The HD687 is realy good. Frans sent me the proto to try and it has a lovely balance after he modded it.
There are only two things that I don't like .... same with the others as well.
The ear space is a bit tight. The plastic is crapstic.
I really wish that Superlux would get a decent frame together for their headphones. Would make a lot of difference for me.

Looks like the housing is already set in stone. Perhaps Superlux will take the comments seriously and may make a 'higher quality' enclosure later on ?
Let's hope so.
Seeing how many well engeneered and nicely made headphones exist, some not even expensive, one would think that would not be a hard thing to do.

It is a crying shame, because they are so good for the money. Maybe we should all write to them and ask? Problem is that the cups and sizing are of course, part of what makes their sound, so its a total redesign job.

If they want to keep increase, more and more, the price of their new products, they certainly need to start thinking about comfort and overall build quality ( plastic, cable, ear space and height adjustment )

Absolutely. The build of quite a few is not really very good and I have also found the suspension system a bit crude. They are getting a reasonable sound though so you never know, one day they might venture more into mid pricing with a sturdier build. Would be nice.

From the official site, the upcoming exhibitions are on mid October. Shanghai Prolight + Sound and then Hong Kong HKTDC. I hope they consider to release the two newer models (688-687) in that time.

They will go into production this month (thanks to Tony from Superlux for the info) and hopefully they will be available soon. I still have hopes of getting a pair this year.

That’s good news. Funny, but when I first saw the name, ‘Superlux’, I thought ‘washing machines’ and now I’m starting to think more along the lines of decent headphones.
