Yep, found it, looks exactly like the Superflux HD 681
http://www.amazon.com/Superlux-681-Dynamic-Semi-Open-Headphones/dp/B002GHIPYI Which costs $36 less and has a $90 lower MSRP.

SenorPlatanoIsn't Superflux a ripoff of the AKG though?

Actually I think the Superflux is based on the K240 from 2001, so I guess.
The Superflux does have good reviews though. It's not low quality, they're both the spiritual successors to the K240, and it's strange how their bodies look exactly the same except for the badge and color, even though it's 2 different companies and they're 6 years apart.

SenorPlatanoJust got the 681 and I was like meh.. Not great, I wonder how these compare sound quality wise.. I could consider selling the 681s if these are better.

MooseGooseThere wouldn't be that much of a difference (I'm assuming). You'd probably have to get a SHP 9500, AD500X, or HD558 to hear an obvious one.

SenorPlatanoSucks, I decided for the superlux instead of the Phillips because I read reviews saying it was overhyped.

MooseGooseIt really is, people have said shit like "Best headphones under $400" More like the best under $60.

SenorPlatanoI agree with The rapist Garfield: anyone who said "best headphones under $400" has never tried any other headphones that were over $100 dollars.

ZaphodXHum, I guess I'll hold off to the 681 then, and save up to get a higher model akg or a fostex
