A new meme was born in previous threads:

Stax incel - An audiophool who got memed into buying expensive electrostatic headphones which actually sound worse than a cheap mid-fi dynamics. Being a victim of buyers Stockholm syndrome Stax incel tries to defend his choice as hard as he can, but he always fails because you can't argue with facts. Stax incel is a part of "Most Valuable Goy" meme.

How long should I test headphones for?

that depends. if it's a headphone I don't like then just toss them and buy my recommendation instead. if it's a headphone I own then you need to test them until the return period expires

Stax incel still can't believe he got chinked that hard and owns a bad pair of headphones

jokes on you I own stax and am planning on buying a second stax so I can switch from my stax to my stax throughout my day

So I've finished upgrading pieces in my tower and I feel like I should put an effort to have a good pair of headphones that I can use. Im looking to drop $200-$400 for a good closed fullsize that is mainly going to be for my phone or pc. All I've really had in the past were Logitech G230 and Bose SoundTrue. Any recommendations?

>no legend to tell what A, B, C are

autism! sad!

stax ls300

>graphing opinions of "all listeners"
l m f a o

Yes, is very autistic of the nostax incel to just assume which one is the Stax and which one the AKG when is not stated in the paper
Sad indeed

>$23 drivers sold as $300 iems
so theoretically how would someone go about wiring those up to a cheaper product?

The graph says Stax SR-009 is garbage, worse than an average mid-fi dynamic headphones

Just as I thought you don't even own the K701. Do you own any headphones user? Post your setup for us.

Purchase rationalization works even better than marketing

Any good alternatives to the schiit magni 3? I need a cheapish headphone amp ;-;

it's really sad, if you had finished high school then you'd also be able to afford stax

Why would someone buy Stax? They sound like shit. It's a fact.

Atom-chan

>stax incel to just assume
k

why people hate schiit magni again?

because it's a schiit product and deserves to be hated on

*dc surges your headphones*
heh

are you gonna sperg out and start spamming new threads again?

Schiit products are garbage, it's an audiophool scam company just like Stax

high distortion makes the treble sound harsh as fuck on anything brighter than the LCD2C

Why is this stax incel so angry?

what do you gain by shilling a discontinued headphone like the hd600?

Sweetie, are you getting triggered again?

What are you listening to, /hpg/? Sounds great on HD600.

youtube.com/watch?v=_jI6iAa-cC0

Nevermind, he says that they are new

I just realized... the hd600 is being discontinued and the used market will eventually dry up for them too. idol trash will audition STAX in japan while he is visiting and soon he too will finally convert.

what is store for the future of /hpg/? are we looking at a the beginnings of the holy stax general or /hsg/? what will be shilled when there are no hd600 shills left

Ugh posted in the dead thread

I have $100 to spend on some decent headphones. Ideally I'd like something over-ear and open or semi-open back. Any suggestions? My last pair were Superlux hdevo681 and they were pretty nice. They finally gave out after several years and I'd like to upgrade, but I'm still on a pretty tight budget.

*click*

speakers are inferior to stax

kenrockwell.com/audio/stax/sr-007-mk2.htm
>For their intended use, the STAX SR-007MK2 are a bargain at only about $2,400 brand-new. To get sound this good, this accurate and over this broad a frequency range through loudspeakers requires at least a $100,000 investment in speakers, crossovers and acoustic studio design. Even if you had speakers this good, setting them up in a domestic environment just can't compete unless you also feel like dropping at least $75,000 into acoustic room treatment to get flat response without room nodes down to 16 Hz. Heck, a typically clueless "audiophile" won't think twice about spending three times as much as these headphones just on speaker and power cables. If you can afford to throw money at fluff, you certainly can afford these headphones.

Maybe they are when compared to other chinkphones but even half decent mid-fi dynamic headphones sound much better than Stax $4000 TOTL product, it's a fact

like clockwork
