I remembered. can you do a FR comparison for the 007 and other headphones like the lcd-2 and lambdas? I was considering it for a complement to my lambda like you were. I'd do it myself but I'm not a discord fag

so uhhhhhh what isnt snake oil only single ended Dacs or do you just think that Integrated audio is the best and no dac is needed

ah i see which lambda?

balanced audio is made from snakes hissssssss

whatever is closest to the L700 I guess. 507?

>007

Why don't the earcups tilt? That's the dumbest design I've ever seen.

They all sound pretty bad. It's Stax, what do you expect?

all I'm using the Balanced outs for is the Extra signal Voltage since RCA is usually only 2v and Balanced is usually 4v also Im not using it for sound quality memes only the extra signal voltage
uhhh idk its supposedly a lot different and "Warmer" than older stax so I can do a test compared to mine so LCD-2 or what all headphones

the headband looks pliable enough that it shouldn't matter too much
idk I'd just like to see it next to a lambda so w/e is fine. two other darks like atticus + lcd-2 would be nice to see even though both those IF measurements are fake news

Fuck them for that retarded headband design. I was seriously considering going for the 007 instead of the L700 for the "warmer" sound signature but that build quality ruined it for me. I don't know how that's justifiable.

have you actually tried wearing them or are you just shitting on them because you assume they are uncomfortable/badly designed?

stax are worst than mid-fi headphones, you did good not to fall for the meme. congrats

I haven't but the 009 and new Lambdas, along with every other modern headphone, have earcups that can tilt.

nikita...

please don't vomit opinions based on assumptions.

Dunno if there is a tyll atticus measurment

>$2000 headphones
>earcups don't tilt
>need to spend almost twice as much to get the earcup tilt feature

really ebin, Stax

there is but it's got a crevasse that doesn't show up on other measurements
stop replying to me

Don't forget that they sound objectively worse than cheap mid-fi cans.

c u c k

nikita stop spamming, your mother is worried about you...

Luckily I watched the Zeos review on the 007 or I would have already bought it. Now I have to question Stax altogether.

unlike you I can just buy them and sell them if I don't like them

>nikita shilling for zeos
???

well here you go dude

How about this?

Don't fall for the meme kids. They really do sound like shit.

>Not replying with Megumi
Wasted oppurtunity.

As someone who has never heard Stax headphones I was going by his rave review of the L700. Then while watching his review of the SR-007 he pointed out the retarded ear cup design and I was a little shocked.

sorry i didnt have a Picture on my PC all of my megumin is on my phone

your posts come off as fake outrage, get over it

How do you justify such a shitty ear cup design when that same company implements tilted ear cups for both the direct upgrade and downgrade of this particular headphone?

>lambda
>downgrade
wrong

That's not a headphone though.

I fail to see why tilted ear cups are necessary when the headband is flexible. if that makes you mad then you should see pic related. the hd800 is just as expensive and is well known for having paint that flakes even when babied

since /hpg/ is basically stax general is the SR-003 IEM actually good or a meme? with the new covers and eartips?

in price

Their 4000$ flagship sounds worse than cheap AKGs, what do you expect from some IEMs?

Also wrong.
shut the fuck up retard slav.

I own them, I'm waiting for the CES-A1 to be stocked. the IEMs are a hassle but that can be worked around. they are a bit too dark as well, more like a mini 007 than a mini lambda but still good

>t. actually triggered stax incel

Interesting. Post impressions of the CES-A1 when you get them. On a side note, how are other electrostat IEMs like in terms of isolation and sound quality?
No one asked you, you literal brainless parrot.

*sends anthrax to your home*

Ya idk I've seen a couple people post them on headfi but I have no clue how they got them. Idk about others like the shures I'm not that big on iems in general

I’m just really curious about the viability of portable electrostats for use outside of the house. The CES-A1 seems to be the answer to that from Stax but I want to know how good it is before pulling the trigger.

The absolute state of this thread.

>general threads are the same people posting over and over
you dont say

The portable amps are pretty crap and are what is holding them back. You barely get enough gain and would want the kingsound amp
IPs are usually low at the start of new threads and vary typically from 50-100 depending on the tine of year or holidays

Damn that sucks. So I guess it’s not really that good of a technology at the moment then?

Wait for stax to get off their high horse and produce a non meme amp. The d10 was embarrassing to see... or like I said the m-03 it's a thicc boy it lasts for like 50 hours playtime

Yeah I’ll look at the Kingsound. In the meantime though I want to see if Stax really pull off a decent iem with good isolation and sound quality.

The recently made a cover for the back of their IEMs

Yes, that’s exactly what I mean. I want to see if it’s actually any good or if it’s a HD820 tier joke.

That's what we were just talking about, I'm waiting to order one

ah I see I wasnt aware that was the model number CES-A1

Can I please get nigger bass without ear raping treble?
