Yes, stax are good. Yes, they make people mad as fuck. Yes, you should get some.
Aaron Phillips
Redpill on STAX: STAX is an old Jap company with outdated tech that was considered high end back in the 1960s and 1970s but sounds like ass by today's standards, so they went nearly bankrupt. They were purchased by a Chinese company for just a million dollars who decided to market STAX to the audiophool "more expensive is better" demographic who buys those crappy $3000 vinyl players, they shill heavily on HeadFi and here on /hpg/, plus they pay Zeos to shill their crap just like Fostex does.
>In December 2011, Chinese loudspeaker manufacturer Edifier announced the acquisition of 100% equity in Stax
Oratory has measured the highest end STAX, the SR-009S.

It's worse than the HD600. HD600 scored 92 and SR-009S scored 76.
In a separate study:

Even best Stax headphones sound objectively worse than mid-fi. This is why they don't demo them in store, they rely on the internet to create a sense of mystique around STAX and shill it as the endgame because its expensive, Asian, rare and obscure. In reality its no bass sounding garbage, with shrill highs that appeal only to near-deaf boomers. And what they say is true, they have no soundstage.

You guys need to stop.

Do you think the nostax mafia ever gets bored with this? Like, spamming the same forced memes and copypastas over and over again can’t be terribly entertaining.
Lucas Cox
Post magnet-fi garbage.
First to embarrass myself.
Levi Reed
Sometimes I join in with them. Shitting on stax is literally the best way to convince anons to buy stax.
Jace Jackson
you know what's funny is that there are probably more stax owners who also own the HD800S than there are HD800 owners without stax. even funnier is that they all agree that stax are better
>By the way since I forgot it earlier, my ranking of the headphones here would be L700 > Lambda Pro > HD800S > Audeze Sine.
>reminder that stax is the true endgame, don't spend money on anything else.
>Coming from a guy who got memed into buying hd800 just to sell it at a loss.
>You clearly have never heard both Bass on Stax lambdas is way better than on hd800 no comparison
>I agree
Jason Roberts

This general also listens to modern edm, deathcore, and the most hipster shit you can imagine (floor user).
James Kelly
>none of you actually own this!
>actually plenty of people do!
>y-your music sucks!
Still no reply from benchmark by the way.
Sebastian Turner
You guys own the bottom tiers of stax headphones and various degrees of garbage amps/dac. So I ignored that bit.
Angel Young
I believe the image until it is proven wrong
Benjamin Murphy
>i-it doesn’t count because it’s not high tier enough for me!
>a-also your dac sucks!
LMAO
Benjamin Peterson
3 anons with 007, 4 anons with L700/L300L, 2 anons with 006t, 1 user with 717
ok
Easton Lopez
>>i-it doesn’t count because it’s not high tier enough for me!
I only care about sr009s. And there's still the shitshow of Stax amps.
Noah Gomez
whoa what three anons have 007 I only know the one the Chiru.no guy that runs the internet radio
Angel Bell
i mean you have shit taste so yeah you would
also 009s is more expensive than your entire mid-fi dynamic setup lol
Aiden Johnson
are you admitting that the bottom tier of stax headphones with garbage amps sound better than your setup? because it seems to be that way considering quite a few impressions
L M A O
Henry Moore
>it only counts if it’s the model I say counts!
>why this model? because it’s the most expensive lol who cares if it actually sounds good
Genius
Alexander Allen
so uhh then only LCD-4 Susvara Utopia matter then? what the hell about all the "Decent" headphones otherwise below
Austin Foster
>also 009s is more expensive than your entire mid-fi dynamic setup lol
Not sure what 3rd worlder currency you're mixxing up but it's not.
Excellent reading comprehension
Josiah Smith
theres 3 anons with 404 ;-;
Ayden Rogers
one guy said he purchased it a few threads ago and one of the archive links here had a pic of another
Bentley Miller
>the hardest to obtain headphones have the most shills for them
REEEEEAAAAAALLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY makes you think
Aaron Phillips
It literally is, you own $1000 headphones and a $1000 dac amp
Jonathan Jackson
What's the point of stax when you can get neutral headphones like hd600 (which has a closer freq response to speakers)?
Zachary Lee
>one guy said he purchased it a few threads ago
probably beyersryche user, i've been considering the 007 myself but idk if I care
Jackson Green
>hardest to obtain
If you live in a third world toilet bowl maybe.
Daniel Butler
i already have ksc75 so no thanks to any of that crap
Hunter Jones
>he doesn't get paid to shitpost
maybe you should switch teams
Oliver Allen
Stax is like the chainlink of g, totally stinky and only poojeets like them
Nolan Stewart
>t. increasingly nervous audeze shill
Nathan Diaz
>usa
>first world
Alexander Gutierrez
Seriously though. What 3rd world currency are you fucking up? The whole set up is over $4000 just base price...
Brandon Russell
Yeah that was me have them on hold gonna buy with tax refund
Gavin Morgan
actually this
usa is new world
Jaxon Moore
will /hpg/ ever go back to those days
Jason Campbell
HD800S is $1000 used and you got made fun of a bunch for spending $1000 on snake oil. What else do you own, that's $2000 which is less than 009S.
Caleb Rodriguez
>t. Neo middle easterner
Jace Peterson
I'm sorry but your shitcoins will never moon and your shitphones will never sound good.
James Carter
>he paid 4 grand for a $2000 setup
You got ripped off big time buddy.
Liam Young
>used
>this absolute monkey thinks the dac3 is really $1000
Jackson Nguyen
now copy my endro reaction images
Charles Thompson
i entered in a world of shit and its been shit ever since ;-;
Camden Anderson
Why are you so mad, everyone knows that price has no correlation to performance in this hobby. Just ask any of your fellow nostaxers.
Tyler Jackson
Not really. I only buy direct. And all official Sennhesier outlets are the same price excluding coupons. So if you paid less for your HD800s it has no warranty or you bought them used with aids.
You handlers need to do better research on what a Benchmark DAC costs too.
Chase Thomas

remember: 640 and 1240

>this is what the average STAX chink shill looks like
>there are actually western incel weebs who fall for the STAX meme
Daniel Kelly
It's just painfully obvious you're third world when you can't even get your currency conversion right.
Josiah Russell
The fuck do you mean?
David Adams
You're assuming that I actually looked up the price of whatever snake oil you own. Which I didn't. user said it costs $1000, so it costs $1000. Get fucked.
Noah Barnes
no, no, joe
Jose Butler
STAX is a niche brand for a niche audience (incel weebs who have disposable income from their jobs but no family/girl to spend the money on). They generally tend to be the autistic nerdy guys who like anime and can't socialize, that is who STAX is targetting, so it makes sense they would pay full time shilling on /hpg/.
Dominic Reyes
he means youre a fucking nigger
Brayden Bailey
>buy hd600
>plug it into onboard soundcard
>enjoy pure distilled fidelity
>buy used stax with chink cum stains from japs
>buy used special electrostatic headphone meme amp also with chink cum stains on the pot
>needs a converter to be used in a first world country
>sounds tinny and veiled
>roll over the cable on your chair
>orders replacement detachable cable... oh wait
Christian Wilson
You shouldn't be talking when you look like this, incel-kun.
Bentley Murphy
Alright, let’s play along.
amazon.com
$2195
en-us.sennheiser.com
$1700
Total: $3895
SR-009S (their ACTUAL flagship, not the SR-009)
staxaudio.com
$4325
This is ignoring the amp which will probably run you another 5 grand.
Gavin Thomas
lole he is actually mad, how cute :3
Samuel Long
nostaxers need to work on their memes. they are so easily disproven, it's just there's new ones all the time and it's tiresome to spend 5 minutes to retrieve proof
>electrocution
spritzer has been shocked over and over. specs of amps are way below current limits to kill
>dust/build quality
all stax have dust guards, we can present pictures of 50 year old stax that still look good. the 20+ year old stax used market is more popular than any brand
>nobass
head/coupler seal, easily fixed. easy quote of oratory to prove that all stax are linear when sealed. EQ goes the rest of the way
>stax aren't neutral
easily disproven by both graphs and accoustic engineers (oratory thinks the 007 is the most neutral headphone in existence).
>there are no stax owners
easily disprove as seen last thread and this one. can easily acquire more
>stax owners have buyers remorse
yet the impressions remain the same for people who bought the at the same price as an hd600 setup or those who have gone to audition them before they bought
>stax pays shills
except they hate foreigns and don't market at all
>stax is scamming you with their snake oil
except they have almost went bankrupt a couple times due to putting too much money into R&D
it's like you're not even trying anons, step up your game
Ian Rogers
>I'm VERYYYY passionate about this hobby but I can't be asked to know fuck all about the best DAC on the consumer market. Or just one of the best companies in the hobby in general. Tough luck pal.
Shitty shill
>3rd party
>zero reading comprehnesion
Amazing edumucationsz
Carson Sullivan
>posting a 12 year old child vs adult stax incels
Nice try incel
Henry Sullivan
too late user, I am already the wataten poster of this thread. you are but a pale imitation, just like your headphones
Brandon Thomas
>STAX
cringe
Jace Hill
Objectively speaking, no stax headphone can come close to the HD600 for a neutral response.
Liam Fisher
not him but what does your post and that pic even imply? you aren't allowed to ever be a child?
you just proved what a pathetic piece of shit human you are because whatever you implied is worse i'm sure
Mason Allen
Or just try not to be autistic with your cables?
Bentley James
these guys are most likely married ;)
anyways, no need to be mad you don't look that bad for a 12 year old
David Stewart
If st*x is so amazing how come they have virtually no presence outside of weeb/incel circles?
How come they have no distributors in other countries?
How come stores don't want to demo them?
How come they had to sell out for a mere million of american dollarydoos to the chinks just to avoid closure?
Kayden Roberts
Find me a cheaper price brand new on any of those. I’ll wait for your total calculation.
Isaac Flores
This website is 18+, time to go butthurt kiddo
Gabriel Green
Not one of those many shitposters, but are electrostatics that hard or costly to manufacture?
I'm trying to justify the use of plastic everywhere (even if that's sturdy plastic) on most STAX headphones which doesn't feel right for >$700 products.
David Sanchez
>objectively speaking
compensation curves have been not only been debunked by /hpg/ as slipshoddy science but has been improved apon by stax. stax is not your enemy, your autism is
Dylan Sullivan
That just means we are watching the same show user. Too bad we can't agree on the headphones.
Camden Gonzalez
>most likely married
Incorrect STAX incel. No woman would would ever marry a anime neckbeard who listens to a fucking meme 1970s headphone.
Brayden Morales
Wow you're dense retard.
Carson Gutierrez
>if I flood the thread with my collection of unattractive people wearing stax I win!
Brayden Hall
>is a pathetic shitstain
>"time go leave our secret club kiddo"
kys thanks
Nicholas Martin
Nope, they're just super niche and so few are bought that there are no economies of scale.
Its 1970s tech.
Anthony Hill
The surge in STAX users here are due to Zeos. Fat weebs are attracted to their own kind.
Nolan Diaz
nope. and nobody is even trying to steal their tech because it's just bad lol.
Brandon Ortiz
Ouch did I hit a nerve, snapshitter turbocel? I don't think any woman would touch someone who spends their entire existence collecting pictures of people who own headphones they can't afford.
Charles Kelly
I didn't ask you, user. No offense intended.
William Lee
Good response. As good as Benchmark’s response to my japanese email (none).
Wyatt Martinez
Sennheiser's flagship is an electrostat :^)
Noah Nelson
Joseph Moore
>STAX incel thinks I like Sennheiser
Lel. They're both old ass shit riding off their names long after being surpassed by better tech.
John Cook
yep and they sound like shit rofl
not a flagship tho
Jaxon Allen
wait does that mean harman caused the surge in nostaxers?
Sebastian Smith
Pls post email
Brody James
STAX shills on suicide watch.
Jonathan Sullivan

Nathan James
65 (you)a last thread. 83 this thread :^)
Tyler Bennett
My 25 year old stax doesnt have either of these issues
Blake Myers
Even the japs think stax are shit, they're getting rid of their lambdas to buy hd800s.
Gavin Thomas
>yep and they sound like shit rofl
all sennheisers sound like shit that's not the fault of the technology
Joseph Allen
I'm sorry to hear about your hearing damage
