Redpill on STAX for newbies: STAX is an old Jap company with outdated tech that was considered high end back in the 1960s and 1970s but sounds like ass by today's standards, so they went nearly bankrupt.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.

dropbox.com/s/61srehjyaltd7w0/Stax SR-009S.pdf?dl=0

dropbox.com/s/dm0m6u3s3b4zqzl/Sennheiser HD600.pdf?dl=0

It's worse than the HD600. HD600 scored 92 and SR-009S scored 76.

Recently Rtings rated STAX across various dimension, it's worse in terms of sound than mid-priced offerings from Hifiman and Audeze, and only got a 7.7 rating.

To add insult to overpriced injury, they have shitty plastic build quality that you would expect on cheap chinkshit headphones:

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 boomer

Objectively correct.

I have receipts. I've been told she has man hands

>implying nu-denon are bad, and not only D7100 which was an absolute blunder

When I bought my first pair of "high end" headphones (AKG K701s, circa 06-07 when they were new) my first thought was "wtf these sound bland". I already had a pair of Beyer DT770s, headphone amp, DAC, obsessed over getting high quality FLAC rips, and had spent countless hours reading about the K701s, HD600s, and other high end cans on head-fi. Even thinking I knew what to expect, it still took me a while to really pick up on and appreciate what made my high end (at the time) cans "high end".

And of course, some people just don't get it. When my parents bought our first HDTV (a Sony rear projection LCD, man that thing was awesome), we were all "wowed" by it. Then I copied some calibration settings off the internet and I was further amazed by just how good it looked compared to the factory "vivid" picture mode. My dad was impressed too. Then the first movie we all watched together after I had messed with the settings my mom more or less asked "what did you do to the TV, it looks like shit". -_-

No bass.

Thanks for the input.

Why Stax?

Because they have bass.

Why do we troll Stax owners here? Because their headphones are objectively garbage and they are angry about it.

Nobody here owns stax, you're just constantly getting baited.
