Redpill on STAX for newbies: STAX is an old Jap company with outdated tech that was considered high end back in the 1960s and 1970s but sounds like ass by today's standards, so they went nearly bankrupt.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/. They also leveraged STAX's prior Japanese identity to market it to weebs, using Youtubers like Zeos.
>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
dropbox.com
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.
In a separate study:
>The very highest end STAX ($4000 SR-009) was rated lower in blind tests than a $200 K701

To add insult to overpriced injury, they have shitty plastic build quality that you would expect on cheap chinkshit headphones:
youtube.com
Oratory (respected sound engineer) on the build:
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, Made in China snakeoil for the audiophool.

90% of the time I'm on my PC I use my monitor speakers. 10% of the time, I play FPS games and use headphones and mic without push-to-talk.
Yesterday my headphones (HD 201) broke and now I need new ones. Previously someone recommended open-back headphones, but I'm worried that they will leak sound to my mic. Given that I'd only be using them during times when I need to use a mic, is it pointless to get open-backed?

recommendation for headphones to use in public and that can be transported easily in a backpack?
location: Canada
budget: $100 - $200 canuckbucks
on ear/over ear: either
open/closed: will be using it in public, so closed
bluetooth: could be useful
is there a way to switch what device a bluetooth headset is connected to easily?
i have a phone and laptop, both paired to the same BT headset. if i want to use it on a particular device, i turn off BT on the other device that i don't want to use it for, is there an easier way?

Alexander Howard
except to learn about Stax there really is no point in this general.
Tyler Harris
can somebody post the meme about what /hpg/ thinks headphones look like vs what they actually look like? it's an anime girl and a fat guy if that helps. i want to laugh at it.

I'm not even joking, 600s got perfectly natural sound for games, fantastic for RPGs,strategies and single player fps or adventure games
you need to amp them though.
wide sound stage, v shaped meme is for CSGO addicts they are lost cause.
