Thanks for the replies! I wish I could demo all of them with proper amplification but there's no chance here in Greece. I am also waiting for Tyll's review of the LCD-X at Inner Fidelity. The Focal Spirit Professional also seems promising for a 250 euro closed headphone.

Thanks for your input. I think Audeze might have finally achieved a good tonal balance with the X as well but its imaging and microdynamics might still be worse than the other three.  The SR-007 is well known for its imaging capabilities and its microdynamics being an electrostat and all but...

How do these compare in a high-end set up? I'm about to buy a headphone for critical listening, monitoring and casual listening as well.  I'm mainly interested in three aspects.   1) Tonal Balance 2) Imaging and Soundstage 3) Microdynamics   In a conversation I had with a mastering...

Hi all! Which one is better for the money? Which one is less coloured and with more power reserves? What about them driving the 4070?

Any suggestions from experienced members? Which of those come closest to tell you the truth? SR-007, SR-009, SR-4070, Qualia Q010, HD800, T1, HP1000, K1000, LCD2/3, HE6, UERMs, Hidition NT-6

Hi all,   I want a set of headphones as flat, realistic, accurate and detailed as possible for mixing and mastering applications. I was thinking something in the lines of HD800, T1, LCD2, SR-007 and 4070. Any suggestions?

Hi all, I just want a set of hi-end cans for my home studio for critical work. I was thinking about the SR-007 since these are according to reports very accurate and revealing. Any other ideas? The SR-009 were also considered but are out of my budget right now.. Thanks

I think that now is time for some impressions....anyone?

Quote: kiertijai i'm very interested in your impressions with a T2 or a BHSE! Please don't let go of any Stax headphone until you listen to it with them! According to members who have heard both the SR-Omega and the SR-007 with the BHSE or the T2 find that the later is a more neutral and...

Quote: Yes I know n3rdling! I thought it would be nice to have a thread with all those impressions together! 

Both are excellent systems but which one has the edge on details, imaging, speed , tone? In other words which is the most neutral, natural and capable headphone when driven by a BHSE?

Hi,   As the titles says anyone who has heard all three? I'm also interested in low volume listening performance.. Which of these maintains the same character at all volumes?

Has anyone compared SR-007 and SR-009 with BHSE or KGSS? Kiertijai how does the SR-007 fairs against the SR-009 with your modded 727a? Spritzer i would also appreciate your comments..Have you heard the SR-009 yet? Thanks a lot guys!

Headphones : Stax SR-007 or SR-009 + HeadAmp Blue Hawaii Special Edition (BHSE) EarSpeakers : AKG Acoustics K1000 + Top Tier 300B amplifier Iems : JH Audio JH-3A   simple as that...

I was waiting for this review. Excellent job Asr, thanks for your time and for sharing your thoughts with us!
