Quote: A local audio shop in my area has the Stax Signature System II for sale for $2,399. So my question is since it would be around $2,000 for the HD 800's with decent amp, would it be a lot better to go electrostatic instead. 

I have already asked this before but didn't really get an answer. Since they're both around the same price which one would be better to get.

Thanks for the help everyone.

I'm sure this has already been discussed many times but are there any dedicated headphone amps that can connect through the ipod's sync connection so I could get a direct digital sound. And do they even exist? Also what web sites are the best for headphone amp shopping.

A friend of mine gave me his old Sennheiser HD590's and compared to the K701 headphones I've had for a year, I think in every way these cheaper and older headphones sound better. I can can listen at loud levels without getting any distortion on the 590's and there is way more bass and crispness...

Thanks for the help everyone. I'm confident they are real now that I know the logo has changed. The name of the store is Spearit Sound in Northampton Ma. I payed $399 for them and they were sealed and came with all of the accessories. They sound really good except in my opinion they could have...

I just purchased the K701's at an audio shop that sells high end audio in my local area. I notice where the AKG logo is on the headphones It only has the text AKG and not the design logo above it. Does this mean they could be counterfeit because when I look at pictures of the them online they...

I would currently like to upgrade from my HD 600's and was wondering which ones you would all recommend.   Should I get the HD 800's or the Stax classic system. I know they are very different technologies but they are similar in price. I haven't listened to either of them but is the price of...
