I have heard the x9k many times. After replace the earpads , I didn’t compare directly but I think the sound is step closer to the x9k. However the tonality and texture of sound are different. My friends are fascinated in timbre after hearing the omega. Therefore the owner of the omega can try...

More pictures. The sound of bass and dynamics/Transparency/soundstage/details/control and everything are very amazing.

I purchase the earpads of x9k and try to install in omega. I find the hole position of x9k earpads are almost the same with the omega. Therefore I use the rivets and dustproof mesh of omega and x9k earpads to install into omega shell. After use x9k earpads, the soundstage is larger. And...

Both have an excellent soundstage, and the sr-x9000 sounds fuller in impression. The sr-omega has Irreplaceable tone for me. Both are outstanding headphones of their respective eras.

My sr-omega has the same level soundstage and bright and separation as the hifiman SGL with original earpad. And its special image is My favorite. The state of sr-omega is hard to maintain because age old. Unless you want to collect it, the sr-x9000 is more suitable for daily use in my humble...

I find ebay had the same vendor and lambskin ear pads for JR. https://www.ebay.com/itm/265320525231

I replace my SGL with lambskin ear pads. Because of more space of inside, the SGL have more bass and sound more full and still clear. The SGL really change a lot and I very love it.

I wait about 3 months in Asia for your reference.

Congratulation! I just married last month too and personally time must be less. So I keep my favor two headphones. Have a new family is wonderful. Enjoy your new life.

After fully run in and compared in better system, the soundstage of the X9000 is the same level of my omega and sound quality better.The potential of the X9000 is amazing me. I like the unique sound of the omega so I keep it.These is why I change my mind😀. The best sound quality in STAX is my...

I am so excited to see the comparison of X9000 and Sr. I had wait my Sr order for 2 months and maybe I can get it in the end of the month. I had SR-OMRGA and the X9000 is the similar STAX style , so I chose the shangri-la sr. I very like the energetic tone of sr and feel up and down soundstage...

In fact I first time heard Hifiman SGL in 2017, it sound broken and muffled. I feel STAX SR-009 is better. Until few weeks ago I heard Hifiman SGL again in my system, it amazing me. The SGL let me fall into music and feel like in studio. Maybe Hifiman Shangri-la has revision I guess.

The X9000 have colorful sound and natural bass like dynamic headphone. I think the resolution of the X9000 is also top. But for my taste, the SGL have bigger sound stage and image. So I chose it. Of course, the X9000 is good value. The craft of SGL is normal and price is very expensive.

I had compared my SR-Ω with X9K for few days. And these weekend I borrow the SGL to compare with SR-Ω for all days in my DAVE and T8000 system. The SGL is amazing me. The same level sound stage with SR-Ω and perfect sound of high/mid/bass. Finally I decide to buy the SGL for my main headphone.

Thanks for reply.I look forward to the comparison of X9000 and SGL.

Did anyone compare the X9000 and HIFIMAN SHANGRI-LA sr headphones? I consider to order one of them and it is difficult to chose. The price of SHANGRI-LA amp is too expensive so I don’t consider.

I have the last batch replaced STAX original diaphragm SR-OMEGA in 2017. Compare to X9000, the bass of X9k is better.
