This sucks.
I've decided to go omega but the silver import one is ugly!
The black one though, I think is drop dead gorgeous and the old champagne one is very nice too.
What would you do? Pay $300 extra to get the one you think is way much better looking or just buy the cheapest one?

Cheapest. It would be on my head all the time anyways

I actually prefer the silver one but STAX USA still doesn't carry it; I caved and got the black one.

Sounds like you two need to do a trade!

If these are going to be your primary phones for a long time. Then, in the long run the money is not the greatest thing in the world. I say go with the one that would make you the happiest. If you want the black ones, go for it. I happen to like the champagne, and that is what I got.

good luck, and they are great cans either way.

There are actually 4 different Omega II's.

* SR-007 (Brown / Champagne).
* SR-007BL (Black / Champagne).
* SR-007A (Black / Silver)
* SR-007MK2 (Black / Black).

I would personally take the cheapest one I could get a hold of. Even if I prefer the looks of the SR-007MK2.

Get the ones you want!

 

[sango]

is there any sound differences or material changes between them??

The one with most WAF or that wasnt noticed talking up residence next to the rack.....go for the stealth option. Lee

As much as I'd like a silver one, I still prefer a 2 year local warranty.

Off the top of my head, changes to the MK2 and A iterations are:

Sheep skin pads
Relocation of wire connection to drivers

There may be a few more I left out.

mmmm.... Sheep skin......

The difference between the original and SR-007A/II is the following:

Different finish on the housings (had to change it because of ROHS)
A new cable entry similar to the SR-Ω one as the cables failed from time to time
New earpad design and material, again more similar to the SR-Ω.
Thicker padding on the headband
Some changes to the ear chamber but I don't know exactly what they did

What a showoff!

If you dont use the character map, then hold Alt and press...


-I'm sure I've got the number right (937), it just isnt working, I get the registered trademark symbol-

Omega (Ω) is ASCII character #234.

So ALT + 234.
