Seems like Stax has refurbished their lightweight series - which you can see here: http://www.stax.co.jp/ENG/in-the-ear.html

So has anybody tried the SRS-005 and especially the SR-001 MK2 System, yet? The SR-001 MK2 is the portable one (driver unit using two AA cells) which should cost around 800 DM (~ US$ 350). I wonder about the sound quality and comfort of this system.

i've heard they sound electrostaticy, but i really want to hear a comparison with the etymotics because they seem to be in the same class, at least price wise.

Yea! I would love to know how they compare to the Ety's!

Earbuds that sound like electrostatics....versus electrostatics that are earbuds?

yoooohhhhhhoooooooo! todd!! tyll!! could this BE something here?

 

[dhwilkin]

But the Etys have awesome bass. Do you really think budget electrostatics can match that part?

I don't think I'd like electrostatic transducers that close to my brain. But if they sound good...

You don't want them close to your brain, BUT IF THEY SOUND GOOD? Heheh. A true head-fi quote that must be chisled in stone.. the sacrifices we'd make for good sound now go far beyond money!
