Stax Omega on ebay???

[KenW]

Was looking at dipping into stats and really hadn't found decent pricing until now. This looks legit and since he/she has sold headphones on ebay before, I figured some of his customers might be here. Anyone dealt with this individual??

Stax sale on ebay

 

[[AK]Zip]

I believe he is a member on here and has posted before in the A900LTD ebay thread.

Seller is ben128 here, and is very polite in all my PMs with him. See the A900LTD thread for more info.

If these were bought through PJ do they carry a longer warranty with Stax Japan?

 

[surfboardz26]

its ligit. Do it ken! I would highley recommend these headphones. There isn't one headphone out that are as liquid smooth as these babies.

 

[KenW]

Sent him a PM. Glad to know he's "one of us"!! Wonder if he'll give a discount to a poor, poverty stricken head-fier?

 

[flecom]

are these better than an HE60?

 

[Duggeh]

I believe that Akwok owns both and prefers the O2.

 

[flecom]

ahhh why....!?

so do I buy a RGB laser setup that i would need to buy a nice set of galvos for? or a pair of headphones I dont even have an amp for!

Ummm....

Perhaps you should do more research on such an expensive headphone before you commit to a purchase?

"is it better than a HE60" makes it sound like you've never heard of the OII. I've been following all the OII threads for nearly a year and half and still haven't convinced myself to buy one...yet

you shouldnt need Galvos unless you want to make the laser beam move,.,,,but you can still use it as a solid one beam without movement!

If you buy them from Japan, you'll have one-year warranty with Stax Japan. One thing to keep in mind is that if something goes wrong with them, Stax USA won't touch them. I bought my pair from PriceJapan, but I speak Japanese and have relatives in Japan, so should I need to send them back, it wouldn't be all that difficult for me.

Yeah I knew that Stax USA won't service Japanese Stax products, just wasn't sure about warranty length. A little disapointing with a flagship product. But from all my electronics experience if somethings to break it usually happens in that first year.

I saw the word "Omega" and was in panic mode. Then I saw that they were Omega IIs, and you could pretty much hear the air deflate out of me...


The OIIs are great headphones, but they're a bit of a challenge to get the most out of.

I went through pretty much the same thing. I'm glad I wasn't the only one.
