Oh man, the comfort question!

The DT880s are The Kings Of Comfort!
I don't think I've ever used a more comfortable pair of 'phones than the DT880! LOL!

Thanks for your kind words WRT starting this thread!
But I ain't the boss.....

Hahaha..
Thanks for the clarification on comfort Chris..
 
And thanks also for the warm welcome, will report back once I'm decided on either T1 or 2170, but looks like it's biasing towards the latter..LOL

I should point out that I have no real comfort problems with the Stax 207s.
The DT880 are more comfortable, but it doesn't mean that the SR-207 are uncomfortable.

I apologize in advance if this has been covered before but can someone give me a break down between the 207 and 407?  Also I posted a thread in the help section,  I have listened to the 2170 combo and I really like the feel of the headphones and for my work I need to have them on for a long period.  My issue is with outside noise and I normally work with closed back headphones (focal pro, dt770) however I find them to be fatiguing to wear for such a long time.  The stax felt like nothing on my head.  Is there any way to have a closed back stax for sound isolation?

Stax 4070 is closed. Discontinued long time ago, though.

and reeaally expensive when they pop up

 

[jst0rm]

those look to be exactly what i want.  when you say really expensive do you mean $1000 or $5000?

 

[xaval]

More like 2400usd as per for sale section 

 

[jst0rm]

yeah amazing that popped up eh?

Headfi Classic. Welcome aboard btw!
 
Here's another Headfi Classic:
Sorry about your wallet

Oh Im fully addicted.  over 100k in gear over here.  I get to write it off though   Still $2400 is a bit much I think.  Id hate for them to reissue and I'm holding something worth $1300 on the used market.

Hi,
I need advice on pricing for STAX SRM 006-T amp with SR - 404 headphones. I think the 404 is lesser version, but both mint. Asking price is 700 euro (cca 930 $) for combo. I would be grateful for short impression if someone has experience with this setup.

If we're looking at just price-wise, it's a hell of a deal. You can't even get that amp alone at that price new.

Hm, did you by any chance hear this combo?
