if it sounds like a 009s I rather save up longer to get a 009s...the only reason i will consider that thing is if it sounds like the original omega lol
No, from the impressions [
latest one here ] it sounds somewhat different from all the Stax headphones, it can be related to one or another but overall it has its own "house" sound (you can also find Spritzer's impression elsewhere, he has both and thinks it is an 'unfair' comparison)
The SR-009 and SR-009S are tuned more towards clarity and dynamics over a warmer, more mellow style of play.
The closest sound to the original Omega is the (early) SR-007 Mk1. But of course with significant differences, like:
-more bass, slightly less treble (sweet treble on both)
-smaller, more focused and layered soundstage (the Omega has a very big stage with slightly imprecise separation)
-the Omega is much less sensitive to fit and more comfortable (not heavy like the SR-009)
Maybe the
Lambda Nova Signature has a 'whiff' of Omega about it (same era with 1.5µ thick diapgrahm) but still vastly different, the bass on the Lambda series is gerenally quite far off the Omegas and the upper mid presentation is different.
And of course, in these modern times we have DACs and amps that can bring out these differences a lot more.
So nothing really sounds the Omega, some say the HE90 does have somewhat similar presentation, I didn't hear them at the same time, but I think apart from the diffused staging, they are significantly different.
