100+ Head-Fier
This is totally unrelated to any recent posts in this thread, but....
I recently spent 5 days in Tokyo visiting parks and various headphone shops (Dynmaic Audio, Fujiya Avic, Yodabashi Cammera, etc)...
[Side note: the Yodabashi Camera in Akihabara had by far the largest selection of 'phones you can listen to. There is noise pollution, but they had 5 stalls off to the side devoted to higher end headphones.]
I finally had the chance to listen to the Stax line up. I think the 407 was my favorite....
...but after listening to them, I don't think I'll get another open-back headphone that's not a Stax again. I'll just wait and save up for SRS4070 combo, then eventually a good amp and then switch to the 007. (Bond, eat your heart out.)
After listening to the Stax line, I don't want to buy something that's open back and not Stax...
I am now a firm believer in the Stax Hype.
