I would have to totally agree with all the positive points this review made about Stax headphones. I still have my original pair that I'm now looking to replace after forty years of hard use. I wouldn't consider switching to any other brand.
I have always been curious of electrostatic headphones and especially Stax. Have never own a pair until I bought the new SR-X1/SRM-270S combination. Build quality is ok, about the same as my Vox AC 30 (Audio Technica) guitar amp headphones (£100 ca). Built to be lightweight so nice on the head. Sound is good but not great. The bass surprised me, much stronger than I thought it to be. They are slightly dark sounding and not as transparent as some of my planar magnetics or dynamics headphones. All my other headphones needed "burn in" time so I will se (hear) what have changed with these electrostatics within a month or so.
I love your facinating video`s , passionate , i like your presenontation (i,m dyslixic) , if you can can you do your favorite Amp, Speakers , Record turnable mini seriers please.
I once tried out a pair of Jecklin Float 2 headphones. The most incredible sound but they were positioned about 1” from each ear and made you look like a cyberman. I didn’t buy them.
True, but he's entitled to give his opinion. Phil dosen't ask you to agree. After all it's his RU-vid channel and he gives his opinion on all he reviews. Thats what his channel is about.
Slight problem here. Stax are not the best headphone brand in the world. This is, of course my own personal opinion, but to use your own personal opinion as a headline for the video, without any sort of qualification, is a wee bit naughty.
