Endgame Headphones
Pros: -Insane audio fidelity and clearity -Ez to mod adabterplates for other earpads onto as the original earpads are click on, rather than glue on. check my instagram Casmon88 for pics of my project. -Best I've expirienced. my other current headphones count; AKG K3003, Audeze EL-80 Closed, Phillips SHP9500 (Modded with earcups) Cons: -The 252S Amp has to warm up for 15-25min after power is applied and the knop is turned to ON. otherwise the Earspeakers will scratch and do wierd stuff. normal with this Amp thou. the bigger brother in the 3170 pack does not have this issue -Somewhat expensive. especially after Z Reviews had the 2170 in for review.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good, slightly uncomfortable
Sound quality is great, two issues: 1) while bass in pretty great and punchy, sub-bass isnt really there. some tracks this is noticeable others not at all 2) some things sound a little too sibilant. Fixable with eq, and mostly an issue on specific tracks Comfort isnt great, the pads are too thin and your ears touch the grills. Also suspect the sub-bass is missing cause the stock pads are to thin to make a seal. with eq and something like the l500 pads its pretty great (also arrived in flawless condition)Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Entry level electrostatics
Edited review after a few years of listen. It's still my most favorite headphone. I first heard about this from Zeos' youtube channel, which has a demo. Imagine having both the detail of IEMs with the bass of full sized headphones. If you want to hear recordings in the most neutral way possible, this is probably it (for this price range). Its sound signature is totally natural (it activates your ear resonances just like real life). Frequency response is flat but with a small treble spike and a large deep bass rolloff. This causes the treble spike to be fatiguing to listen to for some songs. This treble spike also robs away soundstage quite a bit. I like to equalize a simple 12 db downward slant from 0-20k to remedy these issues. Compared to the HD600's, it is just as neutral sounding, but much clearer in the high treble. However the soundstage is a little better on the HD600s. Note that Japanese imported electronics are different voltage from many places so be sure to buy a correct (center negative) adapter. Or you'll break it on first listen, and cry. Beware that the headband is trash. Mine broke in 2 different places. Cheapest plastic material (ABS). The replacement costs $75 and the higher quality ones cost ~$200, which is ridiculous. so treat these like your baby.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Natural sounding music seemingly free of electronics involvement.
First .. Considering your yes-no question on comfort I'd have checked a middle box labeled 'sorta' (I recommend you include such a box .. Yes-No is too sterile - life for biological beings such as us is not binary). I've since ordered more comfortable ear cushions. Now to what really counts .. I bought these 'ear speakers' to hopefully experience more realistic sound quality. That goal has been met - in spades. Also, the staging is perfect, just the way I like it with each instrument of a small ensemble reserving its own very special place in my cranium. The most unexpected but very welcome surprise is difficult to describe. Louder simply means louder - no sense that my eardrums are complaining of abuse - if any complaint at all - it's of their just having to work harder. Finally, there's the naturalness of the music - I lose the sense that the music is being pushed through a lot of electronic apparatus .. So .. I can wear them for hours with no sense of inner ear fatigue. My grade for these Stax 'ear speakers' is a well deserved A+.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Stax is terrific equipment always has been.
If this is a introduction to Stax it's wonderful. Clear tight, airy sound. Not for metal heads who want 140 decibal volumes but otherwise their superb. Much more comfortable with deep cleanly reproduced bass , vocals become more present. Excellent Soundstage. Not a $6000 pair of Stax but then I don't have $10k MacIntosh or Audio Research equipment either. A excellent value. Sounds better than my Sennheiser hd-600's!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

It's a Stax.
For almost 50 years I've used a "New Stax SR3". It still works very well but it needs the energizer and an Amp. This is slightly inconvenient. I thought I could replace it with the Koss Electrostatic, with a Planar magnetic and various Dynamics. Nothing comes close, so I bought the Stax 3100. Now I want to buy another pair of 3100s. I will do so once I can get a really good price and maybe even sell the SR3. Once you give a fair listen to a Stax you're a customer for life. Of course the Stax addresses MY music listening needs and MY music exposures over the years. The transparency and the feeling of being there is unparalleled. I wish I could afford the Stax SR 009sVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great sounding headphones!
Amazing clarity and fidelity. I hear things in my CD's and LP,s that I had never heard before. I Can clearly hear the acoustics of the recording venue. Reverb trails, and things in the background I never noticed before on familiar recordings of mine. I expected to hear light weight bass. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the fullness and tone of the bass to be exceptional. Yes, they are a little uncomfortable, but I played CD after CD ,not wanting to remove them to even scratch my head. Best $650 I have spent in many years.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Unparalleled sound experience
It seems like it will break 100% of the time (plastics, the driver seems solid), yes The confort is subpar, yes But it is just insane in a level I never seen before. The difference is vividly apparent with any other non-electrostatic (hifiman edition x and fidelio x2 as main references). It is a earspeaker and not a headphone, that is the only way to describe it. You hear stuff in a way that time just stops and you feel the music, literally. But buy some L500 or L700 pads, or a Socas canmod !!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Extraordinary headphones in a class of their own.
Sublime sound unlike anything else you've ever heard. Had always considered my Grados as good as headphones get but these are in a league of their own. Oddball styling just adds to the experience somehow. Highly recommended.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

clear and spatial sound
the retro look won't please all, but the sound are very clear and spatial. The sound are very punchy as it need, you won't have useless bass, who can sound weird at the beginning compare to the other headset. they are light weight and comfortable to use. Be aware it's a very open sound, you won't heard peoples around you, but they will heard what you heard. Living in Switzerland, I have buy a universal adapter 600 mA 12 V and it work perfectly now. The shipping was very fast. (5 days open).Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
