    I'm with Auric. I mean really, aren't Stax headphones essentially little speakers on each side of your head? At some point you have to ask yourself if they should still be considered cans at all....

    They're called earspeakers instead of headphones... same thing for the old AKG K1000....

    So... went and auditioned the entry-level Stax SRS-2050II system today. The left earspeaker was distorting quite heavily so it was hard to judge the system. Also the drive unit felt and looked cheap, and didn't have much weight to it. I think I would hold off for a higher model overall. Though twice the price, the SRS-3010 drive unit makes a world of difference.

    Hey Mods! Auric hijacked the thread talking about his strap-ons.
