Refusal to take responsibility.
Hi, Just thought I would make a note here of your handling of my issues. I ordered a pair of HD6xx headphones and then earlier today recieved the package. I drive to go and get it, as I like in the UK I had to pay import tax and handling fees. These total £47.92. The breakdown being £35.92 in tax and £12 in fees. These taxes were calculated of the shipping label of the box, which marked the shipment as the 6xx headphones of $199 value. Before leaving the parcel depot, I open the box to find a $35 lord of the rings mousepad. So now the problem is not only do I not have the headphones, but you have marked the shipment wrong so I have paid £47.92 fees for the handling of the mousepad. Which would have acrued £0 of fees if marked correctly as it is under £135. I go back to the desk but as I have already paid the fees I am unable to reject the shipment, but as the box said 6xx, there was no way for me to know before opening it. I contact support and they offer me a replacement, which...

to my ears, Stax is less lively but more natural, sound is also more "accurate". Its very much like "kodak film vs fujifilm" in the old days. Kodak gave you more red and hence, much richer tone. Fuji less red and more green, less eye catching, but more natural. Hope you can "feel" what I am trying to say here.
I might risk offending some ppl here by the following statement, for the reason of looking for more natural sound, I marginally prefer older stax (srx mk3/ lambda pro/404 ) than modern ones (507/L300/L700). :)
Electrostatic headphones, stax/koss/kingsound have different character than traditional dynamic cans, keeping just one pair of cans (whether it is a dynamic or electrostatic) is not fair. You are being too mean to yourself.
Go and work harder, earn more and visit massdrop more frequently. My 2 cents.
