RIP. Not sure about their other headphones, but the portapro is great bang for the buck and the esp950 is technically inferior to stax but still a nice headphone and I generally like it.
- jabl 5y agoI have a pair of esp/950 which are getting a bit old in the tooth. Very nice headphones, but also very expensive. I've been dithering between buying a new pair of headphones without buying a new amp, if that's possible, or then just getting rid of the entire package and buying something cheaper.
- voldacar 5y agoIf you like the electrostat sound, you should check out the cheaper stax models like the L300 or L500. Generally they are more resolving and have better extension at the ends of the frequency spectrum than the esp950, which is kind of "soft" sounding and has a mid-forward frequency response. The stax use a different connector and voltage, so they won't be compatible.
