Interesting. I was completely uninterested in Stax headphones in general a few years back. I had owned a 404 and sold it, and heard the Omega II many times, but had settled on HE60. Then a friend on Head-Fi held a mini-meet where I heard the Lambda Pro. IMO, it was better at that meet than the Omega II's that were floating around (and there was a great deal of different sources and amplification to try them with). I bought a Lambda Pro, and still have it (having long since bought and sold and Omega II; that headphone is too fucking polite). Lambda Pro has much better dynamics than SR-404 did, and is a great headphone for just rocking out.
