My headband and arc assembly were separate purchases from kuboten. However, they did not come in Stax packaging, so I don't know for sure if the arc assembly includes the headband. It did not for my order.
Welcome! Glad you're here.
I don't think you're coming off that way at all. And it seems like the fun tone resonates with people. I am curious how you settled on the name.
I went ahead and ordered the mk2 pads (2 pairs) from the seller on ebay. Cost an arm and a leg, but there don't appear to be any better options at this point.
I received the purported O2 mk2 pads from the ebay seller the other day. Just want to post some pics to be sure they are legit O2 mk2 pads. I dunno--I expected them to be more "poofy." But they seem sufficiently leathery in the pics. Are there any tell-tale signs one way or the other? Is it possible to get O2 mk1 black pads? AM I GOING INSANE?!
