I just received it yesterday from Stax. It wasn't a 404 part it looks exactly like my Lambda Nova Signature, ie it says Lambda Nova on the top and not signature like the 404
My headband on my LNS just cracked in half exactly in the center. How much would a replacement cost? Can I just buy it directly or would I need to send it to Stax to repair it? I live in Japan by the way, so I hope that would make it easier.
IEM's are much more able to cancel out out side noises than any so called noise canceling headphones. If you go to head-fi.org there are thousands of people who will let you know what their favorite FOTM IEM is.
