    Hello everyone! I've just got my first Stax headphones L700 + 353x but I can't seem to get a good fit. I wear glasses and I get splitting pain around the ears in a matter of minutes. Are there any mods I could do on the L700? Or maybe I could consider the 007mkii if its design is more glasses friendly? Does anyone have similar experience with the fit + glasses?

    I understand the 007mkII will have different tonalities, but will the the 353x be able to drive them ok? I'm not quite in a comfortable position to upgrade both headphones and energiser.

    Thanks.

     

    have the same issue, I love the L700 mkII but it clamps more than I like so I use it less often (almost never these days). I later got a SOCAS non ported XB700 modded L500 and the final result is a nicer balance. I like how it sounds (still no as good as L700ii to me), the extra depth gave a more expanded and 3D soundstage , maybe not the most realistic, but still a nice to have even in a small collection. (bear in mind I compared original L500ii and L700ii side by side and the most obvious difference to me was size of soundstage, the L500 sounded like a "smaller speaker").

    also have the 007A and it is much more comfortable, but not a fan of its sound signature. the 009S may be a great fit for you, also easier to sound right on more amps imho.

    I am using one of Mjolnir Audio’s Carbon and so am a stranger to this issue you are facing with the 007s. The 007s Mk2, in particular, have been accused of having recessed mids. I will confess that I faced that issue with my previous amps. Hence I was very pleasantly surprised when I started using the Carbon almost 2 years back. The 007s sound much more balanced now. :) 

    glad to hear, as I got both the 007A and the Carbon on the way, and still feeling a bit like "should've just waited and got a 007 mk I"

    I truly don't get the name... why 9000?  The TOTL amp is the T8000 so is this 1000 better...?  Doesn't make any sense and is actually worse than the names I come up with...  :D

    because they know you are working on the carbon 9k!!
