Holy Crap! The New Stax Omega Looks fierce! (Stax SR-009)
Not really, to be so, we'd need the peak at the frequencies our ear is less sensitive at low SPL, not where it's most sensitive which is close and around 3.5KHz Good cans for low volume level listening are the ones with response curves in V shape like the PS1000 you mentioned, GS1000, etc.

Holy Crap! The New Stax Omega Looks fierce! (Stax SR-009)
My point is that all those measurement are supposed to have been made using the same measuring system, that is microphone, ADC, dummy head (if any), etc. Any differences from phones we know how they sound, should keep a relative proportion, so if the 009 has about 5dB of higher response at 4KHz than the 007, that should be something we could hear. I for one can stand better a peak there than in the 5.5-9KHz range, but still not sure I want a pair of phones with 5 extra dB of response at 4KHz compared to the 007. We'll see.

It's not the last octave what concerns me, but the peak at around 5KHz. I guess the very same mic was used to measure the 007 and the 650.

According to the second and last graphs, and also based on my own experience with frequency response plots, I'm afraid the 009 are going to be too bright for my blood

What are you listening to Part the Third
Indeed, I love the smokey tone of her voice, and the music, though "popish" is rather nice too on most of her albums. Now some funky nostalgia Johnny "Guitar" Watson - A Real Mother For Ya

What are you listening to Part the Third
Sam Brown - Ukulele and Voice, 5 Songs... This after a day listening to lots of Oscar Peterson, Ahmad Jamal, Elvin Jones... Next one is going to be more Sam Brown

New Favorite Things
While you can do that, you may also use them to slow-cook food that may taste better being made that way than on conventional pots. Beans, chickpeas, and some meats like tongue taste wonderful when very slow cooked. Sol makes one of the best "fabes" (white beans stew) I've ever eaten, they take about 14 hours to cook, so she leaves them overnight.

I think it's the headphones, they seem to be attached to the hanging wire, no real cable from the jack short one to the buddies. Besides that the girl is lookatable and the T-shirt engrish is fun. Why this double post? Software update bug? dammit.
