I would have to totally agree with all the positive points this review made about Stax headphones. I still have my original pair that I'm now looking to replace after forty years of hard use. I wouldn't consider switching to any other brand.
I love your facinating video`s , passionate , i like your presenontation (i,m dyslixic) , if you can can you do your favorite Amp, Speakers , Record turnable mini seriers please.
I have always been curious of electrostatic headphones and especially Stax. Have never own a pair until I bought the new SR-X1/SRM-270S combination. Build quality is ok, about the same as my Vox AC 30 (Audio Technica) guitar amp headphones (£100 ca). Built to be lightweight so nice on the head. Sound is good but not great. The bass surprised me, much stronger than I thought it to be. They are slightly dark sounding and not as transparent as some of my planar magnetics or dynamics headphones. All my other headphones needed "burn in" time so I will se (hear) what have changed with these electrostatics within a month or so.
I once tried out a pair of Jecklin Float 2 headphones. The most incredible sound but they were positioned about 1” from each ear and made you look like a cyberman. I didn’t buy them.
Slight problem here. Stax are not the best headphone brand in the world. This is, of course my own personal opinion, but to use your own personal opinion as a headline for the video, without any sort of qualification, is a wee bit naughty.
True, but he's entitled to give his opinion. Phil dosen't ask you to agree. After all it's his TH-cam channel and he gives his opinion on all he reviews. Thats what his channel is about.

Brilliant earspeakers Stax I’m with you the best headphones in the world at least the best I’ve heard
Yes they are..The best(for jazz and classical;))
Go on phil you a legend.
Got my p6 being collected tomorrow, just a shame its not from you sir.
Ill make the pilgrimage one day 😅
Very nice turntable 👌. Only thing I would play with on a new P6 is turntable mats at some point, I like the Funk Firm Achromats sound on Regas.😉
Planar headphones such as Hifiman are a very good and much more affordable approach to the Stax sound.

Dahlquist DQ-10 looked like the Quad 57 but was a 5-way dynamic driver speaker.

I had some ATH8 sold on in the eighties they would fade out under load
"Déja vu?" You've said that before!!😂😂
Perhaps that's why I have never preferred conventional headphones over speakers.
I did once hear a pair of electrostatic "radiator" sized speakers 🎶🙂
Sennheiser hd 600 best ever in my opinion.

I had a pair too. They looked ridiculous. They were not electrostatic though, they used dynamic drivers. Before that a pair of Wharfedal Isodynamics.
Look like something out of stingray, strange.

Calling Stax headphones the best headphones in the world is strictly your opinion sir!!!!
I didn’t like them. I’ve heard 2 pairs ….. focal were far superior imo

The lack of body and dynamics is a deal breaker for me.
Which is what he said in the video ...
