Good planar phones - are - the other option.

Mine are new - Audio Technica ATH-AD1000X. I'll dig out my Headroom Traveller-Pack amp soon, for them, as it has the 3D circuit built-in.

While the ATs might not be quite STAX-like I am happy with them. And, I sold quite a few STAX 'phones, and know them well.

At one time it was my ambition to own a pair of off the ear & angled in 'stat 'phones, that that did do 3D, like spkrs can.

I borrowed a pair of Jecklin Floats, and they just kept falling off whenever I moved my head. The sound was VERY good, but that was the end of that idea.

Givena circuit that can provide a bit of adjustable cross-talk they can pull the 3d thing off quite well - Timbo in Oz 23:34:18 09/22/18 (0)
