Maybe not, Iâm just wondering if you never heard it yourself you can rate the sound quality at $100 so accurately. For example, I find them really good.
But I also rarely look. at measurements, unless I have problems with a headphone I know to research possible errors.

Measurements are somewhat similar to the 650 since you seem to care about that
Hmm Idk how I feel about this
Like the mids and the treble seem good but that subbass OOF not a fan
Wait does this actually have worse subbass than the 58X ? cuz it seems like it
doesnt look that bad the bass doesnât looks too pulled back and seems to have decent subbass extension. looks pretty eq able if your into that
Well with any electrostatic subbass wonât be the best. Also itâs pretty usable for me without eq imo. The timbre is a fair bit better than any of the lower end stax. Just a steal for the price if you want to experience something different. Also sounds like it has some meat on the bone which stax sometimes lack.
worse and different are very different words
Wait does it also come with an energizer ?
yep
20 character minimum
Yes itâs literally 400 all in. Well worth it
Ok thats not bad then, but you gotta get some sort of bass boost going on that
Howâs the soundstage and imaging
The 58x is more warm and rounded sounding in the bass but the 95x is way more detailed in the subbass and further extending
Imagining is very very good for the price. Soundstage is above average as well, also very open sounding
Itâs actually really good for eq if you are into that
Ok but what even are the benefits of an estat over a dynamic
Typically the estats have better detail, imaging, separation and openness. They also are much faster and effortless sounding (sometimes a bit lighter sounding). Itâs pretty different than most headphones but its not clearly better than others in itâs price point comparing all aspects
Also note that the 95x does have a tad bit of dynamics compression but itâs not a deal breaker like it is for the schiit modi or older aeon lolol
EStatâs are about mid range timbre and speed.
Nothing else sounds like an EStat.
And thatâs true whether speakers or headphones.
They donât rely on a magnet⌠and they can react near instantly to dynamic changes in sound⌠hence crazy detail⌠that is more or less impossible with a dynamic driverâŚ
So why are these so cheap then this seems like a great deal
Is it just Koss being Koss?
They are 100 bucks off atm which is a great deal. The original 950 is from like the 90s (I think I canât remember) but it still holds up today. Massdrop just brought them down in price a ton and only give them new pads
Also something to note the build is somewhat cheap if you care about that (like surprisingly so but still better than stax lol) but comfort is still good
Yeah⌠itâs worth mentioning the Koss Electrostats were originally $1000 or so
