At a list price of $2K, you did very well!

STAX has earbuds, too, with a portable energizer. (It comes with an optional headband.) I BELIEVE that system is around $400 USD. The Shure buds are lower profile. I haven't heard either one.

Enjoy!

Cool! Had no idea about the stax. Looks like the buds are $284 and the portable amp with dac is $945. That's probably a better value than the shure since you get a dac and can probably buy a desktop amp instead...just a guess. Oh well, I will have to make due with the Shure :).

  We're talking about two different systems. The one I was referring to may be available only in Japan.
  
  I'm perfectly happy with my over-the-ear STAX. I'm trying to figure out a way to swing a pair of L700s.
  
  Great to hear you're on the way to recovery. My father's brain tumor responded very well to radiation.
  
  Stay well.

    Ah Japan. They get all the good electronics.
    
    Wonder how the US stax earbuds sound.
    
    I am super fortunate that the tumor was benign but it can come back so its good to know that radiation works well.
    
    Good luck on the L700.
    
    Probably not the same thing since there are other letters but just in case
