The better materials are a huge step-up for STAX. My pairs are all plastic, and I'm always afraid the headband will snap. The X1 headband looks solid & traditional, as do the yokes. Hopefully the ear pads are leather. I didn't see in the pictures how they are attached. Mine are by adhesive sheets, which have failed on my 507 pair, leaving a gooey & sticky mess in my hair when I wear them. (Must replace the adhesive sheets.)
