RE: Stax headphones are the best ....

I don't know about the physical characteristics of the various headphones. I like the bass in the Voce--it has ample bass, which is also reasonably tight and articulate. The bass is quite deep and impactfull with the 009S as well, and both have deeper and punchier bass than the 007. The midbass is warmer in the Voce than either stax model, and I happen to like that tonal balance--too many phones sound a touch too lean and bright for my taste.

The pair of 007s that I have cannot be pushed too loud before some distortion is noticeable, even with the Blue Hawaii SE amp. Both the 009S and the Voce I heard can deliver higher volume levels. I don't do much high volume listening so it is not a big deal to me, but, the difference is noticeable.

But, in any case, both Stax models and the Voce are terrific sounding headphones.
