"The open floating design of the K1000 results in a sound presentation unique to the of Stax’s offerings like the square-framed Lambdas. It easily gives a better focus on the music in comparison to the majority of speaker setups out there. It is very natural and indeed more speaker like than any other headphones, including modern flagship headphones like the Sennheiser HD800 or any . This is due to the close distance between the drivers to the ears, which makes it less dependent on room set acoustics as speakers normally do. The balance of this speaker/headphone presentation mix is very enjoyable as you get an open sound but to a certain degree still maintain the focused sound that headphones are known for."
