As Solderdude mentioned you can but you won't have the volume for quiet tracks. The receiver can be purchased from AliExpress (it's meant for IEMs but can provide adequate volume for sensitive headphones with better than 100mv/94 dB SPL)
Stax Spirit S3 should probably be included. I don't think it's likely at the level of the Bathys but it's probably better than most of the list, some of which are incredibly bass bloated. It's quite close to Harman / Sennheiser HD650:

They're also pretty cheap feeling too, they are the creakiest headphones I have, even more than Focal.

That two kind of pads comming in the box is quite intriguing, definitely wished this to be a higher quality build.
Edit: if they squick... that's the end of the passion...

Hello, I thought it'd be nice to a a summary of the available products and information we have or lack. I didn't mention below headphones that are most certainly not qualified to be the best. If I forgot anything, please mention it. Model (candidates for best) Price (2nd hand) Audio Science...
