History

STAX was found in 1938. In 1959, STAX developed the world’s first electrostatic headphone and introduced SR-1 in 1960.  Today STAX continues their tradition by offering the finest headphones for both professional and audiophile applications.  STAX refers to all its headphones as “EARSPEAKERS”; such Ultra-High Fidelity devices for reproducing music can only be compared with the best cost-no-object loudspeakers, not other headphones.  The term ”EARSPEAKER” is, therefore, more descriptive of STAX’s contribution to today’s most advanced level of sonic transduction.

Testimonials

5 STARS - SR-X9000

Semplicemente e senza troppe descrizioni sono le cuffie migliori mai prodotte da Stax da quando ascolto musica con le loro elettrostatiche. Se sono le le migliori al mondo questo non lo so',ma superarle credo sia un problema per qualsiasi costruttore di cuffie del pianeta terra.

5 STARS - SRM-500T

Pairs well with the Stax SR-007s ear speakers. Doesn't have any problem driving the phones. Since I do not have the 700t to compare, I can't comment if one works better than the other with the SR-007S units. I very content with the units construction, and selected it for the tube amplification. Solid all around and will last for years.

5 STARS - SR-X1 + SRMD10II

I am an avid headphone collector and music lover and this was my first venture into electrostatic ear speakers and despite these being entry level headphones they are far beyond what I expected. This combo made it easy to enter the electrostatic world and at a price that is less than what I would normally pay for just the headphones.
