In Japanese, the characters  静魂 mean ‘quiet soul’, which really means to speak directly to your soul or your spirit, and that is what STAX stands for. These two characters truly define the spirit of the brand and our objectives these past 85 years.

 As STAX headphones celebrates its 85th anniversary, we look back on the rich history of our iconic brand and reflect on the importance of heritage. In today's fast-paced world, where new products are launched every other day, it's easy to forget the value of tradition and craftsmanship. But at STAX, we know that our heritage matters.

For 85 years, STAX has been at the forefront of audio innovation, pioneering new technologies and creating headphones that deliver an unparalleled listening experience. Our commitment to quality and attention to detail is evident in every product we make, and we're proud to say that our headphones are still handmade by a team skilled artisans in Japan.

 

But the truth is, artisans in audio are becoming a dying breed. In an era where mass-produced products dominate the market, the art of handcrafting audio equipment is getting lost. That is why we believe it  is more important than ever to celebrate brands like STAX that are keeping the tradition alive.

 So join us in celebrating 85 years of STAX headphones. We're proud of our heritage, and we're committed to preserving it for future generations. Whether you're an audiophile or simply appreciate the art of craftsmanship, we invite you to experience the magic of STAX headphones for yourself.
