As a result, it’s the most natural-sounding signature and provides the closest reproduction of how a track was recorded and produced. Due to their accurate sound reproduction, flat sound signature headphones are preferred by Music professionals, Sound Engineers and used in professional studios for mixing and mastering music tracks and are also loved by audiophiles for immersive listening sessions. You can listen to Classical, Rock, Jazz, Blues, Folk & possibly every genre in music.

Ideal for Audiophiles

These headphones are designed for discerning music lovers. If you are someone who cares about audio quality "deeply," you'll want a pair of headphones like these.


You can expect them to present a refined listening experience. The audio quality exhibited by these headphones is a beautiful mix of musicality, technical brilliance and high precision.


These headphones deliver a spacious and open soundstage with utmost clarity and detail. Delve into pure sonic bliss with these headphones!


Ideal for
Indoor Use

Open-Back Design

Headphones with an open-back design, allow air to pass through the earcups. This means that Open-Backs do not block any noise from around you, as closed-backs do, and music being heard will also leak outside to people around you. So they can only be heard in a quiet environment.


However, Open-back headphones do sound more natural and open. Open-back headphones create a feeling of space, presenting audio as if you are sitting at a live concert. Audiophiles swear by open-back headphones, and they sound quite different to closed-backs.


These headphones are perfect for critical listening sessions, mixing and mastering music. They have an accurate soundstage presentation and precise imaging.


Electrostatic Drivers

Electrostatic drivers use the concept of static electricity (i.e., no moving charges) to create an electric field, as opposed to drivers that work by electromagnetic force. These drivers are capable of capturing even the minutest details in your recordings. Electrostatic drivers are known for lending excellent details, treble extension and "wide" frequency response.


Needs Amplification

Headphones and IEMs require a certain level of power to sound their best and work at their full potential. When your headphones or IEMs are underpowered, they can sound thin or muffled.


Amplifiers are required to provide adequate power to your headphone or IEMs to perform at their best. Simply put, amplifiers allow a weak audio signal to be boosted to a powerful one.


To put it into perspective, devices such as your phones and laptops come with an amplifier, but they offer very limited output power. This output may not be sufficient to power headphones and IEMs to shine at their best. This is where a dedicated amplifier is required to deliver adequate power to hear your music in all its glory.


Tangle-Free Cables

Every time you reach for headphone cables to connect them to your headphones, no matter how neatly you "wrapped" them up, they end up in a giant Gordian knot of frustration.


Tangled cables are the bane of modern existence, and everyone owning a wired pair of headphones can attest to this. With advances in cable-making techniques and radical approaches to manufacturing, there are now several solutions to this universal problem.


You get Flat cables, Mesh Design cables, cables coated with exterior covers and cables designed with a zipper style design to avoid tangling and attempt to solve the issue.


EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF PUSH-PULL OPEN-BACK CIRCULAR ELECTROSTATIC HEADPHONES - THE SR-009S

The SR-009S uses a diaphragm which consists of an ultra-thin plastic film. This film has a mass close to zero and offers a high transient characteristic throughout the entire audio spectrum. The STAX SR-009S uses an evolved version of the Multilayer fixed electrode MLER (Multi-Layer-Elect-Rords) used in the SR-009. The edge of the electrode opening has been smoothened to reduce air resistance and improve "sound" permeability. To avoid resonance and the muddying of sound by such a thin electrode, it has been gold-plated with high specific gravity. This architecture also gives you high speed, clarity, silky details and natural texture. The guard mesh on the outer part of the headphone has been curved to increase the sound intensity, improve resolution and lower the influence of sound reflection. The arc-shaped headband has a 10-step slider making it easier to adjust and fit to just about any head size.

AN EPITOME OF DURABILITY & SUPERIOR COMFORT

The cables used in the SR-009S are similar to those used in the wiring of large-scale integration circuits or high-end audio cables. The copper wire has a purity of 99.9999% (6 Nines). It is further silver-coated and finished for a better structure. Just about every part of the SR-009S is made of precise machine-processed aluminium. This design aspect ensures that it is lightweight as well as durable. The thickness case has been structured as thin as possible to prevent resonance and enhance the smoothness of the airwave passage from the sound element. Experts have created the SR-009S. Velvety earpads in the correct proportions are made from fine synthetic leather and lambskin leather. These earpads prevent perspiring ears and guarantee extended listening sessions in comfort.

Japanese Electrostatic Pioneers From 1938

Stax, founded in 1938, is a Japanese company that makes high-end audio equipment. Twenty-two years later, in 1960, Stax released their first electrostatic earspeaker, the Stax SR-1. Over the following thirty-six years, Stax produced a variety of amplification, earspeaker, tonearm, CD player, DAC, phono cartridge and loudspeaker products.

Stax is best known for its electrostatic and electret headphones, which they call earspeakers. Electrostatic headphones work similarly to electrostatic loudspeakers but on a smaller scale. In 1995, fifty-seven years after the company’s foundation, it became insolvent. The company was revived in 1996 as the new STAX company. In December 2011, Chinese loudspeaker manufacturer Edifier announced the acquisition of 100% equity in Stax.
