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.

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.


PERFECTION JUST GOT AN UPGRADE!

STAX introduced its initial SR-Lambda series over 36 years ago. The SR-L500MK2 has taken the excellent sound of the original series and combined it with a newly designed enclosure. The STAX SR-L500MK2 is an advanced Earspeaker featuring "tough" stainless fixed electrodes and a hand-selected thin-film diaphragm. Expect the perfect balance of delicate treble, soothing mids and deep bass.

DESIGNED FOR LONG LISTENING SESSIONS

Comfort and extended listening sessions were taken into consideration when designing the SR-L500MK2. You can alter the height of the head pad using the 10-click slider mechanism on the headband (ARC). The slider ensures that it remains in place after being changed, obviating the need to adjust the height. The high-grade synthetic leather used to make the soft handcrafted earpads enhances both the sound quality and comfort.

CABLES THAT ARE DESIGNED FOR LOSSLESS SIGNAL TRANSMISSION

The detachable cable uses HiFC™ (High-Performance Pure Copper) wires developed by Hitachi. These wires have the same sonic characteristics as the SR-009 and SR-L500's 6N high-purity 99.99999% copper wires. The cable is designed in a wide, flat format to reduce the capacitance between each wire and drive the SR-L500MK2 more effectively.

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.

"These absolutely deserve to get more attention, and they even overtake the SR-L700 in certain key areas. They have an excellently-tuned midrange as well as very good resolution all around."
