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.

Experience the Electrostatic Earspeaker
STAX was founded 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 prefers to call its headphones “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.
