Electrostatic Headphones
The STAX SR-007S is a reference-class open-back electrostatic headphone designed for demanding audiophiles and high-end listening environments where absolute transparency, precision, and tonal accuracy are essential. Building on the legacy of the iconic SR-007 series, continuously refined since its introduction in 1998, this latest iteration combines advanced electrostatic technology with modern materials and meticulous engineering to deliver an exceptionally natural and immersive listening experience. The SR-007S is ideally suited for dedicated headphone amplifiers and premium audio chains, where its full performance potential can be realized.
At the heart of the SR-007S is a refined push-pull electrostatic driver system that utilizes an ultra-thin diaphragm and precisely engineered fixed electrodes. This architecture enables extremely fast transient response and ultra-low distortion, resulting in a highly detailed, transparent, and lifelike sound signature. The newly designed large circular electrodes, combined with a high-precision etching process, allow for smaller ventilation openings that improve airflow control and contribute to a more balanced frequency response. The result is a presentation that is both highly resolving and musically engaging, with tight, well-controlled bass and an exceptionally clean midrange and treble.
The mechanical construction of the SR-007S plays a crucial role in its acoustic performance. Inspired by the flagship SR-X9000, the headphone features a seamless stainless steel arc assembly that enhances structural rigidity while effectively minimizing unwanted vibrations. This anti-resonance design contributes to a cleaner, more focused sound, particularly in complex musical passages. The articulated pivot mechanism allows the earcups to adapt naturally to the shape of the head, ensuring both optimal acoustic alignment and long-term wearing comfort. The headband system uses a carefully selected elastic material to provide a secure yet effortless fit without the need for constant adjustment.
The newly developed ear pads are crafted from high-quality genuine lambskin and feature a rotatable design that improves both ergonomics and acoustic sealing. Beyond their luxurious feel, the natural material helps reduce internal reflections and enhances sound absorption, resulting in a more accurate and spacious soundstage. The redesigned internal pad structure further refines spatial imaging, allowing for precise instrument placement and a greater sense of depth and dimension. The signature STAX brown finish adds a timeless, elegant aesthetic that complements the headphone’s high-end character.
The SR-007S is equipped with a detachable cable system designed for durability and ease of maintenance. This approach not only simplifies potential servicing but also ensures long-term usability in a high-performance setup. The wide, low-capacitance cable with multiple conductors is engineered to minimize signal loss and preserve audio integrity, even when used with high-resolution source material. This makes the headphone a reliable choice for users who expect consistent, reference-level performance over time.
