Offered is „SR 009 S kaum benutzt“ by STAX as second-hand device from the category „Headphone“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2383074715 ends on 15.10.2026 at 11:41 o'clock.
It’s a buyer’s market here: €2,000 lands just above the €1,868 median and a bit over the €1,987 75th percentile, so it reads as fair-to-slightly-ambitious rather than a steal. For a clean example in good condition, that’s still within normal used territory, but it isn’t priced low enough to call a bargain.
The appeal is obvious: the SR-009 remains one of Stax’s most admired electrostats for speed, detail, and space, especially if you want a reference-level window into recordings. At this level, value improves a lot if the set is well cared for, complete with pads, cable, and box, since condition and accessories matter on older Stax gear. If the listing checks out cleanly, it’s a credible buy for someone specifically chasing top-tier electrostatic performance.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Stax traces its origins to 1938 in Tokyo, Japan, when Naotake Hayashi founded Showa Kouon Co., Ltd. in Chiyoda-ku. Initially focused on wax disc recording, metal master production, and audio equipment for film soundtracks, the company evolved through the postwar era. In 1950, it launched its first high-frequency condenser microphone, adopted by NHK, and renamed itself STAX Co., Ltd. in 1963, honoring its pioneering Stax-1 mic. A brief suspension in 1995 due to economic pressures gave way to revival, preserving its legacy under family leadership.
The brand specializes in electrostatic headphones, known as "EARSPEAKERS," debuting with the world-first SR-1 in 1960. This innovation spawned enduring lines like the SR series, produced for decades with incremental refinements for superior resolution and staging. Stax complements these with dedicated electrostatic amplifiers and select accessories, eschewing conventional speakers, turntables, DACs, or cables to hone its transducer expertise.
Stax commands a niche high-end position among audiophiles and professionals, revered for unmatched transparency and fidelity that rivals cost-no-object loudspeakers. Its 85-year heritage cements it as a boutique icon in electrostatic technology, far from mass-market fare, appealing to discerning buyers seeking pinnacle sonic transduction.
