Offered is „SR-009S Silver Kopfhörer - optional im SET mit STAX SRM 700S“ by STAX as new device from the category „Headphone“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3354529430 ends on 20.10.2026 at 16:13 o'clock.
These are among the most respected electrostatic headphones around, so the interesting question is value, not pedigree. At €3,595, this sits just above the €3,518 median and well below the €5,297 75th percentile for recent EUR listings, so it reads as a fair, slightly firm asking price rather than a bargain.
That makes it a sensible buy if the set is clean and complete, especially since this model is prized for speed, transparency, and effortless detail rather than bass-heavy punch. The real upside is getting a top-tier Stax in good condition without paying upper-quartile money; just confirm the usual essentials for electrostats—pads, headband condition, cable integrity, and that the listing includes the needed energizer or interface if it’s part of the package.
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.
