Offered is „Stax SRS-51400 MK2 Kopfhörer Set“ by STAX as exhibit from the category „Headphone“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4880469464 ends on 01.11.2026 at 09:35 o'clock.
Good condition at €1,899 puts this a bit above the €1,720 median and comfortably below the €2,228 75th percentile, so it reads as fair rather than cheap. It’s not a steal, but it’s also not pushed into ambitious territory for a Stax set in this market.
That makes sense for a well-regarded electrostatic system: the appeal is the fast, airy presentation, very low distortion, and the kind of detail retrieval that keeps revealing more from good recordings. At this level, the main upside is getting a clean, intact set from a trusted listing rather than chasing a bargain on an older Stax package; if pads, energizer, cables, and bias operation are all in order, it’s a sensible buy.
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.
