Offered is „SR-009S Silver Kopfhörer - optional im SET mit STAX SRM 700S Kopfhörerverstärker“ 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 9971957271 ends on 24.11.2026 at 16:17 o'clock.
At €3,595, this is essentially new-money pricing: the same model is listed new at €3,595. Against 36 recent used comparables, though, it sits just below the €3,621 median and well above the €3,050 25th percentile. That makes the asking price fair rather than a bargain; there is room to negotiate, especially since used examples can be found materially lower.
The SR-009S remains one of Stax’s finest headphones, offering exceptional resolution, speed, openness, and low-level detail when paired with a suitable energizer and system. Its transparency makes it a compelling choice for listeners who value refinement over warmth or punch. At this price, the purchase makes most sense if the example is exceptionally clean, complete, and recent, with original packaging and accessories; otherwise, a lower offer would better reflect the used-market position.

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.
