Offered is „SR-X9000“ 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 953900182 ends on 03.12.2026 at 18:45 o'clock.
Good condition at €3,650 puts this below the recent comparable-market 25th percentile of €3,602? Actually, it sits just above that mark, but remains well under the €3,879 median and comfortably below the €4,794 75th percentile. That makes it a fair-to-good buy rather than a bargain, with sensible room versus typical asking prices.
The SR-X9000 is Stax’s flagship electrostatic headphone, prized for its exceptionally resolving, fast, spacious presentation and unusually refined treble control. At this price, it is attractive for anyone already equipped with a suitable Stax energizer, particularly if the unit is clean and complete with its original cable, case, and documentation. Confirm the accessories and listen for even channel balance before buying; otherwise, good condition at this level is a worthwhile opportunity.
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.
