Offered is „SR-009S“ by STAX as exhibit from the category „Wire bound Headphone“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2098611270 ends on 07.12.2026 at 20:28 o'clock.
The SR-009S remains one of Stax’s most accomplished electrostatic headphones: exceptionally resolving, spacious, and fast, with a more refined balance than the earlier SR-009. At €3,300, this example sits exactly at the median of three recent comparable listings, making it a fair market price rather than a bargain or an ambitious ask.
It is a worthwhile buy for someone already committed to the Stax ecosystem, particularly with a suitable energizer and a clean, well-kept example. The sound rewards high-quality recordings with superb microdetail, effortless transparency, and an unusually open presentation. Confirm the condition of the pads and cable, check that both channels operate evenly, and establish what accessories are included; otherwise, there is no obvious pricing concern here.
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.
