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 6849283772 ends on 13.12.2026 at 19:35 o'clock.
The Stax SR-009S remains a notable reference electrostatic headphone, and at €3,595 it looks like a strong deal rather than merely a fair listing. That is below the €3,090–€4,348 middle-market range’s lower boundary? Actually, it sits above the 25th-percentile mark of €3,090 but below the €3,663 median, placing it in the better-value portion of the market.
Its appeal is its exceptionally resolving, spacious presentation, with the speed and low-level detail electrostatic listeners value. At this price, it offers a sensible entry into Stax’s top-tier sound, especially if the listing includes the proper energizer connection, original case, and accessories. Confirm pad condition, cable integrity, and clean operation before buying, but there is no obvious pricing concern here: €3,595 is attractively positioned against recent comparable listings.
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.
