Offered is „Stax SR-009 mit 5 Meter Verlängerungskabel“ by STAX as second-hand device from the category „Wire bound Headphone“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9725934752 ends on 24.12.2026 at 12:32 o'clock.
The timing matters: the SR-009 is a discontinued former flagship, replaced by the SR-009S and later surpassed in the range by the SR-X9000, but that does not make it obsolete. At €2,800, though, this is clearly ambitious against recent used asks: the median is €1,904, with the 75th percentile at €2,084. Unless the condition or package is exceptional, there is substantial room to negotiate.
It remains a superb electrostatic headphone for listeners who value transparency, speed, natural mids, spacious imaging, and exceptionally fine low-level detail. Its effortless, low-distortion presentation is still genuinely special, particularly with acoustic, classical, and well-recorded material. Confirm that the listing includes the proper cable and that you already have a compatible Stax energizer; at this price, original accessories, excellent pads, and demonstrably clean ownership should be prerequisites rather than bonuses.
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.
