At 1,690 USD, this asking price sits on the ambitious side for a used Stax Perun 5+, especially if it’s being sold as “unknown” condition. New Perun 5+ units typically run in the mid‑2,000 USD range, and the used market for current‑generation Stax electrostatics generally trades around 1,200–1,600 USD depending on condition, hours, and accessories, so this listing is effectively at the top end of that band without a clear “mint plus extras” justification. Unless the seller can show very low use, a clean service history, and a full set of original parts, it’s not a standout bargain.
Before committing, you’ll want to verify the actual age and usage, ideally by asking for serial number, hours logged, and any service records. Check for diaphragm issues such as static noise, crackling, or channel imbalance, and confirm the driver is fully functional with no visible damage to the stators or grids. Also confirm that the matching Stax ear pads, headband, and any original cables or box are included, since missing or worn accessories can quickly erode the value at this price point.
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.
