I have a pair in perfect condition. There were only 1000 made, so I'm wondering if they are valuable. Thanks!

I have Stax SR-404 Signature headphones and I'm very happy with the sound but they have one very annoying ergonomic issue... the headband does not hold its position.  After 5 to 10 minutes, they slip to their fully extended position.  Is anyone else having this problem?   If so, have you found a...

Alright, it’s time for an electrostatic amplifier upgrade, enough with issues from aging tube electrostatics or DIY’s done by others.  I’m thinking of finally purchasing something brand new from a reputable dealer that will not only have some kind of warranty, but longevity in the long run...

I am using a pair of stax sr202. The earpads are made of artificial leather. The feeling is suck when using in summer, since I am very sensitive to hot weather and easily get sweating. Is there any improvement if i replace the earpads with the ones used in sr-507, which are made of genuine...

Hello to Everyone ! I have a very basic question Can a felt be too thick to cause a dip in the frequency response of an headphone like the one present here just above the 10kHz ? Or the effect of a felt is measurable only in fraction of dB of attenuation ?  ...

I am deciding between two combination Lynx ONE -> T1 -> SR-404 LE or MS-Pro Ulti (or GS1000i, PS1000 will consider) with my current source ESI Juli@ as transport for quality dac and solid state amp which will be modified on Grado character, so I expect mellower fuller richer tones and tipically...

Hello,   I sold all my portables and desktop rig to quit this hobby..but just became helpless. I would like to try STAX this time and I'm in S.Korea right now so my options are quite limited when it comes to purchasing (worried about tax and all). I found someone selling Stax Airbow SR...

Anyone have these on order yet?   Twice the price of the 404's, sounds like the class margin of diminishing returns - double the investment for a smallish return.   On the other hand I had a friend 30 years ago who paid $800 for a pair of Stax Lambda's and he certainly got his money's...

Okay...so, which ones are the best...and which are not so good? can somoeone here make a list of best to worst?

I just got through placing the following order:   STAX SR-404 HEADPHONE & SRM-006TII AMP COMBO   This will be my introduction into the world of Electrostatic headphones!  It's been a long and dynamic time for me but I just needed to see what I've been missing....I know, I know....I...

I'm very, very close to pulling the trigger on a Beta 22. (well, commence, anyway). However, is there any reasonable way to use it with electrostatic headphones, such as the Stax 404? A way that is inexpensive and doesn't involve loss of performance? Buying a Beta 22 will involve a large sum of...

  As a student, I have this problem. I want to try new headphones. I can't go to meets because I can't drive. I can't just go off buying new headphones because they're expensive. So I read reviews. The headphones other people use seem like they make some HEAVENLY sound!! Now I want new...
