This looks very interesting. Anyone own these? They look ugly, but could be a great electret electrostatic headphone. Wualta, maybe this one might be in your expertise. Here is a link .

So...a simple question.  What are the most fun headphones that you've ever heard? By fun I mean, they made you dance, they made you feel the music, they were just very engaging, alive and...fun. :P   Mention any headphones, regardless of price, size, type, sound signature, etc....and give a...

I thought a detailed comparison of the two Stax phones I own might be of interest to a few of you. I've commented briefly in the past on their relative abilities as I see them, but my penchant for verbosity, garrulousness, and completeness has finally made me take the plunge and do a voluminous...

Hi all,   Though I'd start this thread based on the fact that over time I've come to really appreciate these vintage cans.   So.... Give your opinions, view, pictures, etc :)     Frontal view :P       Glamor Shot...     Side...     J

Well, Hi Folks! This could be quite a long post, so please bare with me here. Anyways, back in 2010 when I was looking at something worthwhile to spend my tax return on I happened to stumble upon this site. I'm not really sure what made me want a pair of nice headphones, considering...

I've done a bit of reading around, and it seems that if I want the ultimate in soundstage and imaging (mostly for gaming, but generally excellent sound quality wouldn't hurt for music, either), I'm going to have to try out some electrostatic headphones...when I can afford them. Stax isn't cheap...

At my local independent record store run by a bunch of hippies (ok, that's not fair, only a few of them qualify as hippies) I found a box with STAX on the side and a $30 price tag.  They're old, model SR-X mk3.  Also in the box was the adapter thingy to hook them up to your main speaker amp. ...

Hello everyone, I am a new member here. I have had alot of experience with home audio (mostly tube stuff) in the past. I, however, have not been around it for some time. Back in my day, stax were the premier HP's. From reading a little here, stax sounds like the best still. I was wondering...

The cord has breaks on the right channel only and are getting worse to the point of making them useless. Luckily I still have Grados. I just received a reply from service that the cord is no longer available and there is no substitute. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I want to first give my heartfelt thanks to Stax Japan for allowing me to be the first in the US to audition these incredible headphones. It is an absolute honor! One of my biggest complaints with the old OmegaIIs was the treble. The OmegaII simply didn't have the resolution of the HE90s...

One channel has gone out on my STAX SRX phones or the SRD-6S/B power unit.  Does it make economic sense to try to repair it or should I be looking for a replacement?

Hello, I'm new to this site so Hi!!!!!! I'm saving up for a nice Stax Earspeaker system, either the Stax SRS 3050 II or the Stax SRS 4040 Signature II system. I wonder how these Electrostatic headphones sound like? Please share your views. As I am very interested. I have never had a...

Hi all   I recently acquired SR-X mk3 with two SRD7sb energizers. I`ve been testing them and I`m pretty sure the headphones aren`t working properly. There is no bass at all. With some heavy EQ lift there is some bass but the sound is unnatural and very tiring. I´ve tested with both...

I just recently purchased the Stax off ebay. I had been interested in e-stats since hearing some at Thrice's meet last year. When I recieved these today, only the earpads were in bad condition. I have already ordered replacements from audiocubes. My Sr-X are powered by a SRD-7/SB from a Kenwood...
