Thank you so much!!!!!

The models are written on the boxes...


Thats an SR-007 with the original style flight case. So prior to 2006 at least. The Amp is the II version of the SRM-007t. Which is the relatively recent revision of the SRM-007t.

The SR-007 is the Stax Flagship headphone. Recently succeded by the SR-007 Mk.2 /A.

The 007t is the top Stax tube amp, marginally less power than the solid state 717, but a little more expensive.

I couldn't give you a precise year for either because of the time over which the units have been made. However the O2 is to my ears the best headphone there is. Although that one looks like it will need new pads. Worn pads affect the sound detrimentally.
