I wonder if they sound like the 404LE.

I think sr-507 totaly different design than any other lamda.....we wil see.

 
 I hope ıt s closer to sr-007 than lamda...507 ?

So, another Lambda 'phone coming up. Wonder how much this one have in common or differ from the previous models, perhaps especially the SR-404 Limited.
Great news anyhow! :lambda:

looks interesting

Looking forward for the new model

Is this the top of the line lamda?

 

[spritzer]

One has to assume the drivers are still Lambda but this isn't the TOTL model, that would be the 4070.  I must say I'm quite baffled why Stax simply didn't use the 4070 frame but also clamp the Lambda drivers in an aluminum frame to maximize their potential...

I don't know how that will be possible. For one thing the frame is plastic which is just terrible compared to the rigid SR-007 frame.

39000TWD (approx. 1200USD) for the SR-507s?
 
Maybe their prices are ridiculous like here in Australia. Else hopefully they are a big upgrade over the SR-404s.

I honestly doubt they will be different to the 404LE. I like the newer look, but spritzer's point is a good one about the frame.

Wow look at that, a new pair of Stax headphones!!  I've been away from the forums for a while and the moment I log back on Woo releases their WEE and Stax comes out with the SR-507...sounds very tempting!  On a side note though, I am very curious what the consensus was on the updated SR-007 MK2 update...I had the original black pair and didn't completely fall in love with it...so maybe the updates fixed a couple issues that bugged me with them.

Sexy, but I guess I'll pass and just get a pair of SR-404LE for half of the price. Anyone want to take bets on the treble etch being fixed or not?

 

[dcpoor]

um, the sr-507 is 73,000yen. the sr-404le was 63,000yen if I remember correctly.

 

[Robot Metal]

The treble etch probably will be either largely reduced or eliminated, considering STAX hasn't designed a model with the issue since the 90s.

73000jpy is quite good, especially compared to the Taiwanese price on those pics that were posted.
