DESCRIPTION
AN EARSPEAKER LIKE NO OTHER, RICH POWERFUL SOUND
The innovative SR-007MK2 is, like all other STAX headphones, an ultra-high fidelity device due to its electrostatic technology. However, unlike other STAX Earspeakers, it features a different design for its deep powerful sound and is hence, an Earspeaker like no other. The unique electrode structure has a gold-plated outer edge. Unlike other Earspeakers, these electrodes do not have any holes, causing the diaphragm to vibrate more. This not only gives you a rich powerful sound but also lets you experience the delicate details in your music.
RIGID METAL HOUSING, EXTREME COMFORT & HIGH-QUALITY AUDIO
To thoroughly eliminate distortion, STAX encases the sound element in a thick insulated resin case. This case is firmly attached to the SR-007MK2’s body. This makes sure that only the diaphragm vibrates, giving you a sound that’s almost magical. The SR-007MK2 is made for long listening sessions. The soft lambskin earpads are adjustable so that they fit your head perfectly. For a great sound, the SR-007MK2 uses a Pure Crystal Ohno Continuous Casting (PC-OCC) cable. This 2.5m (8.2 feet) cable has a low capacity and wide format which ensures that you only get high-quality audio when you plug it in.
