Our thoughts

Electrostatic drive in an open-back, in-ear form is the idea that sets this system apart, and it suits listeners who want that technology without sealing their ears off.

The diaphragms are 15% lighter than those of the discontinued S-001/MK2, a change designed to lower the moving mass for finer detail retrieval. The SRM-002 driver unit has a redesigned power supply that works with lower voltage rechargeable batteries as well as alkaline cells, and its ECO mode is rated for longer running time on alkaline.

Three silicone ear pad sizes and an overhead headband are included, aimed at a stable and comfortable fit. This suits owners who want an open, compact system that runs on AA batteries or the optional AC adapter. Give the team a call to talk through pad size and whether the AC adapter suits the way you listen.

Lighter Diaphragms of the STAX SRS-002 Headphones, Electrostatic Sound

The STAX SRS-002 headphones have 15% lighter diaphragms than the older, now discontinued S-001/MK2. These headphones result in further resolution, transparency and pure listening pleasure. Electrostatic design has been pioneered by Stax and they are clearly at the top of the game. The electrostatic headphones operate on an unconventional level unlike other headphones that feature dynamic and moving coil designs. In most headphones, the drivers are heavier, making it difficult to recreate detail in playback due to mass.

Improved Power Supply on the SRM-002 Amplifier

The newly designed driver unit SRM-002 featuring improved power supply has made it possible to get enough performance also when using a chargeable battery with lower voltage not to mention an alkaline dry cell. Furthermore, the unit can be switched over to ECO and normal modes to enjoy the difference in tone quality.

Open-Back Redesigned Earpiece. Improved Wearing Comfort with 3 Kinds of Earpads.

The redesigned ear canal type structure of the SR-002 enables you to enjoy excellent electrostatic sound quality without covering your ears. Three kinds of ear pads (ear piece) are also attached so that the SR-002 can offer better wearing comfort with the improved form of ear pads. Moreover, an exclusive head band (overhead arc) is provided to obtain more stable wearing feeling.
