Secrets of Home Theatre

SR-X1 Electrostatic headphones

The Stax SR-X1 is an electrostatic headphone that offers a unique listening experience. It features a revamped arc design for improved fit and comfort, as well as a new low capacitance OFC wide cable for better sound quality. The SR-X1 is known for its detailed and airy sound, with a focus on clarity and precision. It's a great choice for those looking to experience the benefits of electrostatic technology.

The Ultimate Entry into Electrostatic Sound

The SRM-270S has updated the design of the previous model (SRM-252S) by improving the quality of the RCA pin jack, adopting a 3mm thick front aluminum panel, and adopting an aluminum extrusion case that has been enlarged and has improved heat dissipation. The first stage of the amplifier is equipped with the latest low-noise FET, and the output stage is equipped with an improved emitter follower circuit. The latest design know-how that follows the trend of driver development in recent years is condensed into a compact housing. Since the input and output are equipped with parallel out terminals, it can be easily combined with your current system. The SRS-X1000 system has a high degree of freedom in installation, and is an all-purpose set model that can be recommended not only for music but also for personal movie watching on a desktop or bedside. High-quality RCA terminals. The parallel out terminal allows easy introduction into existing systems.

The sound was effortless, airy, and incredibly detailed. With voices and stringed instruments, there were times the STAX SRS-X1000 system took my breath away, so life-like and present, that my other headphones sounded a bit dense in comparison. This is a system that can add the shimmery beauty of electrostatics next to our existing systems, without taking anything away from those other systems. I think it’s a real achievement from the engineers at STAX.

Audiophiles who haven’t experienced electrostatic headphones should strongly consider adding this to their collection. If you’re a fan of bright or ‘v-shaped leaning towards bright’ headphones and want a home listening headphone, I encourage you to get something like this. There are drawbacks, like the SR-X1’s lightweight construction that verges on flimsy. Nevertheless, there are some really high quality components in this combination, which led me to giving them the Major-Hifi Gold Award.

Trying these out will surely be one of the most realistic listening experiences you’ll ever encounter in high-fidelity sound. The mammoth soundstage, the immaculate imaging and the incredible detail will surely win you over as well.
