The rationale for the development of the new Stax SR-007 MK2 Earspeaker was to provide deep powerful sound previously unobtainable in Earspeakers. STAX engineers developed a unique new electrode structure that is visible through the outer case. Gold plated on the outer edge, this new electrode has no holes unlike conventional STAX Earspeakers, and thus provides an increase in the diaphragm vibration area, allowing for rich and powerful sound yet retaining all the delicacy STAX is famous for.

The STAX SR-007MK2 are extraordinary.

Rigid Metal Housing

To maintain clear distortion free sound it is most important that nothing other than the diaphragm should vibrate. Within the STAX SR-007 MK2 the sound element is encased in a thick insulated resin case, firmly fixed to the rigid body. The results are nothing short of spectacular.

Fully Adjustable Earpads

Utmost comfort for maximum enjoyment of your STAX SR-007MK2 is provided with earpads that are fully adjustable to the shape of your head that are made of genuine sheep skin.

Deluxe Carrying Case

The 007A Omega II Mk2 Headphones include a deluxe ATA Style Padded Flight Case with Gold STAX faceplate. This rigid case provides the ultimate in protection for your 007’s no matter what the environment!

Setting a section without any holes whatsoever on the perimeter of the electrodes makes it possible to achieve a deeper and more dynamic expressive capacity. There is strong drive power in respect to the diaphragm, and a high degree of linearity is achieve in the opening section too.

As is the case with ordinary speaker systems, the sturdiness of the enclosure is important for earspeakers. After enclosing the sound-producing unit in a thick insulated resin case, it is fixed to a solid metal enclosure. All unnecessary vibration is excluded.

A structure is adopted whereby the enclosure and the earpads are able to rotate independently. This enables positioning that exactly fits the shape of the ears.

Headphone Cable

An original cable developed with the aim of achieving an even higher level of reproduction is provided. The conductors make use of high-purity PC-OCC. Outstandingly high sound quality is achieved because of the wide ribbon and low capacitance.

The STAX SR-007MK2 are extraordinary. They sound great with every recording, even harsher older recordings because they slightly downplay the upper midrange and treble. This gives these Omegas very smooth, creamy, velvety, warm, powerful and deep sound.

A winning combination of incredible resolution, perfect imaging, and stellar instrument separation with a lovely, warm, intimate timbre and presentation make them a singular product on the market – oft-imitated, rarely matched.
