Audiophile Style

Top quality sound element

Hand selected thin-film diaphragm as well as tough stainless fixed electrodes has been employed for the SR-L300. Thus, rich deep bass response, delicate high frequency and soothing mid-range has been achieved in a balanced manner.

SLIDE TYPE HEADBAND ASSEMBLY
The headband (ARC) assembly of the SR-L300 is equipped with stepless slider mechanism for head pad height adjustment.

NEW LOW CAPACITANCE OFC WIDE CABLE
OFC cable has been employed for the core wires. The entire cable are then arranged in a flat, WIDE format configuration to lower the capacitance between each wires and finished with the most suitable structure to drive the earspeaker.

NEW HIGH QUALITY SYNTHETIC LEATHER EARPADS:
New earpad design is carefully crafted with high quality synthetic leather for utmost comfort for hours of music enjoyment as well as sound performance.

Japanese manufacturer STAX have been developing headphones since 1938 and electrostatic headphones since 1959. Utilising electrostatic technology in their ‘earspeakers’ that are widely regarded as the best headphones available today, STAX electrostatic earspeakers are widely used throughout the world by discerning audiophiles, professional musicians, and recording companies to enjoy and monitor sound thanks to the superb sonic quality that they offer.

An electrostatic transducer is a speaker design that employs a high polymer film of several microns thick as the diaphragm for far less mass than paper or mylar cones or metal type diaphragms. Since electrostatic elements use no magnets, they are free from magnetic hysteresis distortion that is prominent in dynamic type headphones.

These headphones are incredible. In fact they are jaw-dropping good! The frequency response goes from 7 Hz on the low end to a high of 41kHz on the top. They are now my go-to pair of electrostatic headphones. They’re that good!
