STAX Omega SR-007 Reference MK 2

The SR-007 Mk2 headphones are the pinnacle of the Stax range. These audiophile headphones utilize electrostatic panel technology. Thanks to their large emissive surface area, the listener is immersed in a musical ambiance that is incomparable to the transducers of traditional headphones. The diaphragms of these headphones are the best in the Stax lineup - the thinnest and most conductive. The uniformity is absolutely perfect, which promotes an extremely homogeneous distribution and an absence of distortion and resonances that are detrimental to the reproduction.

As an evolution of the SR-007, the Mk2 is distinguished by increased dynamic capacity, obtained while maintaining exceptional linearity. The modulation cable has also been improved and sees its inductance significantly reduced. This new version is even more breathtaking than its predecessor. The main characteristic of the listening experience is absolute transparency across the entire audio spectrum, as well as an absence of dragging in the bass. In a word, the listening is stunning. The Stax SR-007 Mk2 deserves to be paired with the brand’s best dedicated amplifiers.

Little known to the general public, the Stax brand, renowned among audiophiles around the world, manufactures some of the very best hi-fi headphones in the utmost discretion. To achieve this, the Japanese manufacturer, which has just celebrated its fiftieth anniversary, has chosen the costly technology of electrostatic cells rather than the electrodynamic transducers found on the vast majority of other headphones on the market. Stax headphones are therefore resolutely high-end products, with extremely meticulous and luxurious manufacturing, partly done by hand according to the rules of craftsmanship with the noblest materials (leather, precious metals and alloys). They are aimed at aesthetes who are looking for the ultimate in portable hi-fi.
