SR-L700 MKII Electrostatic Headphones

The Stax SR-L700 MKII Electrostatic Headphones stand at the pinnacle of Stax’s “Advanced Lambda” series, delivering an unparalleled level of audio fidelity. These open-back “earspeakers” utilize an advanced electrostatic sound element, featuring the same hand-selected thin-film diaphragm from the flagship SR-009 and multi-layer stainless stators for astonishing clarity, speed, and detail across a vast 7 Hz−41,000 Hz frequency range. The MKII version boasts crucial enhancements: detachable cables crafted from 6N OFC with silver coating (identical to the SR-009S cable) ensure pristine signal transmission. Robust aluminum case holders (yokes) replace previous plastic, improving durability, fit, and bass response. Genuine lamb leather earpads and a 10-click adjustable headband provide supreme comfort for extended listening. Requiring a dedicated 580V DC Pro bias electrostatic amplifier, the SR-L700 MKII excels in producing a transparent, dynamic, and expansive soundstage with pinpoint imaging and an uncolored sonic signature. It offers a taste of Stax’s ultimate performance, making it a reference choice for discerning audiophiles.
