STAX Launches the SR-007S Electrostatic Earspeaker with Advanced Sound Precision

Experience unmatched audio clarity and comfort with STAX’s new SR-007S electrostatic earspeaker, setting a new benchmark in sound detail and design.

Introducing the SR-007S: The Next Chapter in SR-007 Series Excellence

STAX SR-007S Earspeaker

The sleek and refined STAX SR-007S electrostatic earspeaker

Tokyo-based STAX Ltd., a trailblazer in electrostatic audio technology, has unveiled the eagerly awaited SR-007S, the newest iteration of its esteemed SR-007 headphone series. Scheduled for release on June 30, 2025, the SR-007S builds upon the legacies of the original SR-007 and SR-007A models with groundbreaking engineering and design enhancements designed to deliver an audiophile-grade listening experience.

At its core, the SR-007S features meticulous craftsmanship with newly developed diaphragms and finely tuned fixed electrodes. These improvements sharpen sound detail clarity across the entire frequency range while maintaining the deep, resonant tones that fans of the SR-007 series have cherished for years.

Precision Engineering for Unrivaled Acoustic Performance

One of the standout upgrades in the SR-007S is STAX’s use of an advanced high-precision etching process. This innovation reduces the air vent hole diameter of the fixed electrodes by a notable 20% compared to previous models. This seemingly small adjustment optimizes airflow, resulting in a sound profile that is both immersive and astonishingly accurate, delivering audio that truly captivates.

"The new SR-007S earspeaker is a leap forward in electrostatic audio technology, combining tradition with innovation to elevate listening pleasure."

– STAX Ltd.

Enhanced Comfort Meets Iconic Design

Drawing inspiration from the flagship SR-X9000, the SR-007S introduces a distinctive arc crafted from a seamless stainless steel plate. This design feature enhances rigidity and significantly reduces unwanted vibrations, allowing for purer sound reproduction.

Comfort is paramount, and the SR-007S does not disappoint. The innovative movable hinge section adapts to fit a variety of head shapes, while the rubber material on the head pad attachment preserves that signature snug, adjustment-free fit that the 007 series is known for. The rotating earpads, made of genuine sheepskin for skin contact and artificial leather around the edges, guarantee an adaptable fit that maximizes comfort while dampening unwanted sound reflections.

The redesigned inner earpad further absorbs acoustic energy, creating a broader and more precise soundstage that envelops the listener in an expansive audio experience. Finished in the classic STAX brown, the aesthetic pays tribute to the series’ rich heritage.

Detachable Cable System for Flexibility and Longevity

Keeping pace with modern user needs, the SR-007S sports a detachable cable design that streamlines maintenance and extends the product’s lifespan. The included OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) parallel 6-strand wide cable boasts ultra-low capacitance, ensuring pristine signal transmission and superior audio fidelity.
