Stax SR-007Mk2

The top Stax option in terms of musicality, the Stax SR-007MK2 is a full sized audiophile-class electrostatic headphone. Featuring a never before seen body type the Japanese-made 007 ranks among headphones just as the British-made 007 ranks among experts in espionage. Due to the fact that this headphone was designed for listening to music, audio professionals may find it too coloured. For more neutrality look into the Stax 4070. Sadly, due to its electrostatic nature, the SR-007 terminates in a 5pin pro bias connector, and requires a compatible amp system to work.
