Why Choose the Stax SR-L500MK2 Electrostatic Headphones?

Evolving the Lambda series, the Stax SR-L500MK2 Electrostatic Headphones are dubbed “Earspeakers” by Stax. This term highlights their electrostatic design, which delivers a speaker-like soundstage with exceptional clarity directly to your ears, setting them apart from traditional headphones.

They feature a thin-film diaphragm with stainless fixed electrodes for a naturally balanced sound. HomeTheaterHiFi in 2024 noted their ability to bring “goosebumps and a transcendental experience,” ideal for classical music and live recordings.

The sound element ensures rich bass, smooth mids, and clear highs for a harmonious audio experience. With a frequency response of 7 Hz to 41 kHz, every nuance in your music is captured with precision.

Weighing only 351 g, they’re designed for comfort with a 10-click headband adjustment system. High-quality synthetic leather earpads provide a soft, comfortable fit for hours of listening.

Need a cable that won’t tangle during your listening sessions? The SR-L500MK2’s detachable 2.5 m HiFC cable uses a wide-format design, reducing capacitance by 10% for a purer signal transfer.

Electrostatic headphones like these require a dedicated energizer to unlock their full potential. This setup ensures their fast transients and open soundstage are fully experienced.
