These Stax set the standard for detail and clarity
Stax: SR-L700 Mk2/ SRM-700T

Headphones from ₹1,34,990

Stax launched the world’s first electrostatic headphones in 1960, laying the foundation for a richly deserved and glittering reputation that continues to this day.

There are two parts to this set-up: the SR-L700 Mk2 headphones, and the partnering SRM-700T energiser that drives them. You cannot use a conventional headphone amplifier with electrostatic headphones, as the voltages required are far higher than usual. These headphones are strictly for domestic use – their design is simply too large and cumbersome for portable use, and the need for an energiser means that mains power is a must.

These headphones may not be discreet, but they are wonderfully comfortable. At just over 370g, these Stax are pretty lightweight for high-end headphones. And those bluff-looking rectangular earpieces fit our ears well, having just the right amount of padding to make a good seal. The open-backed design leaks sound and provides no meaningful isolation from our surroundings, but it does prevent our ears from getting hot over longer listening sessions. And, let’s not forget, there is the sonic advantage an open design brings.

CLEAN AND PRECISE
