The Stax SR-L500MK2 Electrostatic Headphones embody Stax’s commitment to high-fidelity audio, offering a refined electrostatic experience within their popular “Advanced Lambda” series. These open-back earspeakers utilize a push-pull electrostatic oval sound element with a hand-selected thin-film diaphragm and durable stainless fixed electrodes, delivering a balanced and highly detailed sound from 7 Hz to 41,000 Hz.

Key enhancements in the MK2 version include detachable HiFCâ„¢ (High-Performance Pure Copper) cables for improved signal transmission and user convenience, along with robust aluminum case holders (yokes) that replace the previous plastic, enhancing durability, fit, and low-frequency response. High-quality synthetic leather earpads and a 10-click adjustable headband ensure superb comfort for extended listening. With a sensitivity of 101 dB and requiring Stax’s standard 580V DC Pro bias, the SR-L500MK2 offers Stax’s signature speed, transparency, and expansive soundstage. It provides a more robust and refined build than the SR-L300, delivering a compelling blend of performance and value as a true mid-range electrostatic champion, though it requires a dedicated electrostatic amplifier to function.

Top Quality Sound Element
Hand selected thin-film diaphragm as well as tough stainless fixed electrodes has been employed for the SR-L500. Thus, rich deep bass response, delicate high frequency and soothing mid-range has been achieved in a balanced manner.

10-Click Type Headband Assembly
The headband (ARC) assembly of the SR-L500 is equipped with 10-click slider mechanism for head pad height adjustment adopted from SR-009 and SR-507. Once adjusted, the slider always maintains its optimal position to make readjustment unnecessary. This enables you to enjoy hours of pleasant music listening with utmost comfort.

New Low Capacitance HIFC Wide Cable
High performance pure copper HiFC™ developed by Hitachi employs the core wires. HiFC has various advantages, including similar sonic characteristics as used in SR-009 and SR-L500 6N high purity 99.99999% copper wires. The entire cable are then arranged in a flat, wide format configuration to lower the capacitance between each wires and finished with the most suitable structure to drive the earspeaker.

New High Quality Synthetic Leather Earpads:
New earpad design is carefully hand crafted with high quality synthetic leather for utmost comfort for hours of music enjoyment as well as sound performance.
