This Special Edition black version of the STAX SR-009 has the same amazing sound as the original model, detailed below, but very few will ever be made. Get it now while you can! Since its launch the SR-009 has stood at the forefront of headphone audio, with a detail reproduction and open sound that is rarely, if ever matched. The blindingly quick electrostatic diaphragms offer a musical reproduction many find transcendent, especially with well-recorded unamplified music. When powered by the HeadAmp Blue Hawaii SE, the SR-009BK delivers its optimal performance, including deep bass that other electrostatic headphones can’t reproduce. In our opinion, it is one of the very finest listening experiences possible, and the SR-009BK/Blue Hawaii system must be heard to be believed.
