A Premier Electrostatic Earspeaker System Featuring the Stax SR-X1 Headphones with the SRM-270S Driver!
The Ultimate Entry into Electrostatic Sound!
Designed for audiophiles eager to delve into the world of electrostatic earspeakers without compromise, the SRS-X1000 stands as a beacon of innovation and quality. As the successor to Stax's long-standing SRS-3100 electrostatic audio system, it pairs the brand-new SR-X1 earspeakers with the newly developed SRM-270S driver unit, setting a new benchmark for entry-level electrostatic audio systems.
The SRS-X1000 embodies a perfect fusion of tradition and innovation, offering an accessible yet uncompromised entry into the elite world of electrostatic earspeaker audio systems. Whether you're a long-time audiophile or exploring high-fidelity sound for the first time, the SRS-X1000 provides an unparalleled listening experience.
Priced to attract both new and experienced audiophiles, this introduces high-quality electrostatic sound technology, which has often been seen as a luxury, to a broader audience.
The sound was effortless, airy, and incredibly detailed. With voices and stringed instruments, there were times the STAX SRS-X1000 system took my breath away, so life-like and present, that my other headphones sounded a bit dense in comparison.
Audiophiles who haven't experienced electrostatic headphones should strongly consider adding this to their collection. If you're a fan of bright or 'v-shaped leaning towards bright' headphones and want a home listening headphone, I encourage you to get something like this.
