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.
At every stage, the Stax system is an entertaining and insightful listen. Detail levels are extremely high across the board, so not even the minutiae of harmonic variation can escape them.
