A Legend Returns: The Legendary SR-009D Electrostatic Headphones!

This re-release of the iconic SR-009, which set the benchmark for high-end audio for almost a decade, is a direct response to overwhelming demand from audiophiles and music lovers worldwide.

The SR-009D is the revival of a classic, updated with modern features for improved usability and durability. It retains the same groundbreaking technology that made the original an industry benchmark, while integrating essential improvements consistent with the current STAX product range.
