The SR-007 series, comprising the SR-007 and SR-007A models, holds a pivotal place in the history of STAX earspeakers. Celebrated for its impeccable sound quality and comfortable fit, this high-end series has long been revered by audiophiles worldwide. Now, the SR-007S emerges as a new high-end model that leverages cutting-edge manufacturing technology while preserving the vintage aesthetic and sonic character that define the series.
Advanced Manufacturing Technology for Superior Sound
The SR-007S introduces a newly developed driver unit featuring refreshed diaphragms and fixed electrodes. This upgrade results in enhanced response and a clearer presentation of sound details, balancing brilliance with deep, resonant tones. Notably, the large circular fixed electrodes have been redesigned to be 20% smaller in diameter than previous models, with high-precision etching processes that refine the acoustic characteristics. These improvements culminate in a headphone that offers precise, detailed sound with a rich, resonant quality.
Innovative Anti-Resonance Structure (ARS)
A hallmark of the SR-X9000 flagship, the ARS (Anti-Resonance Structure) is now incorporated into the SR-007S. Crafted from a single piece of stainless steel without joints, the ARS arc effectively eliminates unwanted vibrations and enhances structural rigidity. This results in cleaner sound reproduction and greater stability. Additionally, the movable hinge sections improve overall fit and comfort, while the rubber padding maintains a seamless, adjustment-free experience akin to previous models.
Upgraded Sheepskin Ear Pads for Better Comfort
The SR-007S features newly developed sheepskin ear pads that retain the traditional rotating design, accommodating a wide range of head shapes for optimal comfort. The natural breathability and softness of sheepskin contribute to vivid, dignified sound. Improvements include a more sound-absorbent inner lining, which enhances quietness and sound perspective, creating a broader and more precise soundscape. Finished in a vintage-inspired brown tone, the ear pads reinforce the classic aesthetic of the series.
Re-Cable Structure for Versatility and Maintenance
To enhance usability, the SR-007S adopts a detachable, re-cable structure. This design not only allows for easy replacement and upgrades with high-grade cables but also simplifies maintenance, making it easier to address accidental disconnections. Such flexibility ensures the headphones remain versatile and future-proof, catering to audiophiles seeking longevity and customization.
