Verdict

The Stax SR-007MK2 is a premier open-back electrostatic earspeaker featuring a push-pull circular sound element, a wide frequency response of 6Hz to 41kHz, and a 580V DC pro-bias voltage requirement. Known for its rich, warm, and lush tonality, it offers an exceptionally realistic midrange and a punchy, detailed bass response facilitated by a unique gold-plated electrode structure and 170kΩ impedance (at 10kHz). While it provides outstanding transparency and a non-fatiguing treble, its main drawbacks include the necessity for a powerful, dedicated electrostatic amplifier and a soundstage that is more intimate than expansive compared to other flagship models.
