Stax SR-007MK2 Open-Back Electrostatic Earspeaker

Don't even dare call these headphones. These are earspeakers baby!! Electrostatic ones no less. If you have never experienced the sound of electrostatic speakers before, you don't know what you are missing. The sound is crystal clear, the warmth is breathtaking, but my favorite part is the sounds becomes multi-dimensional. I've not listened to these earspeakers, but I'm sure they are just out of this world.... if you can afford them. For my budget, I'll stick with the incredible AKG K701's.

STAX SRS-007MK2 Electrostatic Headphone System

SR-007MK2 Open-Back Electrostatic Earspeaker   Powerful Sound with Utmost Delicacy The rationale is the development of the new SR-007MK2 Earspeaker was to provide deep powerful sound previously unobtainable in Earspeakers. STAX engineers developed a unique new electrode structure. Visible through the outer case, gold plated on the outer edge this new electrode has no holes unlike conventional STAX Earspeakers and thus provides an increases diaphragm vibration area allowing for rich and powerful sound yet retaining all the delicacy STAX is famous for.   Rigid Metal Housing To maintain clear distortion free sound it is most important that nothing other than the diaphragm should vibrate. Within the STAX SR-007MK2 the sound element is encased in a thick insulated resin case firmly fixed to the rigid body. The results are nothing short of spectacular.   Fully Adjustable Earpads Utmost comfort for maximum enjoyment of your STAX SR-007MK2 is provided with earpads that are fully adjustable to the shape of your head that are made of genuine sheep skin..     SR-007MK2 Specification   Type :Push-Pull Open Back Electrostatic Headphone Frequency Response :6 - 41,000Hz Impedance :170k Ohms (10kHz) Sensitivity :100dB / 100V r.m.s. 1 kHz Bias Voltage :580V DC Left & Right Channel Identification :Left (L) and Right (R) indicators are provided at the cable entrance points on the Earspeakers.

This is thus virtually the only replay system that enables the listener to enjoy replay unique to balance transmission without the need to pass through a transformer or inversion amplifier.   Heater Power Supply Adopting a rectifier circuits combining low-noise, low-loss Schottky barrier diodes and large electrolytic capacitors. Low-ripple DC power source improves the SN ratio.   Output Stage A simple two-stage amplifier configuration using high-voltage dual triode tube 6FQ7(6CG7) delivers straightforward properties that are transparent and clear sound quality.   Input Stage Employs Hand pick low noise FET and 6 acoustic high sound quality relays.

Pioneer introduces new Top-Of-The-Line HDJ-2000 Headphones ... $450 !!

Pioneer must be immune to the economy crisis...

PIONEER HDJ-2000 HEADPHONES COMBINE PERFORMANCE AND MAXIMUM COMFORT
New Headphones Designed Specifically for Top DJs & Remix Producers

LONG BEACH (October 16, 2008) – Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc.’s Professional Sound and Visual Division, the leader in ProDJ products and the innovator of the CDJ and DVJ turntables, today unveiled the new reference model, HDJ-2000, the latest addition to its popular, professional DJ headphone series.

The development of the Pioneer HDJ-2000 stems from numerous requests from top DJs around the world desiring headphones with:

Exceptional high-quality sound that clearly and accurately reproduces audio

Comfortable fit to minimize fatigue from long periods of use

High durability that withstands demanding conditions and touring

“Our engineers put great care and thought into every aspect of our product line; from our scratch emulation technology to headphone features, we place a strong emphasis on design, sound quality, and overall performance.” said Matt Dever, vice president of Pioneer’s Professional Sound and Visual Division. “These new headphones are a testament to our dedication to elevating the user and artist experience.”

Accurate Sound Quality
The headphone is uniquely designed to improve sound quality and reliability—perfect for use in DJ environments and studios.

Thick 35μ? Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) diaphragm improves rigidity and strength needed for better lower frequency response.

PET material used in the diaphragm also helps to dampen unwanted resonance.
Wide frequency response with high clarity and detail results from a large 50mm driver, ideal for all types of music.

Additionally, the headphones have an enclosed “over-ear" design with ear pads that seal around the user’s ears, reducing ambient noise and providing superior sound isolation for tracking in a loud club environment or a studio. The ear pad’s unique material, memory foam (Polyurethane foam), provides a tight yet comfortable seal, further enhancing sound reproduction especially in the mid to high frequency ranges.

Maximum Comfort for Extended Wear
The HDJ-2000’s lightweight construction and soft comfortable ear pads are ideal for long listening/recording sessions and reduce the well-known phenomenon of “headphone fatigue.” The headphones feature:

“Protein Leather”(1) Wrapped Pads - provide durability while making long use of the headphones more comfortable.

Low-rebound memory foam(2) - used inside the ear pads and head pad, contouring to the shape of the head and maintaining a snug fit.

Magnesium alloy components - used in the main body components to achieve both a lightweight and durable design to minimize stress on the user’s head and ensure comfortable DJ play.

Sturdy, Stylish Design and Construction

The HDJ-2000 employs a Mini XLR connection to join the main body with the nearly ten feet of cable to achieve both a quality “sound” connection and easy replacement. With a new i-type hinge, a smooth and integral form has been achieved that naturally fits the hands at any time during DJ performance. The headphone’s ear pads have a spun finish aluminum ring that matches the design of Pioneer’s CDJ players’ “play/cue” buttons for a cohesive stylish design.

Other Functions

Folding Structure: The headphones fold into a compact configuration for portability and storage.

Swivel Mechanism: The ear cups turn 90 degrees for more convenient single-ear or on-shoulder monitoring use. A torsion system returns the ear-cup to its normal position after each use.

Click Mechanism: Ear cups and hinges gently click into place to prevent inadvertent rotation or folding of the headphones during use.

Mono/Stereo Switch: Combines the audio signal for single-ear monitoring.

Carrying Bag: A soft pouch is included to protect the headphones when not in use.

The HDJ-2000 will be available in December 2008 with a manufacturer suggested retail price of $450.
