What customers say
The Stax SR 007 Omega II Mk2 offers an exceptional and deeply engaging sound experience. Reviewers consistently praise its rich organic signature and effortless clarity, particularly with complex audio passages.

Know before you buy
Yes, because these are electrostatic headphones, they require a dedicated Stax driver unit or an electrostatic-compatible amplifier. They cannot be plugged into a standard headphone jack or a typical desktop DAC/amp.
Absolutely. The SR-007 Mk2 features sheepskin earpads and a real-leather headband, which provide high-quality comfort for extended use. The open-back design also helps prevent ear fatigue by allowing air to circulate.
The SR-007 Mk2 is known for a warmer, more intimate sound profile with deeper bass extension compared to the more analytical, bright signature of other Stax models. It offers a rich, full-bodied listening experience that excels with acoustic and vocal-heavy music.
These are open-back headphones, meaning they do not provide noise cancellation and will leak sound in both directions. They are best suited for quiet, controlled environments like a home studio or a dedicated listening room.
The deluxe flight case is designed to provide maximum protection for your headphones during storage or transport. Given the precision engineering of electrostatic drivers, this case ensures your equipment remains safe from physical damage and dust.
Yes, the earpads are designed to be adjustable and can be replaced. Using genuine Stax replacement pads is recommended to maintain the specific acoustic seal and comfort levels intended by the manufacturer.
