The Stax SR-404 Signature is an electrostatic headphone model designed to deliver an exceptional audio experience, particularly in the mid and high frequency ranges. These headphones feature an innovative design that emphasizes precision and detail in sound reproduction, making them ideal for audiophiles and listeners seeking high clarity in their audio. The SR-404 utilizes a large planar diaphragm, which helps in minimizing distortion and enhancing transient response, providing a clear and engaging listening experience. The ear pads are made of comfortable, soft materials that allow for extended wear without discomfort. The frequency response ranges from 7 Hz to 42 kHz, showcasing the capability to reproduce both deep bass and high treble frequencies effectively. The impedance is 145 kΩ, which requires an appropriate amplification solution to drive them effectively, often in the form of dedicated electrostatic amplifiers. These headphones are often praised for their natural sound signature and the three-dimensional soundstage they create, making them favorites for critical listening environments.
