Stax was formed in 1938 in Japan and in 1960 they released their first electrostatic Headphone or ‘Earspeaker’ as they are better known. Being an electrostatic design, a Stax Earspeaker requires an energiser unit to drive them making it a complete package. Over the last 50 years Stax have refined their designs making them the leaders in electrostatic headphones and arguably the leaders in high performance headphones today.
