Electrostatic headphones STATEX

STATEX's electrostatic headphones impress with their exceptional detailed accuracy, precise sound reproduction, and impressive spatial depth.

The adjustable headband and replaceable ear cushions ensure a high level of comfort—even during long listening sessions. Weighing just 390 g and featuring a 1.8 m cable, these headphones combine comfort with excellent everyday practicality.

Unlike conventional headphones, electrostatic headphones require a dedicated high-voltage drive system. They must therefore be operated with a suitable electrostatic headphone amplifier that provides the required bias voltage and signal drive. When correctly matched, the system allows the extremely lightweight electrostatic diaphragm to respond rapidly and accurately to changes in the audio signal, enabling a highly detailed and precise reproduction.

 

Mobile Amplifier — Unbound Listening

 

The STATEX portable amplifier has been specifically developed to drive electrostatic headphones in a compact, portable format. It combines the necessary electrostatic drive electronics with a compact enclosure, allowing the headphones to be used independently of a stationary amplifier system.

Description

Advanced Engineering & Technology

With their 99 mm dri­vers, STATEX head­pho­nes deli­ver an excep­tio­nal­ly trans­pa­rent, natu­ral lis­tening expe­ri­ence, exten­ding the fre­quen­cy ran­ge to an impres­si­ve 100 kHz. With a sen­si­ti­vi­ty of 101 dB and a mini­mum requi­red bias vol­ta­ge of 500 V, they are engi­nee­red for dis­cer­ning lis­ten­ers who expect uncom­pro­mi­sing performance.

At the heart of every STATEX elec­tro­sta­tic head­pho­ne lies an ultra-light­weight dia­phragm made from a film just 2 micro­me­ters thick, sus­pen­ded bet­ween two pre­cis­e­ly per­fo­ra­ted metal sta­tors. A high elec­tri­cal vol­ta­ge, com­bi­ned with careful­ly con­trol­led modu­la­ti­on, sets the dia­phragm into moti­on, moving the sur­roun­ding air to crea­te sound.

Becau­se the dia­phragm is ligh­ter than the air it moves, it can respond to the inco­ming signal with extra­or­di­na­ry speed and pre­cis­i­on. The result is a remar­kab­ly fast, detail­ed, and natu­ral pre­sen­ta­ti­on, with excep­tio­nal­ly low levels of colo­ra­ti­on and dis­tor­ti­on. Every nuan­ce of the music is repro­du­ced with cla­ri­ty, deli­ca­cy, and accuracy.

 

Precision Craftsmanship & Meticulous Tuning

Every pair of STATEX head­pho­nes is indi­vi­du­al­ly matched to ensu­re the two ear­pie­ces per­form with excep­tio­nal con­sis­ten­cy. This pre­cise matching crea­tes a high­ly accu­ra­te ste­reo image, allo­wing voices and instru­ments to occu­py a natu­ral, con­vin­cing posi­ti­on within the soundstage—particularly reve­al­ing with mono recor­dings and vocal performances.

Only careful­ly sel­ec­ted, natu­ral, and dura­ble mate­ri­als are used in their con­s­truc­tion, inclu­ding wal­nut, car­bon fiber, lea­ther, and alu­mi­num. Envi­ron­men­tal­ly con­scious, odor-free finis­hes com­ple­ment the pre­mi­um mate­ri­als while reflec­ting STA­TEX­’s com­mit­ment to meti­cu­lous craft­sman­ship and respon­si­ble manufacturing.

 

Portable Amplifier – High-Quality Sound on the Go

The STATEX por­ta­ble ampli­fier for elec­tro­sta­tic head­pho­nes is the ide­al solu­ti­on for audio­phi­les who value the hig­hest sound qua­li­ty and mobi­li­ty. This inno­va­ti­ve device com­bi­nes powerful tech­no­lo­gy with a com­pact, tra­vel-fri­end­ly design, deli­ve­ring rich, clear sound—wherever you want to enjoy your music.

Thanks to its com­pact design, the ampli­fier can be easi­ly car­ri­ed in a back­pack or even a pocket. The built-in, rech­ar­geable bat­tery allows long lis­tening ses­si­ons wit­hout the need of a power cable. The ampli­fier was spe­ci­fi­cal­ly deve­lo­ped for elec­tro­sta­tic head­pho­nes and ensu­res clear, detail­ed sound repro­duc­tion with mini­mal distortion.

Its intui­ti­ve ope­ra­ti­on and simp­le set­up make the ampli­fier sui­ta­ble for both beg­in­ners and expe­ri­en­ced audiophiles.

Cable Sheathing

The cable sheathing is made of natu­ral cot­ton, which was cho­sen for its sof­ter tex­tu­re and its abili­ty to dam­pen mecha­ni­cal­ly trans­mit­ted noi­se to the head­pho­nes. Com­pared to har­der poly­es­ter sheathing, the cot­ton sheathing redu­ces unwan­ted micro­pho­ne effects cau­sed by tou­ch­ing or moving the cable.
