Electrostatic vs electromagnetic headphones
Hi experts,
I am looking for a pair of electrostatic headphones (as opposed to electromagnetic ones). Do you know where I could buy one? Good guys? Amazon? How do I recognize them by the way? Thanks a lot, Tony |

Electrostatic vs electromagnetic headphones
Hi experts,
I am looking for a pair of electrostatic headphones (as opposed to electromagnetic ones). Do you know where I could buy one? Good guys? Amazon? Unlikely you'd find 'em via either, I think. How do I recognize them by the way? There are very few brands of true electrostatic headphones on the market. The best-known brand (and in fact the only brand I'm aware of) is Stax. Do a Google search on "Stax headphones" and you'll find links to the manufacturer site and to various dealers. They tend to be fairly large (Stax calls many of their models "Earspeakers"). They require specialized driver-amps which provide the necessary high voltages. They're expensive (figure $200-$300 for the low-end Stax electrostatic 'phones, plus $200-$250 for the driver unit). -- Dave Platt AE6EO Hosting the Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |

I have a pair of AKG340's, which are electrostatic (electret), and also has a dynamic driver for LF. Regards Ian |
