Edifier Stax S3: Not Your Typical $400 Headphones..

[@ronch550]

I just got my Stax Spirit S3. The moment you play your favorite track you immediately realize these are special. What you once thought were great headphones don't seem so great anymore. These headphones deliver clean, clear, crisp, accurate, rich audio. These are awesome, you'll never go back to your old headphones again. PS - it supports AAC.

where did you learn that it supports AAC?

[@ronch550]

@@nnnnnnnnnnnnmmm it says right on the box.

Great video. Have never tested planar headphones however the technology seems very interesting. Nice to see Edifier embracing this.

[@MartijnWester]

Me neither, but it's definitely an interesting technology and surprised me in a positive way! Thanks for the support Ziyaad!

[@memoli801]

It will change how you experience sound. You thought you had good sound already? You will think about to dispose that trash!

[@usmanabdulkadir3334]

Good to see you again Awesome content as always bro

[@MartijnWester]

Appreciate it!

[@reiverblade]

mmmh, genuine lamb leather is an imitation leather? first time i heard that x) (and yes these have lamb leather cushions and headband wrap) nice review anyway (also price of these is not an issue ... they have the same price of the, discontinued, Audeze LCD-1 which were wired and open back and also the same build, fitting for a successor who offer even more hehe.)

[@AndriiPyndyk]

I've never thought that i will see Stax branding again. As for planar magnetic to come under thousands of dollars is madness by Edifier (in a good manner)

[@MartijnWester]

It's definitely good to see Stax again, and now more accessible than ever before!

[@reiverblade]

STAX still exist and have a wide protfolio of e-stats and unit driver (well STAX Pro Bias current is 580V DC ) and the Audeze LCD-1 was also a 400$ planar magnetic headset :) but still Kudos to Edifier for these awesome wireless closed back LCD-1 revival (and STAX Spirit ... in the form of an EQ preset mode in the app ... which is about the only STAX thing in that product, mind you)

[@endrizo]

needs to be electrically ON to be used cably...mmm no. no other planar magnetic headphone needs that. and the posibility to use cable is precisely for when batt goes dead, a big fault here, i have edifier w855db (not planar) plug cable and thats it..,,i guess ill wait for the S5 they said these s3 are the first of a line. i also need LDAC, i know most planar magnetic need big nice amplification (have some) thats why i have my nice headphone amp, i guess these S3 are for people who dont know planar headphones. mmm thanks for the video and info.

[@Jo-jr4cc]

Tho it doesnt support AAC but it still possible to connect with iPhone right?

[@nkriggg2254]

what about the snapdragon sound, if users have mediatek or kirin SoC smartphone doest it work? And LDAC?

[@geekatari4391]

No LDAC. If your phone does not come with a Snapdragon chip with the Snapdragon Sound codec, it will use Aptx HD or Adaptive, which in my experience with this headphone was still pretty amazing.

[@user-mn4en8sf9j]

Stax for 400 bucks? Gimme two, please ☺️

[@reiverblade]

then get a SR-L300 (ok .... 455$ and you'd still need to add at least 945$ for the SRM-D10 driver ), these S3 have more in common with Audeze than STAX, although Edifier acquired STAX they "only" injected 4 mio $ in Audeze at some point (they are investor nonetheless), but right, the S3 are STAX in Spirit.
