Edifier Stax Spirit S3 review: maybe the best-sounding wireless headphones you can get

 

Edifier Stax Spirit 3 showcase everything that makes planar magnetic designs that bit better than regular dynamic drivers

Detailed, expansive, engaging and zealous listen ; Light, comfortable, foldable design ; Incredible battery life

No active noise cancellation ; App is acceptable rather than comprehensive

Edifier Stax Spirit S3 offer a beautifully detailed, expansive and energetic listen that lasts and lasts – for days. As long as the lack of active noise cancellation on the spec sheet doesn't bother you, they're a winning (and great looking) set of...

Edifier Stax Spirit S3 review: planar magnetic magic

 

A wireless take on planar tech with high quality codecs in tow. The Stax Spirit S3 promises detail like little else for the price

Finely balanced and detailed sound ; Excellent battery life ; Supremely comfy with two pairs of ear cups

No active noise cancellation ; EQ settings could be clearer ; Needs power even for wired listening

A delightful-sounding, wonderfully comfortable pair of wireless on-ears with high quality codec support. The lack of ANC will dissuade commuters, but the sonic clarity is among the best around for the price.

Edifier Stax Spirit S3 review: Great planar sound at an accessible price

 

The Edifier Stax Spirit S3 are planar magnetic over-ear headphones that offer stunningly good sound, making their relatively high price seem like a bargain.

Excellent sound quality Very comfy fit Two sets of ear cushions Solid call quality Outstanding battery life Great app support

No ANC or ambient mode No EQ in app Volume levels low in wired mode

“Put 'em on and you won't regret one cent of their lofty price.”

Edifier Stax Spirit S3 Review

 

Accurate detail, excellent dynamics, and rich bass ; Comfortable fit with two different earpad options ; Wired and wireless listening

Expensive ; No AAC support or adjustable EQ ; Uninspired design

The planar magnetic Edifier Stax Spirit S3 headphones offer hi-res streaming with excellent sound quality for Android users, but no AAC support for Apple devices.

Edifier Stax Spirit S3 headphones

 

The Edifier Stax Spirit S3 is among the most accurate headphones we've auditioned, strong through all registers without over-emphasizing any. It's also the most compact planar magnetic headphone we've tested.

Superbly balanced planar magnetic sound ; Pleasantly compact for a headphone with planar magnetic drivers ; Bluetooth 5.2 ; Supports aptX Adaptive codec

No active noise cancellation (ANC) ; Must be powered even for wired use

The Edifier Stax Spirit S3 is a pricey headphone, but it delivers excellent sonic performance thanks in part to its planar magnetic drivers. It’s surprisingly compact for a PM headphone, but if you want active noise cancellation, you’ll need to look...

Excellent design ; Coherent imaging ; Nice portable size

Lacks bass response ; Nasal upper mids

The Edifier Stax Spirit S3 has a balanced sound signature, which seems to be the most common variant of tone and presentation in the last few years for headphones of this design type.

Edifier Stax Spirit S3 Headphones Review: Planar Magnetic Drivers For the Win

 

Headphones with planar magnetic drivers are typically (but not always) super expensive, but Edifier's Stax Spirit S3 cans offer a relatively affordable, compact alternative. These headphones boast quite a bit, and I'm happy to say they live up to the...

Full, well-balanced sound ; Extremely long battery life ; Option of wired and wireless listening

No Active Noise Cancellation ; Wired mode still uses battery ; Pretty pricey
