Edifier, Audeze, and STAX have combined their extensive knowledge in the STAX Spirit S3 headphones. Founded in 1938, STAX has been providing high-resolution headphones for professional and audiophile use ever since. Together with Edifier's expertise in delivering premium audio solutions and Audeze's market-leading technologies, these three audio titans have reached a new level for magnetostatic headphones.
The magnetic planar drivers developed by Audeze and top-notch acoustic components ensure outstanding sound with an immersive audio character. Thanks to these optimal features, movies and complex musical compositions can be enjoyed with high fidelity and resolution. The headphones are equipped with carbon fiber components to reduce weight and feature a headband wrapped in genuine lamb leather, as well as ear cushions for fatigue-free listening. Plusher and softer cooling mesh ear cushions are also included for added comfort on the go.
Enjoy up to 80 hours of uninterrupted playback and recharge the headphones within 2 hours. The side buttons on the housing allow you to manage calls, adjust the volume, and control playback. Additionally, a QCC5141 microprocessor provides minimal latency and clear voice quality during phone calls and gaming.
