Product details

Edifier, Audeze and STAX have packed their extensive knowledge into the STAX Spirit S3 headphones. STAX was founded in 1938 and has been providing high-definition headphones for professional and audiophile
use ever since. Together with Edifier's extensive expertise in providing premium audio solutions and Audeze's market-leading technologies, the three audio titans have reached a level for magnetostat headphones.

Audeze's proprietary magnetic planar drivers, together with premium acoustic components, deliver outstanding sound with immersive sonic character. Thanks to these optimal features, movies and complex musical compositions can be enjoyed with high fidelity and resolution. The headphones feature carbon fibre components to reduce weight and a headband and ear pads trimmed in genuine lambskin leather for fatigue-free listening. Plush and softer Cooling Mesh ear pads are also included for added comfort on the go.

Enjoy up to 80 hours of continuous playback and recharge the headphones within 2 hours. Use the buttons on the side of the housing to manage calls, adjust the volume and control playback. In addition, a QCC5141 microprocessor provides minimal latency and clear voice quality for calling and gaming.
