Edifier revive legendary Japanese audio brand STAX with new Spirit S3 Planar headphones

STAX was a legendary Japanese audio brand which Edifier acquired in 2011. Best known for developing the first ever electrostatic headphones, or “Earspeakers”, the name ‘STAX’ has been at the forefront of every major sonic innovation since 1938.

The S3 builds upon this renowned legacy. Inspired by the delicacy of exceedingly more expensive electrostatic technology, the Edifier STAX Spirit S3 achieves a level of audio fidelity previously unheard of at this consumer level (£399.99).

Designed with audio professionals and enthusiasts in mind, the S3 set a high technical threshold using finely tuned Planar technology. Planar combines both the benefits of a Dynamic and Balanced Armature Driver to achieve exceedingly detailed lower frequencies and clearer, more consistent high frequency performance. Utilising a combination of Snapdragon audio technology; three patented planar driver solutions; Hi-Res Audio technology and innovative acoustic-friendly materials, the S3 delivers a truly memorable, lossless and low distortion audio experience.
