It was obvious from the moment I received the package for my review unit of the Edifier Stax Spirit S3 headphones that I was dealing with a premium-range product. Coming in a premium protective carry case, nestled inside a textured box, itself slid into a sturdy tray-like shell, Edifier wants to make sure that your purchase feels as substantial for your senses as it does for your wallet.
I received a pair of these to test over a period of a couple of months, to use in everyday situations, during video calls, when travelling and when hobby-editing some audio and video for my own enjoyment, all to see whether the Stax Spirit belongs the best headphones for video-editing on the market today. It won't make it among the best noise-cancelling headphones purely because it doesn't have noise-cancellation, but can its other qualities make up for it?
