- I wanted a planar magnetic wireless headphone to be able to enjoy while out and about. I don\'t really care about having an app with a headphone, so the rather bare bones app that Edifier supplies is more than adequate for me. I love the fact that you can choose between three sound modes right on the headphones. Even though there is no noise cancelling, sound isolation is sufficient for me, even when riding on trains to commute. And I love the punchy bass this headphone has. Combine that with the fantastic mids and airy treble, and I am very happy so far.Now, I debating giving this headphone a 3 or a 4 star. The reason is that this headphone creaks like nobody\'s business around the earcups. I can usually ignore it, but sometimes it gets to the point I just want to take these off and jump on them and smash them into pieces. I gave these 4 stars because when the creaking isn\'t being overly annoying, they do sound great and I find them to be very comfortable. However, I almost made this a 3-star review by taking off one star for the creaking and then another star for Edifier being completely shameful in knowingly releasing a $400 pair of headphones that CREAKS!!!! I refuse to believe they did not know that the plastic joints where the earcups meets the rest of the headphone that swivel was very prone to ridiculous amounts of creak. However, this review is being written on Christmas Eve, so joy and good will to man, and all that other stuff, therefore Edifier gets a 4-star though they probably deserve a 3-star. Anyway, if you can get past the creaking, or if you get lucky and get one of the sets that do not creak, then you should be perfectly satisfied with what you get.
- A lot of people are giving very bad review about the build quality. Yes, it\'s not built using many premium materials (but has carbon fiber in the front of the ear cups). It feels a bit plasticky, for sure. Can it be better? Yes. But, is it too bad? No. When I wore them I did experience creaking noises coming from the right ear cup. I was a bit frustrated but then I realized that due to the shape of my head the right ear cup was not resting at the right angle. So, with an adjustment to the fit, the creaking noise stopped or reduced. This is where it makes it a bit frustrating time to time. This is an awesome headphone but with this minor flaw. For the price it\'s selling , this is unacceptable but I love the sound quality and the general understated aesthetics of this headphone. So, I am going to keep them. If the creaking becomes too unbearable then I will return it and go for a premium one (like, B&W PX8 or M&D MW75).
- I had reviewed these cans for the Amazon Vine Program back in July, giving them just three stars for their sterile, midrange-forward sound.Then my review disappeared from the product page. Had Edifier removed it?I have since been monitoring the reviews for these headphones to see if others were hearing the same harsh, fatiguing sound I was reporting.No, apparently I was in the minority.So I decided to try these cans again, reinstalling the Edifier Connect app in my Android phone.This time, I\'m happy to say, the sound seems to have been improved, although I still find the midrange rather prominent and fatiguing.Previously, I could hear no difference between the three equalization settings in the app. This time I found the Classic setting warmer, closer to a sound I would expect from headphones costing this much.But when I did some A/B comparisons with the Jabra Elite 85h cans I have in the house, I still prefer the Jabra\'s, which also have ANC and cost $150 less.So I really can\'t recommend the Spirit S3\'s to anyone but the most rabid midrange hounds.There are just too many other great over-the-ear headphones for less money...And did I mention earbuds with better sound, ANC, and a more compact and convenient form factor? The truth is, I would prefer to wear and listen to the 1More EVO\'s, the Devialet Gemini\'s, the Sony WF-1000XM3\'s, or the Sudio E2\'s any day or night over the Spirit S3\'s.To summarize, then, regardless of the S3\'s nice packaging or high price or exotic technology, I think that this particular emperor is as naked as a jaybird!
- No squeaking with my pair as some of the so called review experts have stated. The sound from these headphones are by far the best I have listened too. I listened to the focal bathys and the Egdiffier Stax to me are far superior sounding. I have learned over the past few years enjoying this hobby that most of the so called experts doing the audio reviews are just trying to sell product and that you can take to the bank and deposit it.
- Exceptional sound quality, better than px8, bathys, xm5, airpd max if you don\'t want ANC or transparency mode or dac on usbc.Comfort is good up to 6hrs string, included leather and cloth earpads are good for cold and warm weather.Excellent batter.Connectivity is as expected, no drops observed, able to connect to multiple devices.Again no ANC or Transparency mode.
- Noise cancelling not as good as my ole Bose headset.
- It looks like I have the honor of writing the first Amazon review. I bought these cans based on numerous professional reviews. I was looking for a better headphone for my desktop setup. I\'m currently running a 2013 MacBook with Amazon Music. Then ports through USB to a Cambridge Audio DAC. These headphones sound absolutely phenomenal. The detail and sonic range are very impressive. The detail- OMG. This is my first pair of planar magnetic headphones so maybe its the technology. These really open up the music. I\'m hearing new things in songs I have hear hundreds of times.Only complaint so far- they can\'t be plugged in to power and turn on at the same time. I thought mine were defective at first.
- Audio systems hi fi on your ears can hear what others can\'t hear
