Tech Review – TOZO S3 smartwatch

There is no shortage of smartwatches today and the good thing is for some the price has come down, there is high end like the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Watch 6 from Samsung I use and there is entry level and of course mid tier, how these shape out in features though is the thing for users and often the case they buy something they don’t need, then you have the likes of fitbits which for the most are just activity tracers not offering much else but you can now get smartwatches for under 5o euro that has it all and one of the best in this class is the latest from TOZO who are know for their audio products.

We have reviewed plenty of watches recently that look the same as this and has a similar software setup however this one goes further than most and is worth the spend with all the features there is on offer here. The you get an app that works on both iOS and Android packed with settings and again more than I have seen in the past.

So what do you get for your money here with the all new TOZO S3 smartwatch.. You get quite alot in fact for the money with this watch and as mentioned there is plenty like it and looking similar but this one stands out with features and has more than many I have tested in recent weeks here and I really like it.

We have all the fitness apps you expect to see here you have you can accept calls on this too which is a real bonus you have step counter, heart rate monitoring and much more which we go through in the video below as there is lots to see, you also have a watch face gallery and these are nice face and current one with today’s trends.

Now with a cheap smartwatch you do miss out on some features but in comparison to market leaders here you get quite a but more here the only real thing missing is not being able to reply to social and emails etc it is not a rich message experience however you can read everything fine here and the screen is bright and good outdoors.

Edifier’s STAX Spirit S3 and NeoBuds Pro take 3 prestigious awards at the VGP 2022 awards

The innovative and world-leading audio brand Edifier has picked up three awards at the prestigious Visual Grand Prix (VGP) 2022 in Japan: the brand new STAX Spirit S3 headphones were both a Gold Award and Special Prize Winner, whilst the NeoBuds Pro earbuds received the Grand Prize.

Known as the “Oscar in the Audio Industry”, the Japanese VGP Awards is the largest, most authoritative audio-visual awards in Asia. It is held on an annual-basis by Ongen Publishing Co., ltd., one of the most prominent publishing companies in Japan with an expertise in audio/visual related devices and state-of-art technologies. Launched in 1987, the awards bring together respected reviews from dozens of countries, all to offer an authoritative reference guide for ordinary consumers looking to make informed purchases. The VGPs are often recognised as the highest authority award in Asia’s audio-visual industry and mark a significant recognition for Edifier’s ground-breaking work in the industry.

“It’s always an immense privilege to receive accolades for our products, but receiving awards such as these, from a panel as prestigious as that found at the VGP Awards, is truly rewarding. As a company, we work extremely hard to be at the forefront of the audio-visual industry and our designers, testers and staff are incredibly proud to be recognised for this; especially when it comes from one of the most well-respected awards around,” said Stanley Wen, Edifier’s CTO.

Amongst the winners was the brand new STAX Spirit S3, Edifier’s first premium Hi-Fi headphone designed for audiophiles and the first product in their new STAX Spirit product line – which revives the legendary ‘Stax’ name whilst achieving absolute audio fidelity suitable for Hi-Fi enthusiasts, music lovers, musicians and producers alike. The NeoBuds Pro similarly marks a significant innovation for Edifier; the buds were one of the first Hi-Res certified earbuds in the world and have garnered a sea of overwhelmingly positive reviews from respected press outlets and influencers.

The VGP awards recognise products that make a difference to the industry through state of the art technology and design; Edifier strives for excellence, pushing the boundaries and leading by innovation to ensure people can enjoy the best premium quality audio for personal entertainment and professional use. After another successful year at the ceremony, Edifier will continue to produce an award-winning range of products.

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

Innovative audio specialists Edifier have released the S3, the brand’s first premium Hi-Fi headphone designed for audiophiles and the first product in their new STAX Spirit product line – which brings absolute audio fidelity firmly to the foreground for
Hi-Fi enthusiasts, music lovers, musicians and producers alike. For those who may not be familary, 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 continues in this tradition, and builds upon the name’s renowned legacy and pursuit of faithfully reproducing a ‘live’ sound.

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). 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.

Spirit S3 Planar headphones

With a total weight of approximately 329g, the S3 are also much lighter than traditional planar headphones and boast a carbon fibre casing to ensure a comfortable fit and extended durability. Adopting the latest in wireless technology, the headphones are equipped with the latest Bluetooth 5.2 which allows for faster, more reliable transmission speeds, and multi-connectivity (with users able to connect two devices simultaneously). And finally, the high-capacity lithium battery holds a mighty 80 hours of battery life – ensuring that you don’t get any unexpected interruptions whilst you’re laid out on your living room sofa or sat upright in your home-recording studio.

Bringing together the ethos and dedication of the legendary audio pioneers STAX with the high performance innovation of Edifier, the S3 and STAX Spirit line achieve an unmatched audio experience for a new generation of sonic lovers.
