Edifier Stax Spirit S5 review: audio quality stacks up, lack of ANC falls down

Planar magnetic headphones deliver stunning sound quality, if you can cope with the lack of ANC and the high asking price

Notably detailed, insightful and coherent sound ; Impressive specification (with one exception) ; Good standard of build and finish

A little hint of edginess to treble sounds ; Not suitable for vegetarians or vegans ; No active noise-cancellation

Remarkably acute and forthright sound quality, great quality of construction, and some cutting-edge specification carry the Edifier Stax Spirit S5 quite a long way – but those who crave isolation from the noise of the outside world won't be quite so...

Edifier Stax Spirit S5 review: a precise planar listen isn’t everything

These wireless headphones have an unusual driver setup

Expansive, engaging sound that improves on Stax S3 ; Redesigned headband even more comfortable ; Heroic battery life

Overall build and accessories not up there with similarly-priced rivals ; Still no active noise cancellation ; Maximum volume a little low

These comfy planar magnetic on-ears don’t have price on their side like their predecessors. The Stax Spirit S5 is long-lasting, but lacks ANC and its build can’t match premium rivals.

The Edifier Stax Spirit S5 will give you excellent sound if you mind your surroundings

The Edifier Stax Spirit S5 are serious cans but with a price that kicks a hornet's nest.

Excellent audio quality ; Extensive codec support ; Staggering battery life ; Versatile connectivity

Limited noise isolation ; Uninspired design ; Expensive
