“The microphones on these headphones do a really good job at focusing on your speech and rejecting some of your ambient noise if you find yourself needing to take a voice call in a louder environment.”
“As for the WH950NB as well as the S5, both of them have very similar performance with great environmental noise cancellation and also good call quality that is natural sounding and good”
“for those really serious listening experiences, if you want to get a good piece of music, some lossless audio and just really enjoy the sound, then for me this is actually where these headphones shine. And the fact they don't have noise…”
“If you're looking for a fantastic sounding wireless closed back headphone, look no further than the Edifier Stax Spirit S5. They're an absolute joy to wear, super comfortable... Their app is fantastic, it's easy to use... and they come…”
“One thing I wasn't expecting is uh for these to have a nice uh base, since they're planar, but I'm happy to say that uh the base is actually really good. Uh we get a nice uh punchy base, but it doesn't uh overpower the rest of the sound.”
“So the Stax Spirit S5 is definitely the new and improved version of the S3. It's built better, sounds better, and they've essentially fixed everyone of those issues that people complained about except for one.”
“I think Edifier just knocked it out of the park with these. They're throwing every high-end Bluetooth codec at you that you can possibly want, they're giving you plenty of battery life”
“First impression? I was like, damn, these feel really good. Nice and lightweight yet not feeling cheap... There's just enough weight to give them that premium feel.”
“the more fabric ones, the more cooler feeling ones so if you're working out in these or anything like that where you'll be sweating, we be able to sweat and everything, these are the you know your ear cups for that definitely these will…”
“I find the Edifier S5s to be super comfortable to wear for hours at a time. Now I normally wear glasses for most of the day and even with these pressing against the arms of my glasses there's really no problems with discomfort or anything…”
“I find this sort of cooling mesh earcup better for longer periods of time so if I'm editing a long video it's taken me a few hours then having these on my ear... you're not going to get that sweaty ear syndrome”
“you can use the USBC input plug that in to your laptop or your computer USB and turn on the headphone and it will charge the headphone while you're listening to music which is a nice feature.”

“you're not going to get active noise cancelling with these and so that's one thing I just wanted to highlight... these are really focused on audio, not so much noise cancelling.”
“One thing I do feel that's missing though is active noise cancellation. I would have liked to have seen that on the spec list, especially for the £500 asking price.”
