Edifier Stax Spirit S5 problems

“Although these headphones sound amazing, there are some features missing which uh could uh be a deal breaker for some. The lack of ANC. So, as most of the headphones in this space do have active noise cancellation, and these are missing…”

“Now one thing that you can't change in the application and something that I've kind of avoided saying in this video is of course the active noise cancellation. And that's because for $499, it doesn't have noise cancellation.”

“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.”

“these headphones do not have active noise cancellation technology or ANC for short, which is actually quite surprising and disappointing”

“There is no active noise cancellation and that makes the recommendation a little more specific than an all-rounder travel can.”

“The problem is with the design. So this headband is uniform in terms of strength and thickness throughout the entire length, which means that when you flex it, the only part that moves is the middle part. This leads to inadequate clamping…”

“And they do get slightly warm, mainly with the leather earpads, but this does mean you get pretty decent passive noise isolation with them.”

“I do give them a a demerit on the headband... that I don't know, that should be a little softer”

“the headband was nicer on the S3 compared to the S5... the headband padding is very meager”

“this adds about an additional 32 grams to the headphones when you put on the cool mesh.”

“Con number two, although they're boasting about their new design on the headset adjustment, I'm really not a fan. Look how loose it is. The simplest little shake drops these like a bad habit.”

“that is where I would probably not recommend these if you're going to listen to them in public because they do leak quite a bit of sound”
