These sound excellent for wireless headphones. Lightweight, portable, good build quality.
In the app I set the headphones to use the dynamic option and disabled the other options by making the button press for Voice Assistant instead of mode change. I prefer the cooling ear pads, but they still get kind of warm in summer weather.
The sound is highly detailed and clear, neutral, neither cold or warm. Soundstage is quite good for closed-back headphones. Good low frequency and high frequency extension.
On my Windows 11 laptop, I like to use Alternative A2DP software for LDAC support for general listening. When I want to game and get very low latency, I use my Creative BT-W5 USB-C Bluetooth transmitter, which allows for AptX Adaptive Low Latency codec. In the Creative app, I can easily switch it to High Quality mode for high-res audio listening, and back to Low Latency mode for gaming.
Drawbacks: The headband can be a bit loose, but not so bad for my head. I would prefer if the cups rotated forward so the earpads touch the table when placed down, but instead it rotated towards you so the outside earcups touch the table. Multipoint connection can be a bit finicky connected to the Creative BT-W5 device+Windows laptop and to my Samsung Note 10 Plus phone, but not too big a problem. And of course, there is a lack of ANC, so it makes sense to have some ANC earphones or headphones for airplane use and other extra-loud places.
Conclusion: the Edifier Stax Spirit S5 is a pair of excellent sound quality portable wireless headphones with a few disadvantages. If you prioritize sound quality and comfort in wireless headphones, I think these headphones may be the best on the market in 2024.
