Edifier STAX Spirit S10 Planar Magnetic ANC Wireless Earbuds, IP54

For the average customer wanting premium earbuds I would not recommend these. For a beginner audiophile I would highly recommend. Explanation: the earbuds dont fit well in the ears. With the big driver they feel like there going to fall out so they arent good for working out, but sitting still it is hard to recognize they are in and with all the eartip sizes they are very comfortable.they also arent as loud as dynamic driver earbuds planar headphones usually take a bit more power to drive so it makes sense. Thats why I say they're not for the general consumer who just wants to headbang all day. The sound is the best I have heard in any pair of earbuds I've owned and with the app you can change a lot in the eq settings. It takes a bit to learn if you dont understand eq settings. If you dont want to mess with the eq they have presets to make them sound like regular earbuds but if your gonna do that just buy a cheap pair. If you want an audiophile level listening experience without the price tag there is no question. Dont spend thousands on a setup just to find its not for you. These have a distinct sound signature and it's not for everyone. If you want something more niche you have to pay more so in my opinion the pricetag is very appropriate.

As fast as a ribbon. Every frequently is fast all the way down. Get the right fit. Very important. Terry Leiby

I didn't like them. Too tinny.

Biggest soundstage of all my earbuds. With proper tips for isolation, bass is good--realistic, not enhanced like some many very popular earbuds. Top end can occasionally be shrill. Would not want to be without them. They are one of a kind-- today. As planar technology is being used more frequently, this bud should get some real competition in the near future. Can't wait!

These are decent, but not great. Especially for the price. The noise cancelation is awful and actually produces shrill sounds in the gym when plates slam onto each other. Plus you can still hear conversations going on right next to you. The Neo Buds 2 were absolutely fantastic in this regard. Don't know if it is the planar technology not being refined enough. The sound is good but still nit as good as the aforementioned Neo Buds Pro 2 or the S that were even better. I am disappointed as Edifier has never let me down before in any if their products. The bookshelf that I purchased years ago still blew away most high end soeakers I have heard and my daughter uses her headphones at school to block out noise and help her concentrate on assessments. Hopefully they get this right soon.
