Edifier Announces STAX SPIRIT S10

Edifier International, the award-winning audio electronics designer, announces the addition of the SPIRIT S10 to its STAX product range. The STAX SPIRIT S10 is the world's first True Wireless Planar Magnetic Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation with Qualcomm QCC5181 Chipset, providing an excellent sound quality and wonderful, immersive, music listening experience.

The STAX SPIRIT S10 features 12 mm modularized planar magnetic drivers that guarantee a uniform, consistent audio performance and the possibility to be used for active noise cancellation. The Planar diaphragm is built on a 2μm polymer substrate with a total thickness of only 10μm - this ensures a good transient response for detailed sound reproduction.
The STAX SPIRIT S10 employs the 2nd generation of EqualMass wiring counter which balances the uneven distribution of magnetic field and achieves equal weight distribution across the diaphragm, so that all parts of the diaphragm possess the same momentum. By adding symmetric supporting wiring, the diaphragm is steadier than the previous generation and can achieve a piston-like motion across the audio spectrum significantly reducing harmonic distortion. Dual layers of magnetic arrays, one on each side of the diaphragm, provide doubled driving force in a push-pull manner for a much-improved efficiency.

Every piece of the earbuds will pass a production-phase auto-calibration process to guarantee uniform final performance.

Premium Sound Quality. Hi-Res Wireless Audio Certification & More HD Codecs.
The STAX SPIRIT S10 Planar Magnetic Earbuds are equipped with Qualcomm QCC5181 Bluetooth audio SoCs, it ensures a stable connection and low power consumption, as well as improved call quality and environmental noise suppression. The S10 supports all audio codecs in the Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound technology suite, including Qualcomm aptX Audio, Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, and Qualcomm aptX Lossless, offering versatile compatibility and superior sound quality. The earbuds also support multiple high-definition codecs like LDAC, LHDC 5.0 and AAC, allowing for high-quality audio transmission and reception, and broadening device compatibility.

Manufacturers have really gone bonkers with adaptive ANC. I hope this is not the same situation as on Sony's WH-1000XM5 where you simply can't set the level of NC you want permanently and instead have to suffer every 5 minutes because the algo is changing the intensity every time it decides it is appropriate to.

Strange, my WF-1000XM4's don't behave like that.

If you can check out XM5 in a big store where they'd let you walk around and turn on/off some music or home appliances around you while they're on, that would be my advice, you'd probably be able to figure out if you're fine or extremely annoyed by ANC behaviour. Otherwise, personally, I'd stay away and keep XM4. Plus XM5 are 2.5 years old at this point, so maybe XM6 are around the corner and Sony would let people turn Auto ANC off again.

I own the WH-1000XM5 and have never noticed it changing it just seems to work for my own use case. I own the WF-1000XM4 as well and the WH-1000XM5 does a better job than they do and they are pretty decent as it is.

Honestly until it was pointed out in this thread I wasn't even aware and I have been using them since they launched.
