Edifier International announced the STAX SPIRIT S5 Wireless Planar magnetic headphones. In the 2012, Edifier acquired STAX Ltd., a company with over 80 years history, and a specialist in electrostatic headphones. The brand name "STAX" is almost considered the benchmark of electrostatic headphones.

Inspired by STAX's pursuit of high-fidelity music and craftsmanship in the field, the STAX SPIRIT brand was created as a high-end sub brand for Edifier headphone products with the aim of developing more high-quality products for audiophile users. Planar magnetic drivers are commonly found in Hi-Fi headphones and other high-end audio equipment. With their unique way of operation, planar magnetic drivers can represent a superior audio experience with rich details and impressive transient response.

With solid innovation and advanced features, the STAX SPIR IT S5 packs upgraded planar magnetic drivers and the latest Bluetooth®? V5.4 technology into a compact and portable form-factor. The 2mm thin film and 2nd gen EqualMass??

wiring technology generate a performance comparable to legendary electrostatic headphones. The Advantages of Planar Magnetic Driver: Dynamic driver reproduces sound with a cone-size diaphragm driven by a voice coil submerged in a circular magnetic field. The diaphragm has to be stiff enough to avoid partitioning during vibration, especially in high frequency band.

The whole motor system is also heavy to move. The planar magnetic driver, on the other hand, features a flat, thin diaphragm with embedded wires, suspended in the magnetic gap. Edifier take this approach a step further with EqualMass??.

By connecting a different number of wires with the same width in parallel, EqualMass?? achieves a uniform driving force for all parts of diaphragm while keeping its weight evenly distributed. This allows the diaphragm to move back and forth with the same motion and momentum, reducing harmonic distortion to almost zero.

In the 2nd generation of EqualMass wiring, Edifier introduce a symmetric wiring structure, further enhancing the diaphragm's stability across the entire frequency spectrum. To ensure uniformity in the magnetic field strength distribution across each planar magnetic driver, Edifier have developed a proprietary automatic toolset for calibrating and compensating the magnet circuitry during production. This meticulous process guarantees that every set of S5 headphones delivers sound fidelity identical to the original unit crafted by the designer.

In addition to LDAC and LHDC, the S5 supports all audio codecs under the Snapdragon Sound Technology Suite, including aptX?? HD, aptX?? Adaptive, and aptX??

Lossless. It achieves a bit rate of up to 1.2 Mbps in Bluetooth®? mode, delivering high resolution (24-bit/96kHz) and end to end low latency audio.

It also supports the AAC codec, enhancing compatibility with a wider range of devices. Whether it's a mobile phone or a laptop, switching between devices is more convenient and seamless, allowing to work and listen to music simultaneously. Wrapped in genuine lambskin earpads and adorned with top-grain cowhide earcups, the S5 epitomizes elegance and refinement in both form and function.

Crafted with the utmost attention to detail, its ergonomic design ensures a snug and secure fit, giving hours of uninterrupted enjoyment with no discomfort. download the EDIFier ConneX App and can select from three kinds of preset EQs and customize personal EQ to suit music style. Price & Availability: Currently, the STAX SPIRit S5 is available in the S5 is available in the 2012, Edifier's S5 is available in the 12-bit/96kHz.
