Lots of people think ANC is a must but not for Audiophile group. I agree that any ANC does affect the sound nature as it process too much , in sound field & make unnatural , weaken the dynamic of sound . If anyone try the Noble prestige wireless earbug (no ANC),the sound is so good & natural . Need no equalizer. I think Edifier is going the right path , as the HIFi man
Aaron, Have you seen the Noble Fokus Apollo? It's a closed back with both a dynamic and planar magnetic driver in a concentric design! Would love a comparison to the Stax S5 and Melomania P100.
Aaron, I REALLY DO need raw frequency response graph of these headphones. I also want to compare the graph with harman 2018 oe target... If joning the memnership makes that possible, I'll join.
Great review! If you can please do a review on the Audeze Maxwell, I'm really on the fence between it and the Sony XM5, but think going with the maxwell because of the wifi receiver for gaming and it looks like it has pretty amazing sound quality as well for listening to music.
I have the S3's. These should be even a bit better. The S3's are much much better sounding then the momentum 4s. Its not even close. However, they are lacking in bass out of the box. Which is stupid, because they respond to EQ very good. You just have to do it with a third party app.
@@aaronloudnwireless Hi mate according to your opinion what is the best sound quality wireless headphone right now? Can't really decide between Bose Ultra / Sony XM5 or Momentum 4, thanks
@@jasonyau5666definitely Sennheiser if you want anc with best sounding but for really only sound quality edifier stax spirit s5 is the best wireless headphone
Thanks for the comparison, Aaron. From your audio samples the soundstage of the S5 is wide and sounds airy. Played it straight side by side with an audio sample from the Airpods Max made the vocals come forward abruptly and sounded narrower in terms of soundstage.
Frankly, the price is exaggerated. If I am looking for sound quality, I can buy open-back headphones, DAC AMP, and wireless headphones for the same price.
@@waichungsham1578 This has nothing to do with the size or type of the driver. If it is not adjusted, the DD driver will be better. However, you can buy the same set with the Magnetic Planner headphone.
I just found that STAX SPIRIT S10 was released recently in TWS. Can’t wait to watch your review!

Hi, when can we expect the detailed review on Samsung buds 3 pro?. Am eagerly waiting for your test and feedback 😐
Aaron, great video as usual. You may want to look at the audeze maxwell. It is a well tuned planar magnetic wireless headphones.
Nice! No problem
I love it that they do not have ANC!

I'm looking for something to use for Home use for watching movies, is this a good buy with a aptx transmitter?
In sound quality terms, how do these compare to the FiiO F5?

Swift! Thank you Aaron ❤
@@Icecold_Art no problem
Aaron, are the S5 louder than the S3? The 3 was not loud enough for me. Thanks
These headphones remind me of the PANDA headphones of Masdrop lunched a few years ago.
The sound signature reminds me of the CA Melomania You 'recently reviewed, clean, tight, punchy, audiophile grade.
It certainly shares that signature. 👍🏻
@@aaronloudnwireless Between The P100 or Momentum 4 which would you choose for Audio and comfort?
@@aaronloudnwireless comfort rank for P100, M4, and QC Ultra please 🙏
If Edifier doesn't have Auracast capability on it's latest STAX Spirit S10 earbuds ($300) & STAX Spirit S5 headphones ($500), it baffles me.
What rig do you use to measure the headphones? I hope it's not minidsp EARS.
In your opinion, do they sound better than the momentum 4s and do they have a wider and taller soundstage?
I have the S3's. These should be even a bit better. The S3's are much much better sounding then the momentum 4s. Its not even close. However, they are lacking in bass out of the box. Which is stupid, because they respond to EQ very good. You just have to do it with a third party app.
When you're deaf as a post NC is a must.
I like the Momentum 4 sound I guess I'm a bass kinda guy. Thanks for the review Aaron. 💯🔥🔥🇺🇸

@@jasonyau5666 did you decide which one to go for?
The Momentum 4 always kicking ass.
Not this time, M4 sounds muddy aside S5, It's still better than almost every BT headphone
What about max volume on S5. Isn't it not to quiet?
No

Yes the soundstaging is wider
One month later, the Stax S5 is still not in the sound database for comparison. 😉
Just added it. 👍🏻
@@aaronloudnwireless Great news. Thanks. 👌
Yes
Audeze needs to bring some heat to this market.
Audeze is owned by Sony now rip, I love my Maxwell but it is too bulky can't take it outside
Funny, the Stax Spirit uses Audeze drivers.
Frankly, the price is exaggerated. If I am looking for sound quality, I can buy open-back headphones, DAC AMP, and wireless headphones for the same price.
But the speaker on the headphones won't be as good as the Planar speakers

S5 destroys the others in terms of sound quality
no they sound great but they don't destroy others
@@MainInternetUser In this video atleast , YES ..... the others is just a TYPICAL Consumer headphones
Complete lack of surround sound.
