Edifier Stax Spirit S10 specifications and in-depth review

Edifier Stax Spirit S10

Manufacturer: Edifier

The Edifier Stax Spirit S10 are true wireless in-ear earbuds built for listeners who want a broad range of high-resolution audio codec support in a compact, cable-free form. Weighing 56 g and rated IP54 for water and dust resistance, they are designed to handle everyday use with a degree of environmental resilience. The earbuds connect via Bluetooth 5.4 and come with a charging case that extends total playback time to 28 hours combined.

On the audio side, the S10 feature a 12 mm driver unit with a frequency range spanning 20 Hz to 40,000 Hz and a sound pressure level of 92 dB/mW. They support an notable range of codecs including LDAC, LDHC, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, and aptX Lossless, alongside AAC. Active noise cancellation is included, with ANC-enabled battery life rated at 4.5 hours and up to 7 hours without it. A six-microphone array with noise cancellation handles calls, while additional features include ambient sound mode, in-ear detection, fast charging, and multipoint connection for up to two devices simultaneously.

Who is this for?

The Edifier Stax Spirit S10 are well matched to listeners who prioritize high-resolution audio codec support, given their compatibility with LDAC, LDHC, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, and aptX Lossless. The IP54 rating and true wireless design make them a practical choice for active daily use and commuting, where some exposure to sweat or light rain is expected. Users who frequently switch between two devices will also benefit from the built-in multipoint connection, and the six-microphone noise-canceling array makes them a capable option for those who regularly take calls on the go.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who rely heavily on ANC throughout the day may find the 4.5-hour ANC battery life limiting for extended sessions without access to the charging case. Those who prefer spatial audio formats such as Dolby Atmos or Dirac Virtuo will not find support for these here, making the earbuds a poor fit for immersive audio experiences tied to those ecosystems. Additionally, users who want the convenience of wireless charging or need to locate misplaced earbuds via a find-device feature will find both of those capabilities absent.
