Review: Unbeatable for the price. - I have these running through a Schiit stack and they sound spectacular. Sound is subjective and all that, but for $200, in my opinion, these are a no brainer and you’d be hard pressed to find better for that price. They’re great for music, great for gaming. Good soundstage and imaging for positional cues in games. If you are just starting, get an Apple dongle at the very least for these, but they’re better with more power. The only thing I think is going to be make or break for people is comfort. The headband does not bother me, but the common complaint is that the design of the headband, without the typical hifiman strap, is not comfortable, or causes issues for people with small heads. If you’re worried about that, get a Capra strap, or create your own solution if you enjoy modifying things. The pads feel comfortable to me though and I like how big they are. Nothing comes close to touching any part of my ear. I can’t really comment on QC. The build quality feels fine to me, nothing spectacular. I have no issues so far. Hifiman does have a reputation for poor QC. I was worried, because this is my first Hifiman, but I have no complaints for now. We’ll see how they hold up over time. Overall, these are my new favorite. I definitely think they’re worth trying.
Review: These are the best headphones for under $500...I got them for $209. Simply Amazing! - I don't write many reviews, but I can give you the important details. Sound Quality: What most of you are wondering. These are incredible. If you have critical listening ears, you will love these. Good soundstage and great open back planar magnetics. You can run these balanced or not. I ran these through my Fiio BTR5 and they sounded great! These are a bit bright, which I like, and the Fiio is a warm DAC/AMP which pairs great with these. You should get a DAC or AMP. You can still run these through a laptop or phone, but a DAC/AMP would be better. Remember these let noise in, but that's every open back. Great sound profile and amazing instrument separation. Rich bass and detail. What can I say? You gotta listen for yourself. Build Quality: Solid. I paid $209 not $500. Hifiman delivered here. Good quality cable, and material. No complaints. Yes there is some plastic, but it doesn't compromise. Will be a bit squeaky with glasses, keep that in mind. So it squeaks with glasses which is unfortunate, but not a deal breaker. I can wear them for hours. Comfort: So these are big. I didn't even need to extend them at all. Doesn't clamp too much on my head which is great. I have a normal sized head, and these fit my just right where I can live with them. Just know the earcups have to create a good seal. I don't mind the headband design, its fine. Not many complaints, just know these are bigger than the Sundaras and HE400SE. The Sundaras or HE400SE will be better if you are worried about these being too big. You can also try these out and see if you like them, which is what I did, and thank God these fit just right. Conclusion: If you are looking for some high end headphones, for $200, these are the best in the market. $500??? Still these. Simply amazing. Hifiman outdid themselves here and provided value for the consumer. I tested these and the HE400SE together, and these are so worth the extra $100 if you can afford it. Better than the Sundaras from what I have heard. These are awesome!

## Features

- A Major Upgrade of the Popular Edition X: The new Edition XS expands on its predecessor’s achievements with several essential upgrades. Featuring Stealth Magnet Technology and the company’s NEO supernano Diaphragm, the Edition XS produces a wide, natural soundstage that puts the listener in the best seat in the house. Edition XS from HIFIMAN brings the depth and range of well-recorded music to an affordably priced headphone.
- Acoustically Invisible Stealth Magnet: Unlike the sound waves created by a conventional magnet, the special shape of Stealth Magnets enables the waves to pass through the magnets without generating interference. HIFIMAN’s advanced magnet design is acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing wave diffraction turbulence that degrades the integrity of the sound waves. The reduced distortion yields pure sonic output that is accurate and full-range.
- HIFIMAN’s NEO “supernano” Diaphragm (NsD): The new NsD is 75% thinner than previous designs, resulting in fast response and detailed imaging with lush, full range sonics.
- The Headband: The light weight, ergonomically accurate offers maximum comfort for hours of listening pleasure. The exterior is refined matte black material, and the interior features high-grade memory foam for the most comfortable fit and elasticity. The headphone’s structural design supports overall durability that retains its comfortable fit for years of enjoyment.
- The Cable: HIFIMAN’s new 3.5mm sockets are similar to those found on most common audio devices. The supplied 3.5mm cable is user changeable and replaceable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Niche comfort and value; not really worth the upgrade
*by J***Y on February 18, 2022*

I came to the Edition XS from the Sundara. I wanted something with similar sound quality, but with a greater sense of comfort (I have big ears, and the Sundaras were unfortunately too painful to wear for extended sessions) The Edition XS has earcups that are extremely comfortable, and have no problem covering even my larger ears. However, I highly doubt that these (and perhaps the Arya and Ananda) fit people with smaller ears/heads very well - if at all. Even on the smallest setting, I find that the base of the cups reach my jawline. If you have a smaller head, I would probably opt for the Sundaras or other cans. Furthermore, like other reviews have mentioned, the headband is indeed a point of concern, partly due to the sheer size of the cups. It is difficult to strike a proper balance with the Edition XS, which can lead to a great deal of tension on the top of one's head. I am inclined to agree that this headband design is not meant to pair very well with the cups. This brings up other concerns related to the construction of the Edition XS. For one, the plastic feels very cheap. The Sundaras felt far more premium. Additionally, if you move around excessively, the headset and the cables tend to make sounds that are disruptive and worrying. It makes little sense to pay the premium for something that feels like a downgrade. Of course, when it comes to sound, the Edition XS do sound great. The bass is incredibly fun, and there is a lot of fidelity at both the high and low ranges. However, the mids are a little muddied, and I actually think that the Sundaras win here. I really don't think that the Edition XS is all that superior to the supposedly "lesser" Sundara in the sound department; in fact, in some ways, it arguably sounds worse. I will most likely stick with the Edition XS because of the personal comfort that I am able to gain over the Sundara, but I would likely not recommend that others do the same, unless they also suffer from similar woes, or are explicitly looking for better bass in their open-back cans.
