I'm a bit concerned about the elongated shape of the XS earpads, not entirely convinced they'd give a good seal, but I guess they do? Over an hour so far continuous listening this morning with the XS fitted with the Geekria headphone cover/pad and, so far, no urge to take them off. The NEO supernano diaphragm is 75% thinner than the original version, resulting in lightning-fast response for detailed sonic output without discernible distortion. You will be able to pick out detail on the periphery of a track in a way the Sundara cannot do as well. Speziell bei Stücken mit starken Frequenzgemischen spielt die Technik wohl ihre Stärken am besten aus.

Much better to use a different Bluetooth receiver into the Deva jacks, or go straight wired from an amp.

Our resident headphone experts here at Scan Pro Audio have carefully selected items within this bundle to provide headphone enthusiasts with, quite literally, the peak headphone/audio experience. If however the features that the XS outclasses the Sundara in are worth the extra money to you like they are to me, then you will find yourself extremely satisfied with your purchase of the Edition XS.It also comes included with a Hifiman carry case, which doesn't appear to be the case if purchased elsewhere. Premium-Quality material withstands splash, dust and dirt, improving its durability and reliability.

With its combination of state-of-the-art technology, comfort-centric design, and versatile connectivity, the HifiMan Edition XS stands as a testament to HifiMan's commitment to delivering an unparalleled audio experience for enthusiasts and music lovers alike.

The dynamic headroom seems unusually generous, allowing a relaxed, unforced naturalness and an easy musical flow. Personally, I find both headband designs to be equally comfortable and have no preference, which might actually be the most controversial take!
