HiFiMAN Edition XS Stealth Magnets Planar Magnetic Hi-Fi Headphones +Headphone Travel Case-Black

Product Information

to X connection in all their latest releases, so a cable listed as compatible with the Sundara will work with the XS as it will nearly every HiFiMAN product still being sold. A ready-made Limited Edition Mongrel Series audio cable compatible with: HiFiMAN Ananda, Arya, Editi. This can subjectively make music sound more coherent in the centre but could be quite disorienting when gaming.

These are very large and a good bit larger than the Sundara but it's surprisingly comfortable and lightweight which allows me to wear them all day without issues as I use them for everything audio on my desktop as I don't have speakers. habe vor kurzem auf der Arbeit einen Hörtest gemacht wo mir überdurchschnittliches Hören für mein Alter (46) bescheinigt wurde.

Gaming or course is very good with its large soundstage and certainly a step up compared to the Sundara which I always found to be very good for gaming but now these have a clear improvement to soundstage and the feeling of depth and width to the environment around you! They sounded quite good, the 500 justifying its almost iconic status to a fair degree, but for me the fit and comfort are best described as awkward and clumsy.

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. Ausserdem hilft die sehr große bewegte Membran wohl auch die Schallwellen zuverlässig ins Ohr zu befördern. I definitely prefer them when the optimum position is found were the pads don’t touch my ears at all. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.I’m no stranger to HiFiMAN gear, I’ve tried out lots of their stuff, so when I was sent the Edition Xs’ I was shocked to find that, despite their great specs, to me, they just felt kind of lifeless, technical competency doesn’t always align with great experience, especially with something as subjective as audio, read on to see more. The oval cups are very comfortable, I put this down to having a lowish clamping force and the pads not resting on the ears. Passform: für mich perfekt, mein Kopf ist vielleicht etwas größer als der Durchschnitt aber auch nicht riesig. This is the big dealbreaker for the XS over the Sundara, and if it sounds like the XS is simply too big for your head you can stop here.

Planar drivers are HiFiMAN's specialty and work by holding a tiny diaphragm in mid-air between two sets of magnets, the idea being that having nothing touching the diaphragm prevents interference from a voice coil attached to the diaphragm directly contributing to the overall sound like in a dynamic driver design. 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.The latest Edition XS uses a newly developed planar magnetic driver with an ultra-thin diaphragm coil known as Neo ultra-thin diaphragm. The cable supplied with the XS appears to be a response to this criticism, as the rubber insulation used is very soft and malleable and effortlessly coils, uncoils and takes any shape as much as you like with no memory. Over an hour of wearing the cans is a good indicator - the aftermarket headband made that difference for me as well.
