Picked up the Hifiman Edition XS Yesterday

These are sounding great so far! They're my first open back + planar headphones. My others for comparison are Bowers & Wilikins P7, Sennheiser Momentum, and Bose NC700.

Just from the first day so far, I'd say the P7 and Ed XS are pretty close in sound quality, but the Ed XS of course have a way way wider sound stage. There's a lot more sub-bass audible as well. I'd say that the bass is very present and clean, but not as hard hitting as I'd like. I'm going to try and EQ them this weekend to see how it goes.

Overall they are sounding fantastic and I'm enjoying the difference from my other cans.
