Hi, these sound really interesting. Just wondering if someone who owns these can tell me the approximate dimensions of the ear pads and particularly the recess? It's always the case but for something you have to wear on your head (and your ears) it's surprising how hard this information is to find sometimes!
They’re not similar headphones in application.Has anyone owned both the Edition XS and HE6SE V2 (with grill mod)? Their price points are not far from each other.
Thanks. I am aware of the difference. I am looking for sound impression from those who have owned both. I am interested in the XS because it is the latest. I am interested in the HE6SE just because I want to use the high gain option on my amp, lol.They’re not similar headphones in application.
The HE6 is supposed to be a phenomenal headphone if it has enough power; whereas the XS is easier to drive and Mikey fine with a portable amp. Most comparisons are between the Sundara, Ananda and XS.
Why? high gain is usually worse in most setups in regards to SNR, THD, etcThanks. I am aware of the difference. I am looking for sound impression from those who have owned both.

I have both (grill modded v2 too). I prefer and reach for the XS 9 times out of 10.Has anyone owned both the Edition XS and HE6SE V2 (with grill mod)? Their price points are not far from each other.
Ah, that's good to know because I have already ordered a XS. I like when a company put out a new product that outperform more expensive older products.I have both (grill modded v2 too). I prefer and reach for the XS 9 times out of 10.
The biggest draw of the V2 is the substantial bass impact... but the XS can match it and physically rumble the housing with enough subbass. The XS wins at just about every other area (Soundstage, Imaging, etc), especially if you boost the mids a bit via EQ and cut the peak in the highs a bit.
Yep. I did not see distortion measurements so far. Anyone?We need the XS on Amir’s desk for review…
Nothing I have seen. Maybe @Resolve took them already? Don’t see them in his review.Yep. I did not see distortion measurements so far. Anyone?
I am with you on that. I just purchased mine direct from Hifiman. $480 usd. Plus an extra 6 months warranty for free.This one looked too promising - ordered one for below 400 bucks at AliExpress. I hope it works for my ears as it does for so many others. And not seeing horrible distortion and group delay plots later on from amirm...
You could sell both and just have 1 pair of the XS. Worth it!As much as I would love to try these, owning both the Sundara and Ananda, do I really want another set of mid-fi Hifiman's? what's next shirts and hats?
