đŸ”¶ Hifiman Edition XS

I’ve wanted to Plasti dip the grills for a while to see if it calms the resonance down. Tell me if you notice a difference in the ringing/resonance!

Looks like I should have this by this weekend provided the shipping goes correctly

damn, they told me monday lol. overestimating to look like the good guy, UPS?

How many hour of burn need?
We all know that the burn does not do a lot but certain over ear can benefit.
For a quality listening, do I need to spend 7 days with burn?

weather has been fudging a lot of shipping lately and more blizzards starting tomorrow (If it goes through the KY → ND route I can keep an eye out lol)

yeah, just woke up to a white out outside the window
 Would be nice to receive this on the appropriate date though, highly interested in these cans

interesting that he found them comfortable anyone else agree? lol

They are comfy but only after slightly bending the yokes in, which is kinda dangerous because you could definitely break them lol

I love them, very comfortable (without any changes/mods).

Yes, they are quite comfortable actually.

:thinking: Curious, anybody try these on the Liquid Plat by chance?

it’s not bad. didn’t tube roll but it’s pretty solid overall. a little loose in the bass but not worth complaining about.

How is the sound leak on the Edition XS? I currently have the Sundara and they do leak quite a bit of sound which is to be expected with open backs of course. Is the sound leak worse than the Sundara? I do have others in the house I don’t want to disturb too much and with the Sundara you can barely hear with the door closed, but I don’t listen at high volumes anyway.

Welcome.

These are the loudest open backs I’ve ever heard lol. I left them playing and put them on my desk to go upstairs and when I was walking back downstairs I thought I left my TV on or something. These would absolutely disturb someone else near you if you were listening to music.

Hi! Welcome to HFGF!

All of these HiFiMan cans with the egg-shaped cups have essentially no isolation. Sound goes in and out with equal ease. These are not cans to use if you’re working in a cubicle or near anyone else.

Well crap. I have the XS on order now and just might have to return them. I work from home so while I don’t share a cubicle I have people in rooms that are down the hall from me, but I do have the door closed 99% of the time.

Thanks for the welcome message! Unfortunately these headphones sound like they won’t work in my situation. Appreciate the feedback.

yeah the sound leak is terrible with these

It may be premature to have to return them - if you have the door closed most of the time it shouldn’t be too bad. But yeah I was more referring to if you had anyone in the same room as you.
