PLEASE WAIT UNTIL FEBRUARY 19th??? That is insane. It is not Modhouse building each headphone.
You must really want these bad.

BTW, can any of you guys tell me if this cable can be modded to balanced (3.5mm input to 4-pin XLR)?
I believe this is the same cable that comes with the He-4XX. Iām fine with it and I donāt particularly hate it.
Anyone try and see if it has 3 conductors down the Y-split or 4?
I know if itās 3 then itās pointless.
But I donāt want to ruin it to check out, so if anyone knows anything or has a different hunch, would help.
So that youād hack off the single 3.5mm end off and solder on a 4-pin XLR termination? Iād just so sooner buy this and maintain this cable intact for non-balanced applications.

Can anyone recommend a good balanced cable for the XS?
Have never owned one before.
Amazon would be best.
What source gear are you plugging into? There are multiple options for balanced plugs.
Entry level setup to begin with. ifi zen dac v2 ā PC
The zen dac has a balanced output. Pentaconn 4.4mm
Unbalanced output is 6.3mm
Will look at other gear down the track if needed, Iām definitely new at this.

Thanks dude 
Edit: Shipping seems to be more than the product to Australia 
Nice looking cable though.
What about this one?
4.4 Balanced option (fourth)
and
Thatās exactly the idea. But I do have the he4xx too, same stock cable. Then another maybe, so I will have spares for SE use. I ordered a couple of 4-pin XLRs for my other cans already, Iām doing all of those so figured may do the same to this cable while Iām at it. The cable you linked is nice but itās going to come at another $30.
I did check on other platforms, they do say it has 4 conductors inside, so should be fine I suppose. Or Iāll just slap on a spare metal SE connector back if itās a fail.
Will give it a shot and update.
EDIT:
Ok I found this awesome cable - again. Iāve ordered one before.
Maybe I should just use this one, but will need a converter for my 4-pin XLR SH-9:
@Millzy if it helps you too. 4.4.

Hello all, just checked several shops for purchase availability, here is the answers:
Linsoul and Hifigo - out of stock, asked for several Ali sellers with good ratings, they said they out of stock, and 2-5 days needed to ship from factoryā¦
I ordered from Hifigo when it was in stock earlier today, and it has been shipped already.
It might be my first planar headphones. Currently my main headphones is DT-1990.From Ananda/1990 reviews i hear, that they are both +/- on the same level, but has different presentation, but what about comparison DT-1990 to XS?
p.s. Previously, I took planar headphones from friends for evaluation and comparison, such as: Sundara, Aeon flow closed, but for me personally DT-1990 was winner, interesting what about XS, it will be an upgrade or not?
A little update to my order: shop provided new track number today, and describe the situation with delivery the same as for described below:
There is no updates in new track number, but i hope everything will be ok.
Pretty nice for the price, ordered one. My Edition XS are at my post office, i ordered with Hifigo and though they arenāt the cheapest, iām (once again) very satisfied with the process. Canāt wait to try them out this evening.

Luckily I checked HiFiGo late last night my time and ordered as soon as I saw they had some more stock, I got my shipping advice 18 hours later. 
Try your tracking through aftership, much more detailed.
Free Android app too.
I ordered on the 28th and left China today.

What about your Aliexpress order? Did you fully cancel it? They promise to refund?
Itāll be a while yet. Still waiting for confirmation of the return from the local carrier. There will be a process that wonāt be quick and apart from having to wait for my money - Iām not stressing too much.
long time lurrrrrrker, first time poster, I.ve had these since release date. Iām a brit living in Thailand and can get from china from asian ebay type store called lazada. Granted the price is excessive. DD audio is linked to linsoul at a mark up but what the hell. All I can say is these are really good. Iāve had/got stax that cannot compete with these. Iāve thrown everything i have at them. From jazz to rock to EDM.
Iām done with buying headphones.
