I personally got it from Amazon, but if you are in the USA I believe you can get it directly from here:

guys anyone can you please provide me with great eq settings for rock/metal
What track is this exactly? And this much ārumbleā is not natural. They seem to be running beyond their physical parameters.
Give us the name of the track - let me check what I hear.
Didnāt think so, prodigy works great on my, but i still donāt like the midrange, but everything else is great. Midrange here is too cold, lacking warmth. They sounds like Iām listening music in the box, i think that is because of cups design. And i think headband is the issue for me, not enough clamp, thinking of selling these and get the Ananda for 599ā¦ Not decided yet.
Or maybe get Audeze lcd-x as endgame
Mine doesnāt do that at all and Iām running with IFI Zen Can with xbass turned on ^^

No issues with headband on xs? How is the midrange on Ananda compare to XS?
There is a lot of sub bass at the start there on that track, very audible even outside the cups but mine doesnāt sound like that recording.
for me xs is better at everything except stage width
yeah i cant hear when i actually listening on my head its just when i remove it listen its like subwoofer
When you say canāt hear the rumble, you should still be feeling and hearing a serious rumble when on your head, and I mean ALOT ^^ on that track. Itās a bass monster.
somehow i can feel it not hear it its like subwoofer
That one sounds like sub bass kick to me, just less than the prodigy track. I can kind of get that if you turn mine way up past my comfort level. You should be feeling and hearing that level of bass though when itās on your head.
If you are used to normal open back headphones, the amount of sub bass the EDXS can generate can be very surprising. Iām used to non neutral IEMās like the MELE so it sounds correct to me, maybe thatās it?

this is happening mostly on industrial metal and techno
Both of which have lots of sub bass, most open backs struggle with because itās typically very rolled off. In fact the EDXS is my first open back that presents sub bass levels similar to the IEM world.
