Thanks! I'm definitely going to pick this up as I don't have a portable DAC yet and I have seen this exact model touted on several FB Headphone/Audio groups and Reddit.

My RME ADI-2 DAC is coming tomorrow which has lots of built in EQ and PEQ options built into the unit itself. Excited to try it to see if it's a good replacement for my Schiit Modius/Magnius.
It will be interesting to see how you like the Qudelix compared to the RME and Magnius. I also have a Magnius and enjoy it, but the the ability to utilize the EQ of the Qadelix really allows it to stand out. Did I mention that it is portable? 😉

Asking as a noob, what will I gain coming from an ATH-M50 or Sony MDRV6? I know this is a serious jump in price point.

Damn you OP! I'm in for 1. Been wanting a pair of HiFi Man planars. Was waiting until Black Friday but pulled the trigger now! Thanks.

At this price I'm finally willing to bite. I have a pair of HD800S and wanted to give planar magnetic cans a try. I've tried some planar IEMs but haven't had a chance to try full cans.

Excited for these to arrive!

I tried and compared HD800s to Hifiman XS Edition. The HD800s had greater soundstage and instrument separation(one of the best in the game). However, in my opinion for my diverse music tastes the XS were just all around way more enjoyable due to the bass response that 800s just cannot reproduce. Rock and EDM genres flourished with the XS planars over the 800s. The 800s were also more comfortable and built better of course but the price point is 5-10x depending on sales.

Tempting.

I need something comfortable and easy to take on and off quickly in an office environment. I think over ear closed back dynamics might be more my bag though.

IEMs tickle my inner Slickdealer, however they are a pain to fit "just right" and a pain if you have to put them on and take them off a lot, ie in an office environment.

My audio trip history:
Sennheiser HD202, my first pair of headphones that were better than airline headphones, lol.
ATH-M50x, pads fell apart. Loved em because I didn't know any better.
Sennheiser HD560s, returned, with a Q5K. Over ear is soooo much more comfortable than the on ear cans of the M50x. Needed the eq and amp though, I'm a basshead and the Harman curve just doesn't cut it for me.
Hifiman Sundaras, returned. These are power hungry guys! Had to get balanced cables for 4v goodness with the Q5k. Tad more comfortable and smoother than the 560s. The Sundaras were my first pair of headphones that didn't feel cheap nor throw aways.

Current gear:
Kiwi Cadenza $35 IEMs, with $110 Q5k amp/eq. These are amazing pieces of kit!!! The dollar to sound return is through the friggen roof! Fidelity was so great (after tweaking with the Q5k) that I ended up returning the HD560s and Sundras.

Galaxy Buds Pro. Came as a free pack in with a laptop purchase. Surprisingly dam good fidelity. They are my current gym/running audio solution since nobody got time for wires on the go.

-edit, interdasting, they make a closed back version of the Sundaras and they are only $229 at Amazon, f it, ordered

I bought the edition xs a couple weeks ago, amazing headphone but super large for my head. I guess I have a "small" head. The edition xs would just slide off my head. When I would use it, the headphone did create pressure on top center of my head because of how heavy they are with almost no clamp force on your heads the top of the head bears all the weight. Amazing sound and with bass EQ'd up it can literally rattle and create rumble like a subwoofer. If you got a big head get the edition xs you won't regret it. I had to return mine because i simply cannot use it.

Regular price clearly stated on Amazon page as $549, not $999

Slickdeals posters need to stop inflating the "original" price in their title. It's bad form.

Tempted to get these. I own the HE560 V4 from a previous deal and drive them with a Monolith Spark AMP/DAC combo. Curious how much better sounding these would be.

Hopefully, even less than the lowest we've seen to date ($1,149 at Adorama).

I'm in the same boat (have the ATH-M50's) and would like to hear the pro's educate us noobs. Appreciate any comments on this!
