About this item:
- A Major Upgrade of the Popular Edition X: The new Edition XS expands on its predecessor's achievements with several essential upgrades. Featuring Stealth Magnet Technology and the company's NEO supernano Diaphragm, the Edition XS produces a wide, natural soundstage that puts the listener in the best seat in the house. Edition XS from HIFIMAN brings the depth and range of well-recorded music to an affordably priced headphone.
- Acoustically Invisible Stealth Magnet: Unlike the sound waves created by a conventional magnet, the special shape of Stealth Magnets enables the waves to pass through the magnets without generating interference. HIFIMAN's advanced magnet design is acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing wave diffraction turbulence that degrades the integrity of the sound waves. The reduced distortion yields pure sonic output that is accurate and full-range.
- HIFIMAN's NEO "supernano" Diaphragm (NsD): The new NsD is 75% thinner than previous designs, resulting in fast response and detailed imaging with lush, full range sonics.
- The Headband: The light weight, ergonomically accurate offers maximum comfort for hours of listening pleasure. The exterior is refined matte black material, and the interior features high-grade memory foam for the most comfortable fit and elasticity. The headphone's structural design supports overall durability that retains its comfortable fit for years of enjoyment.
- The Cable: HIFIMAN's new 3.5mm sockets are similar to those found on most common audio devices. The supplied 3.5mm cable is user changeable and replaceable.

In fairness, the 6XX has a different sound - darker, more intimate, but unfortunately the veil makes them also somewhat fuzzy.
The XS has a much wider soundstage and is much brighter (but with good bass) and crystal clear - no veil. The XS sounds much more 3D than the 6XX.
For what its worth, when I bought the XS from Hifiman awhile back I think they were also marked as refurbished but when I got them they seemed brand new. I also just bought a pair of Arya Oganics from them, again marked refurbished, and again they came seemingly brand new.

I have a Topping MX3 - hoping it's enough, but honestly, I feel like a Macbook Pro M-series headphone jack [apple.com] should be enough power.
Topping DX3 Pro+ DAC/AMP = $175
Both should handle the Edition XS fine, connects via USB to your PC.
The planars are on a whole diff level, I have a HD800s and a Utopia but I always prefer listening to music on my Susvara.
Schiit Magni AMP with DAC add on = $189
Topping DX3 Pro+ DAC/AMP = $175
First time buying an AMP/DAC in probably 25 years lol
I've been meaning to research headphones again for a long time. This helps me mark that off my task list!
I only have 1 pair of ears

I enjoy my HD6XX's but I find them sometimes to have that "Sennheiser veil" that people mention all the time. They are properly driven with a dedicated amp. So I'm looking for a pair of cans that contrasts nicely to that sound signature.

Do they have a wired and wireless headset at the same time? If so, which model is that? Let me know please.
I now have the Ananda Nano, which does sound better but needs EQ to tame harsh treble. The Nano also costs double. No need for EQ on the XS, but it does benefit a little there as well.
I am looking for a headphone that can be both Bluetooth and wired. I am in the market looking for a headphone, can you suggest which one of the Hifiman has that option? I need Bluetooth coz of my iphone and I can use wired for my McIntosh Amp or my pc.
Thank u in advance.
