Deal Details
HIFIMAN via Amazon has HIFIMAN Edition XS Full-Size Over-Ear Open-Back Planar Magnetic Hi-Fi Headphones (Black) for $239. Shipping is free.

Thanks to Deal Hunter Eragorn for posting this deal.

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.

I just grabbed these the other week ($215 open box, they look/came brand new looking!) and I've been using my Mic (also used my motherboard) to power them. They've been loads better than my old Bose headphones (using Bluetooth) but I'm now I am sold on wanting a DAC, been shopping all evening for one. These things are great. And I'm now addicted to quality audio 😅

I did get a Capra audio strap, like a lotttt of people in other threads recommend for these. I have a huge head and these things are wonky-ish on my head still.

Yes you need an amp to truly appreciate how incredible these are for the price. Listening without an amp will not do them justice imo

I read some really good things about these headphones about eight months ago. I do not own it. I just got the Sandra and I'm very happy with them. This one's supposed to be better.

I have a headphone amp.

when you get to feel a better experience, it's refreshing and exciting...then you try out the most listened songs...wow...after, can these be better with an amp/dac...more excitement

I paid $550 when they first came out and they were absolutely worth it. This is a crazy deal.
Note: The headband is trash.

Any amp recommendations just to use with these headphones and nothing else?

Thanks,

Wish I would have gotten my Anandas for this price.
But I cant be picky, there is no difference really, other than what I paid. And I have gotten my value out of them by now.
