The HIFIMAN Edition XS is an open-back planar headphone that stands out for a huge soundstage, strong detail, and bass that can punch well above its price. It sounds excellent with a decent DAC and amp, but it can still play from weaker sources, especially with EQ. The main tradeoff is fit, since the cups are very large and the clamping force is light, so a comfort strap or careful head size matters. A few refurb units arrived with packaging gaps or audio defects, so testing it across the full range is wise. It is a compelling value if the fit works for you.
Large-headed listeners who can add a comfort strap, because the loose clamp can be tightened and the fit becomes workable for long sessions.
Music listeners chasing huge detail and wide staging, because the headphones sound far above their price and can be driven well with a decent amp.
Desk listeners who already use a headphone amp or DAC/amp, because the headphones scale with better power and sound fuller with proper amplification.
Story-driven single-player gamers who want immersion, because the soundstage is huge and the presentation is especially engaging for games with EQ support.
People with average-sized heads who want a secure out-of-the-box fit, because the headphones can slip off and have very little clamping force.
Gamers and movie watchers who want convincing front imaging, because the soundstage can feel stretched to the sides with little sense of sound coming from the front.
Buyers expecting plug-and-play use from a weak headphone jack, because the headphones are harder to drive and can sound subdued without enough current.
Refurb shoppers who need flawless units, because some arrivals have loose parts, missing packaging pieces, driver noise, or outright failures.

How did you get $91? It's $104 - $12 = $92 + tax now so i'm wondering.
Thanks.
Previously, these were 170+ from HIFIMAN direct for a refurb. I've always wanted to try planar headphones and so far have had several Sennheisers. ~100$ w tax is good enough for me, especially since the item is from HIFIMAN, shipping from New Jersey.
The sound quality is great and absolutely amazing at this price point. Like other have said, though, the headphone is kind of loose on the head even though my head is fairly large.
Coming from a he400se user these headphones are legit. The sound stage is huge and they do awesome with gaming. So much so my son stole them for gaming and was amazed.
For those worried about the pad you can buy, or 3d print a 'comfort' strap that will help with pressure on your head.
This is an extremely good buy for mid $80.

But heads up to anyone that bought it to test it out at the full range of frequencies.
