Planar Magnetic Drivers
Planar magnetic drivers combine characteristics of several driver types. They employ magnetic fields akin to dynamic and balanced armature drivers. However, planar magnetic drivers, like electrostatic drivers, use a flat, thin diaphragm in contrast to a coil. The planar drivers are known for their quick transient response.
Open-Back Design
Headphones with an open-back design, allow air to pass through the earcups. This means that Open-Backs do not block any noise from around you, as closed-backs do, and music being heard will also leak outside to people around you. So they can only be heard in a quiet environment.
However, Open-back headphones do sound more natural and open. Open-back headphones create a feeling of space, presenting audio as if you are sitting at a live concert. Audiophiles swear by open-back headphones, and they sound quite different to closed-backs.
These headphones are perfect for critical listening sessions, mixing and mastering music. They have an accurate soundstage presentation and precise imaging.
Replaceable Cables
A pair of headphones with a replaceable cable has many benefits, and one of them is if the connecting cable has a problem, it doesn’t mean that you have to buy a new one. If the connecting cable gets pulled or damaged, you can replace it and keep using your good-old headphones or IEMs. This way, your headphones will be protected and will last longer. With the advancements in cable manufacturing, you now get a variety of replacement cables with various termination options, lengths and quality.
Needs Amplification
Headphones and IEMs require a certain level of power to sound their best and work at their full potential. When your headphones or IEMs are underpowered, they can sound thin or muffled.
Amplifiers are required to provide adequate power to your headphone or IEMs to perform at their best. Simply put, amplifiers allow a weak audio signal to be boosted to a powerful one.
To put it into perspective, devices such as your phones and laptops come with an amplifier, but they offer very limited output power. This output may not be sufficient to power headphones and IEMs to shine at their best. This is where a dedicated amplifier is required to deliver adequate power to hear your music in all its glory.
A recent review I read compared the Edition XS to the Arya, which is several times the price and said it came pretty close. I have to say, that it's not an exaggeration. They are such a big step up from the Sundara, that I think it's easy to understand why. I think the XS is my favourite Hifiman from their entire lineup.

DESCRIPTION
HIFIMAN INTRODUCES THE NEW EDITION XS, AN UPGRADE TO THE WIDELY POPULAR EDITION X
HiFiMAN, founded by owner Dr Fang in New York, is one of the leading personal audio brands. It is renowned for its critically-acclaimed Planar-Magnetic headphones that feature state-of-the-art driver technology. HiFiMAN stands apart, one of which is that they are a highly innovative company that strives to improve in every price range. Meet the all-new Edition XS planar magnetic headphones from HiFiMAN. Coming as a successor to the award-winning HiFiMAN Edition X, the latest Edition XS features an all-new Neo Super-Nano Diaphragm and Stealth Magnet technology. It leaves you in awe with deep-hitting bass response, lush vocals, energetic treble and a wide 3D soundstage. Enjoy your favourite music with the quintessential HiFiMAN Edition XS.


PLANAR MAGNETIC DRIVERS FUSED WITH NEO DIAPHRAGM AND STEALTH MAGNET TECH TO DELIVER PHENOMENAL AUDIO PRESENTATION
HiFiMAN has mastery in designing and developing full-sized planar magnetic headphones. The latest Edition XS uses a newly developed planar magnetic driver with an ultra-thin diaphragm coil known as Neo super-nano diaphragm that is 75% thinner resulting in fast response with excellent tonal balance. The driver produces a quick response with sound definition and less distortion. This new driver works in conjunction with stealth magnets, which prevent interference by allowing sound waves to flow through them undetected. It works by maintaining the integrity of the sound waves as they exit the diaphragm by reshaping the magnets themselves to reduce wave diffractions and distortion. 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.




THE STEALTH MAGNET AND OPEN-BACK DESIGN OFFER WIDE FREQUENCY RESPONSE AND SOUNDSTAGE
HiFiMAN developed the stealth magnet design for their flagship Susvara and has featured the same technology with the latest Edition XS. For this, HiFiMAN has optimised the air turbulence and reflection of the sound waves inside the driver cavity. This design makes the magnet invisible in front of the sound waves and results in refined audio performance. Aside from improved acoustic performance, the Edition XS has a low impedance of 18Ω and sensitivity of 92dB. The HiFiMAN Edition XS's imaging and staging capabilities are progressive, providing you with a high level of precision. The Stealth Magnets allow a recording to come through more accurately. The HiFiMAN Stealth Magnet design enhances the perceived soundstage while enhancing the tone and timbre.






REDESIGNED WITH A NEW HEADBAND AND 3.5MM SOCKETS TO OFFER BETTER COMFORT
HiFiMAN has designed a new headband for the Edition XS. This headband is familiar with their recently launched HE400i headphones and offers better comfort and durability. The new headband is lightweight and ergonomically structured, offering maximum comfort for hours of listening pleasure. The exterior is 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 Edition XS also features new 3.5mm sockets for connectivity which are similar to those found on most common audio devices. The included 3.5mm cable is user changeable and replaceable.

FAQs
What is the warranty period on the HiFiMAN Edition XS and how do I claim it?
All HiFiMAN products come with 1 year of warranty. To claim warranty read more on HiFiMAN warranty here. We are very helpful guys, just saying.
Which drivers are used in HiFiMAN Edition XS?
The HiFiMAN Edition XS is loaded with Planar magnetic drivers that delivers an excellent audiophile sound.
Can I use the HiFiMAN Edition XS for long hours?
The HiFiMAN Edition XS is made of lightweight that allows you to use them for long hours without experiencing fatigue. The soft leather headband and over-ear design with memory foam earpads also helps in the same.
Does the HiFiMAN Edition XS come with mic?
No, the HiFiMAN Edition XS does not come with a microphone.
What do “Impedance” and “Ohms” mean?
Impedance is the so-called alternating-current resistance that headphones have under specific standard conditions. On devices with low output impedance, headphones are the louder, the lower their impedance is. In principle, we recommend that you choose headphones with low impedance for use on devices that are operated by battery/rechargeable battery (i.e. most portable devices such as smartphones, tablet computers but also notebooks). You can distinguish between high and low impedance. Usually, the gradations 18 Ω, 32 Ω, and 80 Ω are used in the low range. In the high range, 250 Ω are common. If you want to get the most out of your system (and it has the power to do so), choose a model with 600 Ω.

"It is pretty light on the head and very comfy. They completely swallow your ears, which also means a good seal, but not too much pressure on the temples."

Read More"The sound is exactly what you would expect from HiFiMAN headphones: it has very good bass presence and depth, but an overall neutral-bright tonality that goes well with many different genres."
