Review: The Hifiman Edition XS: Soundstage Wizardry Let's be honest, we've all chased that "high-end" sound, often with wallets weeping. But then, HIFIMAN dropped the Edition XS, and suddenly, the goalposts moved. This isn't just a good headphone; it's a game-changer that proves you don't have to sell a kidney for true planar magnetic magic. The Experience: Where Does the Music Go? Slap these big, beautiful, egg-shaped cans on, hit play, and immediately, you forget you're wearing headphones. The first thing that grabs you is the sheer space. HIFIMAN is the undisputed king of soundstage, but the XS takes that crown and runs with it. It doesn't just sound wide; it sounds holographic. Close your eyes, and the band isn't just in front of you; they're ten feet away, in their own perfectly mapped-out room. That drummer in your favorite classic rock track? They're not a blob of sound anymore—they're positioned five steps behind the lead guitarist, and you can hear the reverb decay off the back wall. It genuinely gives you that thrilling, "out-of-body" feeling where the music truly leaves your skull. It breathes new life into tracks you thought you knew inside and out. It's an event, not just listening. The Sound: The Planar Punch This is the sound of speed and control. Planar drivers are inherently snappy, and the XS capitalizes on that. The Bass: It’s a physicist's bass: tight, controlled, and perfectly linear. No artificial boom or woolliness here. But when that sub-bass note hits in a cinematic score or a heavy track, the driver moves with such effortless velocity that it hits you fast and retreats just as quickly. You get texture, definition, and depth—the kind of bass that lets you feel the vibrating strings, not just the low frequency. The Detail: Thanks to those "Stealth Magnets", which trust me are more than just marketing—the sound is unbelievably clean. The noise floor just vanishes. You start hearing the tiny things: the singer taking a breath, the subtle brushwork on the snare, the faint studio effects you never knew were there. It’s ruthlessly revealing but manages to do it without being aggressive or tiring. You can happily disappear for hours. The Trade-Off: Where They Saved a Buck Look, if a headphone sounds this good for the money, they had to cut a corner somewhere. And with the Edition XS, it’s the fit and the finish. The Fit: They are huge, and the headband is the definition of functional, not fancy. If you don't have a large head, getting them to sit securely can be a struggle. They also have a light clamp, which is great for comfort but means you should treat them like delicate desktop statues. Do not plan on walking around in these. The Feel: The sound drivers are flagship-grade, but the rest of the chassis is just... okay. It feels like HIFIMAN had $100 for the frame and $400 for the tech, and they allocated their budget wisely. The hinges and plastic parts are sturdy enough, but they don't have that reassuring thunk of premium metal. And honestly? I don't care. I'd take this sound in a cardboard box. The Final Word The Hifiman Edition XS is a technical titan. It’s the headphone that allows enthusiasts to punch way above their weight class. If you value a mind-blowing soundstage and sonic clarity above all else, and you have a quiet listening space, this is a must-own. It's the sound of the high-end, made accessible.

## Features

- 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 supero 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 “supero” 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.

*by J***I on 19 January 2026*

I don't write many reviews, but I can give you the important details. Sound Quality: What most of you are wondering. These are incredible. If you have critical listening ears, you will love these. Good soundstage and great open back planar magnetics. You can run these balanced or not. I ran these through my Fiio BTR5 and they sounded great! These are a bit bright, which I like, and the Fiio is a warm DAC/AMP which pairs great with these. You should get a DAC or AMP. You can still run these through a laptop or phone, but a DAC/AMP would be better. Remember these let noise in, but that's every open back. Great sound profile and amazing instrument separation. Rich bass and detail. What can I say? You gotta listen for yourself. Build Quality: Solid. I paid $209 not $500. Hifiman delivered here. Good quality cable, and material. No complaints. Yes there is some plastic, but it doesn't compromise. Will be a bit squeaky with glasses, keep that in mind. So it squeaks with glasses which is unfortunate, but not a deal breaker. I can wear them for hours. Comfort: So these are big. I didn't even need to extend them at all. Doesn't clamp too much on my head which is great. I have a normal sized head, and these fit my just right where I can live with them. Just know the earcups have to create a good seal. I don't mind the headband design, its fine. Not many complaints, just know these are bigger than the Sundaras and HE400SE. The Sundaras or HE400SE will be better if you are worried about these being too big. You can also try these out and see if you like them, which is what I did, and thank God these fit just right. Conclusion: If you are looking for some high end headphones, for $200, these are the best in the market. $500??? Still these. Simply amazing. Hifiman outdid themselves here and provided value for the consumer. I tested these and the HE400SE together, and these are so worth the extra $100 if you can afford it. Better than the Sundaras from what I have heard. These are awesome!
