I should have made it clear that I only gave those recommendations based of sound quality + same price bracket, not on build quality. The Ananda stealth is built way better than the L300 that’s essentially plastic with a weak headband. Regarding the focals mine only creak if I move around alot but I get were you are coming from. The pads for the clears are available for $80 I believe. I dont think you can find a headphone ~$500 in the pricerange of the 3 I mentioned with that quality of sound, Maybe a Beyer T1?

Thats still a hifiman tho, might as well get the ananda stealth.

I have a pair of Hifiman Edition xs; what am I missing out on with the Anandas?

You knew.

theyre close, I just believe the Ananda stealth is better. But if you have one no need to get the other, save you money for an Arya if you like the hifiman sound

Anandas sound even a bit more 'clean' than the XS, slightly less bass, slightly more treble. Slightly more detailed I've heard.

Oh dang even cleaner than the xs sounds nice but the bass response on the XS is exquisite.
