Reply to comment by fretit in Considering getting a Hifiman Edition XS as a companion to my HD 650s - would love to hear from those who own or have auditioned both by fretit

Keep in mind the vast difference between the headbands. planars are heavy AF and personally a planar without a suspension style headband is unusable to me, the hotspot at the top of the head appears even after short listening sessions.

That alone would push me to the Anandas

Thanks for that tip. I didn't realize both Hifiman are about 60% heavier than the 650. And I do see a lot of mixed reviews for the headband of the XS, especially from people who think it is too big for their heads.
