The Arya would be my dream (if not an 800s), but not everybody got over $1000 😔
I was hoping to get a taste of upper-end sound without breaking the bank.

They offer a extended warranty? I accidentally sat on my Sundara once.

Isn’t it always a gamble to buy old Hifiman through Ali? Like a quality control disaster waiting to happen.

Man the Ananda is $200 more :(
I’m torn because the Edition XS has better bass and is $200 cheaper, but the Ananda has better comfort, better detail and soundstage, better mids and highs, and is easier to drive.

I don’t know how to use Sensitivty and Impedance specs sadly lol
I know they dictate the ease of driving them but I’m a noob

Wait 10x?!?
Does that mean it’ll be quiet through a apple adapter?

How does the Ananda compare to the XS in your opinion?
I’ve heard the Edition XS described as like a bassier Ananda without the ski head band.

>after a while their faults began to shine through like a flashlight, then I’d wind up buying a slightly better set that would only satisfy me for a time
You may just have that typical audiophile FOMO lol
