Hifiman Edition XS

(I imagine other Hifiman in that form factor may be similar, but the XS is what I have)

I wonder if they fit much different than Sundaras or it's just my head. I can't wear my Sundaras for more than ~2 hours without having to fight off the discomfort building up.

If it helps, the Edition XS for me is the single most comfortable headphone I've ever used. Comfort is subjective, but I can wear them for hours. They just seem to disappear.

For me, it's one of the least comfortable headphones I've tried. The headband is super-stiff which doesn't work well with its weight and loose clamping.

Nah, you would need to step up to the Arya with the suspension headband. It is legit the most comfortable headphone out there not just Hifiman assuming the egg shape doesn’t push on your jaw weird (only complaint I have heard). Plus you get better bass extension with better detail.

Still not going to sound like speakers tho.
