Reply to comment by pkelly500 in Hifiman Edition XS and Moondrop Venus - Mid-fi Meh by slooploop2

Again, I’ve totally fixed that with EQ, planars take it quite well.

I wouldn’t say it lacks substance, just needs more oomph from the bass range.

I’ll also add, the headphones benefited a lot from a good DAC and Amplifier

Well aware. I own Audeze planars, which have far better bass both stock and with EQ than HiFiMan.

I don’t doubt that, but the XS and those planars are at completely different price points.

Not really. Dan Clark Aeon Open X are $429 at Drop. Audeze LCD-X can be purchased new on Black Friday for $450 and used for $450-500 year-round.
