Reply to comment by elaboratecorpse in Edition XS review (vs LCD-X, HE6se V2, Bathys + EQ) by hurtyewh

Yeah, I could've mentioned that I'm a big guy with a head to match and the first notch is as far as I'd need to go. Someone with a giant head would likely be very happy about this, but people with smaller ones might have issues. I can't really use the Ananda since they don't swivel and the pads put pressure behind my ears and don't seal in front.

Sorry my dude, that was not a shot at your review at all. Thought it was very informative.

When I started looking at the XS, a lot of reviews never mentioned how big they were (maybe this is just a 'known' thing in the community). People mention the headband a lot, but it's mostly about comfort. Imagine my surprise when I put those bad boys on haha. maybe other than the sundara, I assume it's mostly just a hifiman thing, with those big old egg cans.

No worries, I didn't take it as such. Just realized that it is something worth mentioning. In general I don't mention comfort and build much since I have no idea what is the Harman target equivalent for comfort and very rarely do I have any issues worth mentioning anyway so I'm stuck in an extremely subjective point of view.
