It’s just the bass, most Hifimans lack this. You can try Monolith 1060C with recessed mids or 1070C without recessed mids.

Monolith 1570 will have more depth.

Right, but I’d wager it’s more fun pairing some Hifimans with V shaped planars like the 1060C and 1570s.

By the way, would you say the Edition XS is kind of the beginning of that Sundara + Bass journey or do we have to look at $1k+?

Do they have more bass or sufficient bass? I’ve been looking at Edition XS lately to upgrade from the Sundara.

xs bass is like super flat and goes down to like 6hz. It’s my favorite bass response of a headphone so far. If you have a ifi zen can it has a bass curve button and it works so well on xs. The bass can be shaking the headphone but doesn’t overpower the other frequencies

Oh that is interesting. The bass boost on the zen dacs are kind of single frequency. Doesn’t extend the bass. Got tired of it after the first month.

So they added more sub-bass to the XS. Cool 😎
