I just recently picked up a pair of HIFIMAN Edition XS. I was looking for a little more bass over the HIFIMAN Sundara which I've been using for the past 2 years. I'm liking them so far but am noticing a squeak in the padding because of my glasses. Taking off my glasses removes this squeak completely so I know that's the problem (not with the audio).
Any advice on how to resolve this? I've seen the Dekoni pads but wasn't sure which one to go with or if I even should, since this will add another ~$100 to the cost, maybe I just look at the Anandas while in the return window? I'm mostly gaming with these and some music listening while working from home.
Aside from that, I'm using a TOPPING DX3 Pro+ is this sufficient for my use case? I'm new to higher end audio equipment and wasn't really looking to break the bank. I use the BT 5.1 feature for my OLED TV/Monitor setup for movies which is nice. USB for everything on the PC.

Are the pads on the Edition XS and the Arya Stealth the same? I'm using the Edition XS but the pads squeak with my glasses and was looking at maybe buying the Arya Stealth but was concerned the pads would squeak as well. I had no issues with the Sundara.
