so long story short i liked how edition xs sound but comfort was unbearable to me, pressure point on top of my head so to speak ,my budget is around 400euro and i need open back something with good bass quality and not sibilant or harsh in top! power comes from ifi zen air stack ( zen air dac+ zen air amp)
my picks so far from one i am leaning most to least
those below i dont consider for reasons:
Ananda is not on the list because i had them sound wise i returned them for xs and i did not like that they scratch rail on headband part out of box
verum one - after read about threats sending arsenic to people it is nope
my picks so far from one i am leaning most to least
- aune ar5000- so far i see them praised and they look good seems to be very comfy
- moondrop para - those 8 ohms make me uncomfortable and qc but i assume planar bass will be there
- ollo s4x those are suppose to be flat for mixing but i heard they sound nice only part is comfort wise
- harmodyne zeus elite - i dont like that those are available only from china cant find them stock in eu
- hifiman he 560 v4 - from hifiman open box those are cheapest form bunch but i dont know i have enough juice for them from zen air can
- sivga -luan ,Pii especially pii took my interest but i see them way above their mrsp they should cost 350-ish but i see them for over 470eur
- and last is sundara but i am afraid it would feel like downgrade from edition xs
