Edition XS: A Major Upgrade of the Popular Edition X

The new Edition XS expands on its predecessor’s achievements with several essential upgrades. Featuring Stealth Magnet Technology and the company’s NEO supernano Diaphragm, the Edition XS produces awide, natural soundstage that puts the listener in the best seat in the house. The NEO supernano diaphragm is 80% thinner than the original version, resulting in lightning-fast response for detailed sonic output without discernible distortion.

Edition XS from HIFIMAN brings the depth and range of well-recordedmusic to an affordably priced headphone.

Stealth Magnets Design

Unlike the sound waves created by a conventional magnet, the special shape of Stealth Magnets enables the waves to pass through the magnets without generating interference.

HIFIMAN’s advanced magnet design is acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing wave diffraction turbulence that degrades the integrity of the sound waves. The reduced distortion yields pure sonic output that is accurate and full-range.

Why Choose Edition XS

The new NsD is 80% thinner than previous designs, resulting in fastresponse and detailed image withlush, full range sonics.

The Headband

The light weight, ergonomically accurate offers maximum comfortfor hours of listening pleasure. The exterior is refined matte black material, and the interior features high-grade memory foam for the most comfortable fit and elasticity. The headphone’s structural design supports overall durability that retains its comfortable fit for years of enjoyment.

The Cable

HIFIMAN’s new 3.5mm sockets are similar to those found on most common audio devices. The supplied 3.5mm cable is user changeable and replaceable.

User Instruction& Troubleshooting

Please allow for a period of “burn in” where you allow playback of audio for a period of 150 hours to allow the headphones to reach their fullest audio potential.The headphone connectors utilize a new 3.5mm connector (our prior models use 2.5mm). They slot in an identical fashion to the standard 3.5mm sockets as found on a multitude of audio devices.The supplied cable 3.5mm is user changeable and replaceable. A 6.35mm adapter can also be used in addition with the standard 3.5mm jack to enable use on outputs with a 6.35mm socket.Be aware the Edition XS is relatively sensitive so please make sure to turn the volume dial low before connecting to an audio source.Please listen to the Edition XS at moderate listening levels so that you can continue to enjoy their audio quality for years to come.Please refrain from touching the drivers as they do not require user maintenance and any contact may potentially damage the diaphragm.Hissing/buzzing/noise: To prevent any unwanted noise or buzzing in your headphones caused by dust or hair on the membrane, it is recommended to store them in a dry, cool, and safe place.If you happen to notice any dust or hair on the driver, please remove it gently without touching the diaphragm.Sound quality not as expected/muffled sound/too quiet/not functioning: Planar headphones require a break-in period to achieve optimal performance. Typically, this process takes up to 150 hours. It’s important to note that the Edition XS headphones also require an adequate audio source to function properly. Please be aware that your phone or PC may not have sufficient power for the Edition XS headphones.Stopped working/distortion: If you are using an amplifier to drive your headphones, it’s crucial to check the DC voltage of the amplifier. Testing the output of your amplifier is essential to ensure its proper functioning. You can measure the voltage and current delivered to your speakers using a multimeter. For the headphones to be powered correctly without any damage, the multimeter should read less than 10 mV. While a DC voltage of less than 100mV generally doesn’t cause damage, it may degrade sound quality and result in sound distortion.Parts missing: The Edition XS headphones are accompanied by a 3.5mm-to-3.5mm stock cable and a 6.35mm adapter. These accessories can be found in the small black box included in the package, which also serves as a protective packaging for the headphones.
