Many people use headphones like sneharizer and beyerdynamic for 15 or 20 years. But how long do hifiman headphones last? Can you tell me your experiences?

I've had my Sundaras for 3 years now and they work and sound just as good as the day that I bought them.

Which do you prefer, the Ananda or the Edition XS? I see both of them are around $400 right now so I was curious of the major differences you noticed (with sound, not fit).

I have both the Edition XS and the Sundaras. I think the Sundara headphones fit better, the XS are very big. The Edition XS has better sound staging and sound slightly cleaner in my opinion.

Nice, thanks for your feedback. I've got lots of add-on headband pads that may fix the size issue, so I might jump on the XS soon.

You won’t regret it. I have the XS and the new Arya organic and the gap is rather small. I mainly use the Arya at home and use the XS when traveling or in the office.

Also good to know, thanks!

If you do you'll have to let me know which headphone pads help with this. Enjoy!

For sure, if I do I'll remember to get back to you and let you know.
