Am I nuts for not liking the Edition XS? (alien.top)

Granted, I've only been using the Edition XS for a couple of hours. I have the Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite IEM's as well. I like the Kiwi's much more. I feel like I can hear more detail and I just like the sound of them more than I do the Edition XS.

Also, My ears still touch the pads inside the Edition XS and it drives me nuts. I guess I'm just sticking with IEM's going forward because I have not been able to find a headphone that doesn't bother the heck out of my ears and I've tried quite a few headphones and returned due to comfort issues with my ears. Freaking stupid dumbo ears >_<

I have the Kiwi's EQ'd and they sound amazing and I can't get the Edition XS to match that. Am I nuts? I feel like I'm nuts from all of the reviews I've watched and read.

I still recommend you to spend a solid week with the Edition XS. It takes time to notice and hear the differences. Subjectively of course, one will be better.
