Question What's your next HiFi purchase?

[Revolutions]

So Revs did you get a set if so love to hear more what brand and how you found the sound?

I went for Hifiman edition xs. Totally astonished, tbh. They’re massive & look ridiculous. All is forgiven as soon as the music starts- I remember reading someone say it’s like listening to speakers & it’s really true. So much space & room in the sound. Makes my HD580s sound flat & closed in when directly compared, and I really like how those sound.

Have you got planars?

I havent yet but keep reading rave reviews and Jason of course .I dont care how they look if they sound that good i will get some will need to do some research .Do you have yours plugged into a headphone Amp if so what one ?.
I have a Zen can 3 Amp but was looking at getting the Fiio k13 when /if it goes down in price .

why did you choose the Hifiman ?

I went with the Hifiman as I didn’t want to spend loads- don’t listen on headphones at home much. At the cheaper end I read loads of reviews & it seems most people agreed that the edition xs offers a lot for the money. And I remember Jason talking fondly about his.

I’d originally planned to go to RS and do some headphone listening, but they didn’t have the edition xs in the sale, nor some of the similar priced competition I was considering. No regrets for my blind purchase. But now I have 4 pairs of headphones. Admittedly, 2 of them are mainly for music demos with & a friend.

Amp is a Schiit Magni unity. Nice and simple from the line out of my Linn. Annoyingly I have to turn my speakers off to use the headphones, but takes about 5 seconds to do 😁
