HIFIMAN Edition XS Open-Back Headphones | Stealth Magnets & NsD Diaphragm

Experience a Wider Soundstage with the Edition XS

The HIFIMAN Edition XS redefines your listening space with an open-back design and a refined aesthetic in matte black. Built to satisfy audiophiles who value both detail and comfort, these full-size headphones blend advanced engineering with everyday usability. At the heart of the Edition XS are Stealth Magnet Technology and the NsD (Neo Supernano) diaphragm, delivering a natural, expansive sonic landscape that draws you into the music rather than pushing sound at you.

Designed for long sessions, the Edition XS balances precision with musicality. The result is a broad, immersive soundstage where instruments breathe freely and micro-details stay intact, even as the playback scales across genres. The design embraces a lightweight headband and high-grade memory foam for comfort, so you can focus on the music without distraction. The exterior’s refined matte black finish is durable enough for daily use, while a sturdy internal structure holds its shape over time.

What makes the Edition XS stand out

• Acoustically invisible Stealth Magnet Technology minimizes wave diffraction, helping preserve the integrity of the original recording with reduced distortion.
