Yeah, I think I overreacted a little bit.

I actually tried the XS. It is a great headphone except for some very slight artificial "sheen" to the sound. And even though my head was big enough for the band (one click seemed to be the best position), it felt a little loose on my head when I leaned forward or when I moved side to side. So I returned it and got the Ananda, but they sent me the older version, so I returned that as well.

I am just going to wait a little for the dust to settle and probably order directly from HIFIMAN instead of Amazon.
