Hey OP, saw you have the dusk! I personally love my Blessing 2's, and occasionally use them with the dusk EQ though I honestly can't tell much of a difference between it and my personal EQ.

How do you feel the mids and treble on the XS compare to the dusk? Id love to make the jump to these as my end game until further notice, but man I just fucking love the mids on these Blessing 2's. I personally can't stand sennheisers so it's always been a search for me to find something that is a bit of an all arounder. Mids being the star of the show, Solid Bass, and I definitely lean to the slightly bright side of treble, so the B2s felt perfect for me.

Do you think the XS would be a solid jump? I absolutely loved the Sundara's with some sub bass EQ when I had them.

I can compare the two a bit later. Would you use EQ with XS and what do you like about the mids that's less good with something else? What song would be a good example of that?

That would be awesome! And honestly i'm fairly basic in terms of EQ, I usually just give a sub bass boost and that's it. As for Mids, I would clarify and say vocals really. As much as I enjoy bass, Vocals and treble is really what I get my enjoyment from. I pretty much always want the best aspect of my listening experience to come from vocals.

Female vocals: https://open.spotify.com/track/5cRKj1kynNFqiliT2ndZ3y?si=0dd229313b124ee1 In particular 2:30-3:00 or so is something I use to judge headphones a lot since I know how it sounds and it's got a little bit of everything.

And something on the complete opposite side of the spectrum that is the "style" of music I regularly listen to in terms of bass/treble: https://open.spotify.com/track/260jSxvzkFt71ksvkcy2ke?si=3fef393c754b48ca

I was going to look for something with male vocals but honestly there's not a lot of songs with them that I particularly enjoy the vocals on. Maybe some Sam Smith but some of those are terribly recorded.

For what it's worth I used to have a pair of LCD-GX which after EQ'ing I was told by a Audeze rep wouldn't be much different than a less resolving X.
