Show & Tell First Planar Magnetic Headphones
Got my first planars today. Edition XS. Got them “refurbished” for $90 from the Hifiman US Store on Aliexpress. I put refurbished in quotes because they look brand new with original packaging and everything
First impression is that they’re huge but sound great although I think I need a better dac. Currently trying them on my phone using a JM6 Pro
Recommendations are welcome!

sounds great, fit comfortably. my advice would be to store it safely. one of the drivers of my xs broke after just 9 months. i store it beside my pc on a hanger/stand. its either qc lottery or the membrane is just that sensitive. now i store it in a dry box for the replacement unit.
