Hi everyone,

I stumbled across both used at the same price (around USD540 or so).

I'm not sure which to get:
- I love the clarity and extension of the Xeleneto
- comfort is really good (lightweight)
- but there's something about the Angie I really like. The sound is very thick and smooth.

Can anyone comment on either one? The Xelento still has 1-yr warranty left vs. the Angie is about 2 years old or so (no warranty). Both condition seem to be really good.

Thanks!

The difference between those two come down to the genres you listen to the most:

Xelento: Classical, Acoustical, Folk/Anti-Folk, Opera, less-bassy Indie Rock, etc.

JH Angie: EDM, Jazz, Hip-Hop/Rap, Metal, Pop, more-bass Indie Rock, etc.

If genres don’t mean that much to you, the Xelento look to be more comfortable with a better fit-and-finish.

I actually decided to purchase the Andromeda!

Imo, it’s the most coherent and versatile of the three.

Just buy from Amazon. That’s what I did.
