I'm curious if anyone had experience with Hifiman's 30 day return policy. According to their website there is no restocking fee if its returned in like-new condition. I would have to pay the return shipping fee. Located in USA.

I'm tempted to try the Edition XS, Arya non-Stealth, Arya Stealth, and Arya Organic, then only keeping one and returning the rest.

The same has been on my mind once or twice. Because my personal experience with HFM CS is hit and miss I'd make your intention known to them. Transparency goes a long way. Getting a customer friendly answer is go ahead, no satisfying answer or none at all I'd suggest checking with retailers instead, who even might have a better price.

Hifiman honored the 30 day return policy. I kept the Edition XS and returned both Aryas.

As they should What made you keep the XS?

The bass sounded very good and deep on certain tracks, but I may end up selling them. Still preferring Focal Elex to all three.

Arya non stealth would be good if I didn’t already have an Elex.

Arya Organic is a mix of the XS and Arya non stealth but I couldn’t get into them. Maybe with a longer hands on time, I could get a better judge on them. Juggling 3 headphones in only one month is a bit much. The XS and Organic changed over time but Ayra was the same.
