There's not a whole lottof information on Hifiman's newest teaser from RMAF2105... But here's a few photo's and I will update as more information rolls in.

Weight: 240g (lightest Hifiman yet!)
Driver Technology: Dynamic Driver
Expected Price: $200-300
What we know:

Single sided cable
Removable earcups (allows for both open and closed configurations???)
First Impressions:

First Impressions:
What many people were not expecting was yet another new headphone from HiFiMAN called the Edition S. This additional edition will be the lowest-priced model in Hifiman’s line at $199. Unlike its planar magnetic siblings, the S will be a dynamic driver headphone. It can be used in open-back mode and it comes with little magnetic plates to cover the back of the ear cups. I can’t think of another headphone right now that can be run with both options and I think this flexibility will appeal to many. It also folds up for easy transportation and has a removable cable using a single-entry 3.5mm TRS jack.
This unit is still in the process of being tuned so what CanJam attendees heard is not final. However, it’s got a fun bass-heavy signature that should be appealing to fans of electronica or hip-hop. With its removable cable, it may also be a good candidate for a fun gaming headphone. These headphones are still in early development and will hopefully launch by the end of the year, but a date has not yet been set. Hifiman is experimenting with this new naming convention so both of the new titles here may also be subject to change.
