I am 24 Hours in. I am using Roon w/Tidal > DragonTail > JitterBug > Red and sometimes my Red as a DAC > Tower > Vali 2. I have been playing my XLO System Burn-in Track in between listening sessions
If someone broke into my house tonight and took my SR325e and HD600 but left the Edition S, I might be okay with it. If you love the Grado "House Sound", these may be your Holy Grail of Headphones. I know that's a lot of hyperbole. More impressions to come.
I do love the Edition S but I've actually never liked Grado headphones too much myself. . . .
I do see that like many others, you have noticed that the Edition S performs equally or better than more expensive and higher-end headphones, quite possibly better than the likes of the HD600 Pretty amazing, huh? Especially considering how much harder it is to drive the HD600 well, as opposed to the Edition S which can easily be powered by anything! The Edition S sounds great out of my QP1R, which can only do a lackluster job powering the likes of the HD600.
Who says that dynamic-driver headphones need to be high-impedance or low-sensitivity in order to sound really good? Sennheiser seems to think so, so does Beyerdynamic, and many other companies, but it seems that isn't necessarily true with top-notch modern engineering.
