Yuri! Titov, Tereshkova... I followed all the manned action being born in '57 with two Engineers for parents.Hi there! Are XS brighter than Deva (wired)? I see that reviewers tend to mention crisp highs and sometimes almost sibilants, which I usually do not prefer. Main reason why I think to change my Deva - is to add some bass (just a bit, like Deva sounds if you pull the cups 1 cm away from your ears) The highs on the other hand (not technical details, but overall brightness) is absolutely ok for me on Deva, so when reviews mentioned that XS has a slightly more bass they got my attention.
I'm thinking about having an upgrade and exploring LCD2c and XS at the moment (though LCD is twice more expensive, has membrane durability issues for such price and the pads are also subjectively hot) while XS reviews bothers me for the highs, didn't have a chance to test them yet. LCD2c has an uplift in higher mid region which has an effect (for me) that lower mids are somehow suppressed (while they are not) not sure if I like it yet...
Could give advice if I knew equipment and musical tastes and what you look for - detail, soundstage, bass, no difficult treble...
