Note 1: Sorry if this isn't the right place. Since it's a mod question, thought it'd be appropriate
So I e-mailed Hifiman customer support recently asking them if they sell spare XS headbands and if it'd fit on the Ananda. They said no to both, and specifically that the type of headband that comes on the Ananda is the only type that will work with it. This strikes me as BS, since from what I can tell the XS has the same size headphones and uses the same type of screws to keep the headband in place.
I'm not sure if anyone's tried this out yet, but I'd like to ask for any possible experience and/or input at least, or maybe even some warnings as to why it may not work. For the longest time for example, I thought maybe swapping the Ananda headband for that of the He400se would work, only to realise the He400se arms on its headband aren't long enough to accommodate for the Ananda
