  3.0 out of 5 stars Sundara is far more superior in nearly every aspect

  Edition XS. Where to start?
  It’s a cheap version of the old Amanda Stealth. Nearly identical frequency response measurements and specs. But with an awful headband and cheap materials.
  
  The headband hurts and rubs on my head. Leaves hotspot and dent at the top of my head. Hybrid headband on Sundara is excellent by comparison.
  
  It’s a power hog. Little bass until you try a powerful amp like a THX 789 with balanced cables (5 watts max) or a Topping A70 Pro. A lower wattage amp would need a very high damping factor or current to drive these properly.
  
  They don’t take EQ well and don’t produce a lot of bass even with EQ. By comparison, the Sundara has dramatic changes in sound with EQ at any frequency and WAY more bass when EQ is added.
  
  Sundara doesn’t need nearly as much power to drive them. Even a mojo 2 with a bass shelf is fine. Mojo 2 can’t drive XS well at all.
  
  The only plus the XS has is it sounds a bit more open than Sundara.
  
  In summary, buy a Sundara. You will be so much happier with them.
