HIFIMAN Edition S portable Closed/Open Back On-Ear Dynamic Headphones

Sep 17, 2016

Great sounding, comfortable, portable, well-built OVER-EAR headphones

First let me say that these are not really on-ear headphones. My ears fit very comfortably inside the pads, and I my ears are not small by any means. I'm not sure why Hifiman markets them as on-ear, and I personally don't like headphones that sit on top of my ears, so I'm glad they're not really on-ear. They're actually some of the most comfortable over-ear headphones I've ever had for long listening sessions. Of course the unique feature of these headphones is the fact that they can convert from closed to open headphones. This makes them great on the go and great at home. As you would expect, the sound is a bit better in the open configuration, imaging and soundstage improves the most, but overall they just sound a bit warmer, less congested and more airy as open headphones. This isn't to say they sound bad closed, far from it they're some of the best closed headphones you can buy for less than $500. Bass is strong with good extension, but never over the top, it's never muddy and it never compromises the other frequencies. Mids are smooth and detailed, present but not forward. The highs are well extended, not quite as smooth when closed as when open, but I wouldn't call them harsh by any means. Build quality seems good, lots of plastic but it seems to be high quality plastic. There are portable headphones that feel more premium, like the Denon AH-MM400 or Oppo PM-3, but having heard both I'm confident in saying that these sound better and they're more comfortable, with the added benefit that when you get home you can take off the back covers and have an excellent pair of open headphones for quiet listening. All that and they cost less than the Denons or Oppos. The only area of any "weakness" is probably isolation, they only offer maybe 70% of the isolation of your average closed headphones. It was good enough to use at a comfortable volume in public, so I didn't mind. Bottom line, buy these headphones!
