no its not worth. they are basically the same headphone with a different headband, thats pretty much it.

I don’t think it will add anything, but I’ve heard the Edition XS has better sub bass than the Arya. Also why do you still have the Sundara? I wasn’t a fan of the Sundara, there was nothing special, but then I got the Arya and they were so much better and way more enjoyable.

The answer to this question should be obvious. The Arya is basically a one and done headphone. You don’t really need to worry about other headphones especially downgrading to a lower Hifiman when the Arya does everything better. I don’t understand why some people don’t do much research before purchasing expensive headphones.

Rule 2: Ask purchase and shopping questions in the Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk

Requests for product opinions, comparisons, and general purchase advice must be made in the dedicated Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk instead of a new post.

Portable audio related purchase advice may also be asked in r/HeadphoneAdvice but please familiarize yourself with their rules first.

What questions are considered purchase advice?

• A request for product suggestions, comparison requests, or opinion requests fall under the purchase advice rule. These can often be found by searching first.

• Any suggestion or comparison request pertaining to headphones, IEMs, DACs, amps, or other accessories should be directed to the purchase help thread or r/headphoneadvice.

• Asking the subreddit to help make a decision to buy a product does fall under this rule (e.g. “should I get dekoni pads for my HD650?”).

Why does this rule even exist?

• In short, this is a large subreddit with a high volume. We want to help, but it’s important to keep things organized to keep the sub fun. Thanks for your understanding.
