Our Verdict
Philips Fidelio X2HR
HiFiMan Edition XS
The HiFiMan Edition XS are better audiophile headphones than the Philips Fidelio X2HR. The HiFiMan have much more consistent audio delivery, and their passive soundstage is wider and more immersive. They can also reproduce low bass more accurately, which is great if you like to feel the thump of a kick drum. That said, the Philips are more comfortable.
