Iphone -> Audioquest Dragonfly Red -> Hifiman Ananda

I have a Leben CS 300 XS in my second system that I also use for headphone listening. But I mostly listen to headphones when I travel for work and I have a Woo Audio Topaz for that. My apologies @carl292 I didn’t mean to hijack your thread. Thanks @soix for your suggestions much appreciated!

How do you like the bass response of the Ananda? I have the Edition XS and I enjoy the sound for the most part. Bass is great although it does lack a bit of texture. My issue with them is the head band is horrendous so I’ve been thinking about switching to the Ananda or the Arya.

Thanks I’ve been leaning towards the Ananda Stealth.

The bass was my concern. The Edition XS have great bass but the headband is a joke. I hear what you’re saying with the Momentum’s, I have a pair of 3’s and the bass is insane. A bit much for me at times but really fun for certain genres.

@soix  thank you for your response that is very helpful. The bass you described in the Arya is what I’m looking for. That helps me with my decision and as you say the prices have come down dramatically so the cost to step up to the Arya is negligible. 
I will be driving them with a Leben cs 300 XS.

Yes I think I am however I’ll probably keep the Edition XS considering what they are going for on the used market and will look into the strap you suggested, Thank you for the recommendation.
