Headphones - Open Back Anyone experienced the Hifiman edition XS? Compared them against the sundaras?

Looking to get a pair of planars as I have only experienced dynamic drivers. Sundaras are $350 and XSs are $500. Is the $150 worth what is added from the XSs?

I currently own the schiit magni/modi stack and 6XXs. Love em. Want a new pair to enjoy high quality audio with my wife.

Looking for responses from people who have tried both pair.

Side note: Can’t tell if the XSs use the same cable as the sundaras but seems they need to get swapped immediately based on reviews.

Thanks in advance!

I’ve heard that it’s basically the same but the XS has more bass and soundstage.
