I'm used to use a DT770, and to be honest, i dont have the feeling this is a step up in sound quality...
for this price, you'd expect something else.. i got the feeling the high-end is missing, the sound is very muffled. Mids and lows are good.
The edition xs is more comfortable, yes, for sure. Bigger ear cup, less clamping force but still sticks to your head because its lighter.
The cable is worse, as it is not strechable/spring-like
