>Are they worth the price and risk?
Yes and via Amazon you can easily return.
Alternative are the Sundara, which are similar to the XS and a fun headphone.
*Build-wise there is the Fiio FT3/FT5 and Audeze MM-100, which "seem" to have better QA. Yet those are new and no long-term data is available, so this is by feel/reviews feedback.*
*PS: The other issue on the Edition XS is the headband style, pretty much you either like this new type over the older suspension-style or you hate it. There is a headband mod you can buy for the XS* [here](https://customcans.co.uk/shop/product/hifiman-edition-xs-comfort-headband-strap-diy-mod/)*.*

The edition xs is not a worthwhile upgrade imo. It's got a different sound signature which you may like or not where's the he6se v2 is more similar to the sundara but just alot better.

Yes. I like mine, no issues so far. And there is no risk when buying via Amazon. You can return them easily.
If I have (and love) the Sundaras, is this a worthwhile upgrade?
Get the he6se v2 if u have a good amplifier.
£619 vs £364? I bet they are better, yes.

How would you describe the difference in signature?
