Susvara

Got reacquainted with their Susvara and calls it the best headphone, even if not instantly impressive.

Their Susvara bought from a reseller arrived looking new but with the right driver louder than the left.

Recently got the Susvara and it sounds excellent on everything from a dongle to the Pietus Maximus.

Their Susvara sounded dull on a Cayin HA-3 but is the best headphone they've heard on a Bakoon AMP-13.

After 4 months the Susvara stands out for separation and soundstage on a Bifrost 2 and Pietus Maximus.

Compared their Susvara with the Meze Elite over several days and found the HE1000se too bright beside it.

Found the Susvara boring on a Ferrum OOR but the opposite of boring on a Feliks Envy with WE300B tubes.

Listens to their Susvara on a Qudelix T71 and hears little difference from a Cayin 300B tube amp.

Finds the Susvara sounds anemic on a weak amp; an RME is the bare minimum.

A Topping D70 Octo and A70 Pro drive their Susvara exceptionally well; the bass isn't thin at all.

Finally has the Susvara and is having a blast, though their ears touch the inside of the pads.

Has sold the Susvara 4 times: no wow factor and too flat in the bass without pads and a shelf.

After 2 weeks the Susvara never wows instantly but is smooth for long hours with the best detail and imaging they've heard.

Upgraded from the Edition XS to the Susvara and hears much clearer vocals and detail on a FiiO M17.

Bought the Susvara after the HE6se and finds it a heavily refined, polished endgame in the same direction.

Owns the Susvara; sine sweeps show nulls and peaks but music sounds fine with EQ.

Owns the Susvara and Utopia; the Susvara is better with a vast soundstage and accurate midrange.

Their Susvara arrived and really is as good as people claim, even on a modest SMSL stack.

Owned the Arya Stealth and Susvara for months and finds the Susvara only better in tuning and stage width.

Their Susvara doesn't creak at all and feels solid.

Uses ZMF sheepskin pads on their Susvara for comfort and prefers the tuning with them.

Uses ZMF pads on their Susvara because their ears touch the drivers.

Finds their Susvara technically superior but less engaging than the ZMF VO and may sell it.

Drives their Susvara well from a Topping A90D and RME without crazy equipment.

Their Susvara arrived with stripped screws and a broken screw head.

Finds the Susvara destroys every other headphone they've owned when powered properly, and bought two.

Loves their Susvara on a Cayin HA-300MK2 tube amp, the best they've heard.

After owning the Utopia and HE1000 Unveiled, the Susvara is next level; they sold the Utopias after one week with it.

After two weeks, the original Susvara has unmatched timbre and realism; not hugely more detailed than their HE1000se, but they couldn't stop listening.

Loves the HIFIMAN house sound of the Susvara they own.

The Susvara made them sell everything else and stop upgrading; it needs a lot of clean current from a strong amp.

Bought the Susvara and expected a small step up from their HE1000 Stealth, but found a different class: exceptional imaging and staging, more detail, dynamics and deep, fast bass, and even more comfortable; it needs a powerful amp.

“The Susvara is the first pair of headphones I've tried that has such impressive imaging and staging capabilities - the stage size isn't overly large, but everything occupies distinct and well defined spaces, in a very consistent manner.”

Runs the Susvara on a Black Ice Aries and finds it digs very deep into the sub-bass with a strong punch; a kick drum once nearly made them jump out of their chair.

Found an endgame in the Susvara on tubes: they can listen to almost anything without fatigue.
