HiFiMan Susvara Headphone Review

Susvara with metal housing, headband, special magnet design

So, do you want a HiFiMan Susvara ($6,000.00 USD / $8,000.00 CDN) or a Final Audio Sonorus X ($4,999.00 USD) for you?

We haven't heard the Sonorus X Headphone ($4,999.00 USD), so we can not make that decision for you.

Neither is what you can call a - work - headphone.

If you wear a $8,000.00 dollar suit, and say a $1,000,000.00 USD USD watch, and can sit at your desk in a nice room, facing others, we can say that you can have either, or both, and others can look at you.

Still, though, you may prefer a HiFiMan Shangrila ($50,000.00 USD - we will buy it, ourselves...), which has a cute device, which looks like an Espresso machine, which can sit on your desk, and be a conversation piece, for others, when they see you.

You may prefer a clean desk, though, and just prefer a single, solitary, laptop.

We do not like the Focal Utopia Headphone ($5,000.00 USD). It is a good headphone, and others like it, but it is worse than our Stax. And that is only a Stax 007 Omega II.

The HiFiMan Susvara ($6,000.00 USD) is an incredible headphone. It has a fantastic headphone cable. Why would you want to replace it? You may partner it with the iFi Pro iCan Headphone Amplifier ($1,699.00 USD, $2,199.00 CDN) which actually makes it work, and if by comparison to others headphone amplifiers of its genre, cheap! You may conlcude your system with a NAIM DAC V1 ($2,199.00 CDN), which is a great DAC, but why would you want to spend that much on a DAC when it is already, on release, obsolete? And DACs are improving so frequently. Try a iFi Micro iDSD ($499.00 USD) which does DSD 8x.
