Hifiman Susvara - Kopfhörer

Testberichte von Hifiman Susvara - Kopfhörer

In detail retrieval, the HIFIMAN Susvara is a solid step above most of other flagships such as the Focal Utopia and the Audeze LCD4. Particularly in midrange, the HIFIMAN Susvara reveals a level of detail that very few headphones can match. [...] With a Susvara, you get a good feel for the venue. You hear the reverberations and echoes between instrument lines. You get a sense of venue acoustics and can easily imagine what the venue may look like. [...]

To conclude, very few audiophiles will not like the Susvara. I am sure they exist, but they are few, especially if they have heard a Susvara on the right chain. They might prefer the TC to the Susvara for its slam and openness; or the SR1a’s huge soundstage and extreme detail; or the SR009S’s supple and delicate presentation of details. 

However, one has to at least admit that the Susvara is a unique all-rounder that does not do anything poorly. It does not have the world’s best bass or the world’s best soundstage or speed; but its wow factor is that it is the most natural sounding headphone out there.

Darin liegt die eigentliche und großartige Leistung von HIFIMAN. Dr. Fang Biang hat mit dem SUSVARA keineswegs einen Kopfhörer geschaffen, welcher durch eine besonders eindrucksvolle Basswiedergabe, eine spektakuläre Mitteltonpräsenz oder strahlende Höhen imponiert. Sondern einzig und allein durch seine traumhafte Musikalität überzeugt. Wunderbar. Ein Meisterwerk.

They're large and expensive but these beautifully engineered planar magnetics are a joy to handle. Those swivelling adjustable yokes ensure a comfortable fit around the ears and they don't get hot. The Susvaras offer a smooth, totally unfatiguing sound with superfine detail resolution that commands your listening attention – I shall certainly be loath to send them back to HiFiMan!

I am no avatar of conspicuous consumption. I prefer a faded '64 Chevy pickup to a glossy new Porsche. That's why I mostly review affordable gear.
Don't laugh. I think that expensive headphones—especially ones like the Abyss AB-1266 Phis and the HiFiMan Susvaras—are actually high-value high-fidelity products. They give me more of what I desire from recorded music. They unmask more of what's hidden on recordings than do loudspeakers costing five or even ten times as much.
To my knowledge and taste, HiFiMan's Susvara planar-magnetic headphones and companion EF1000 amplifier are at the leading edge of what is possible in two-channel audio.

The Susvaras gave me new, more intimate insights into my favorite recordings simply because they’re better. Not many of us can afford to spend $6000 on headphones, let alone thousands more on an amp to drive them -- but I think if you try the Susvaras at a hi-fi or headphone show, you’ll at least understand why some people would.

Past my experience with both HE-1000 V1 and Susvara, I’m keen to think that Dr Fang Bian already figured this out years back. It’s difficult to shake off the feeling that the former product wasn’t the pinnacle of his skill but a major stop on the road towards the latter, well-seasoned and certainly fully grown model. On these accounts it clearly sits above HE-1000. But it also takes one to places its more affordable brother simply isn’t capable of, is very easygoing, impressive as hell, highly addictive and something this scribe sincerely would like to own.

Beyond that, Susvara—as noisy cover quotes by book critics keep phrasing it—was quite unputdownable. I truly felt privileged for the opportunity to sample HifiMan's most current state of their art. It's bloody impressive. Brava! Of course my two colleagues already said exactly the same. For once, repetitiveness of opinion really does rule.
