Hifiman Susvara Over-Ear Full-Size Planar Magnetic Headphone (Latest revision)

Beautiful sounding headphone.

State of the Sonic Art

It's difficult for headphone designers to balance all the things listeners want in a flagship headphone. But HiFiMan succeeds brilliantly with the Susvara. While best known for the intricate musical detail it delineates, the Susvara also manages to have state-of-the-art dynamics, deeply satisfying tonal color, and a cathedral-like soundstage. Yes, it's famously difficult to drive but I feel that's a bit exaggerated. However, the more quality power you give it the more magic it will give you back. Yes, magic. No other word captures what the Susvara can conjure.

Definitely the best headphone I’ve ever heard. I was surprised that it wasn’t actually that hard to drive. Certainly scales up though. Paired with the Bigger Ben is simply perfection.
