I wonder if that means Susvara OG dropping to $3,000? ;-) That means used Susvara at $2,000? Hmmm..... :thinking:- Zachik

I personally use both open and closed headphones. Having said that, HiFiMAN's open backs are much better (to my taste and preferences) than their closed back... 🤷♂️- Zachik

On somewhat frequent sales, HiFiMAN discounts Susvara by as much as 25% for open box (with full warranty). So, you could already buy Susvara for $4,500... Maybe the introduction of a new flagship would permanently drop Susvara to $3-4k price? I am definitely NOT a Susvara expert by any means...- Zachik

As CanJam Shanghai is getting close (I wish I could attend... :tired_face:) I am starting to wonder what new headphones may get introduced / launched :thinking: Some rumors have been circulating about a successor to Susvara :scream: In the early days of Susvara, I could not understand the...- Zachik

I do not believe additional CanJam is in the cards, so you may be disappointed if you keep waiting for that to happen. However, plenty of local meetups all over... Just saying ;-)- Zachik

Dekoni have leather pads that would fit. Their stuff is top notch quality. How it would sound compared to stock pads? Remains to be seen... 🤷♂️- Zachik

Unveiled: Meet the HD 620S
we will have a homeless neighborhood for audiophiles who invested all their money in audio gear, and ended up on the streets (with TOTL sources, IEMs, headphones, etc.) :) Edit: we'll just call it a street meetup...- Zachik

Unveiled: Meet the HD 620S
In my previous job, I used also HD569, but I drove it from Monoprice DAC/Amp (I forget the model, but it was ~$100). Excellent low-cost good-sound setup! Actually, I still own my HD569... I wonder if it makes sense to keep it once I get my HD620S :thinking:- Zachik

Interesting.... :thinking: Checking their website and product page, I realized this thing has a fan! Does it ever make an audible noise? Do you turn it off or do you disconnect it from the wall? Just curious...- Zachik
