I considered the HE-R10P for a short while, but the lack of consistently favorable reviews, in combination with the price point, have pretty much ruled it out for me.
As to the Stealth, from the FR it looks quite forward around 3k, and I am sensitive to that area.. But I look forward to reviews and hearing it myself at some point.
Agreed. The R10 reviews are good, but not great, and everyone who has compared to the Susvara says the R10 lags behind it.
I need Susvara and TC level performance, or I'm not in. I am not willing to compromise a for closed back design. If I can get closed and equal performance, then I'm in...

Is this headphone really on Susvara level?
I'm waiting for Andrew Park from the Headphone show. His favorite headphone is by a wide margin the Susvara.
Detail - good but not like… Abyss or Susvara level. That said, exceptional structural definition for images and image separation (better than what I was expecting).
Microdynamics - no issues of bluntedness whatsoever. Excellent, ‘resolving’ trailing ends of tones, but once again not quite as clear as the other top tier flagships.
Soundstage - shockingly open sounding for a closed-back. Not the widest but like… damn good again for a closed-back. I was initially quite surprised by this quality.
Macrodynamics - None unfortunately. Same as Noire and other DCAs typically.
Timbre - waddayawant it’s a planar.

I guess I have my first answer. Awaiting more.....
"I think in certain positions it can be just a hair forward in the upper mids, but it’s all well balanced."
Andrew said something similar about the Empire Ears Odin, which for me is much too forward in the upper mids. But I think I am more sensitive to that than the average listener.
Hm.... looks not great. 4k is too much I think. It must bei absolute top in every category for this price.
Meh and I was hoping for a Susvara killer lol.
