This is from memory since I no longer have the lcd-5 or susvara, but these have:
- much better bass quantity, impact, and tonality than either lcd-5 or susvara. maybe not quite as textured but still good, and the timbre of bass guitars is so much more lifelike
- better midrange texture than either of them
- better balanced upper mids than lcd-5 which is too shouty, and susvara which has a hole at 2k (nice for the spaciousness effect but negatively affects vocal timbre)
- better balanced upper treble than either (lcd-5 doesn’t have enough and susvara has too much, which gives it that airy quality but makes it too harsh with some tracks)
detail in the mids is on par with both if not better, bass is slightly worse (though much better tonally), and I’d say equally detailed in the treble. the fact that any of these things are true is incredible, let alone the fact that they did it at a fraction of the price with much better tuning and comfort (than lcd-5 at least)
