I've been around high end audio for 25 years, and in my experience there are those rare pieces that get you 90-95% of the performance of mega-priced gear for only a fraction of the price. I would put the Devas in that class. Beyond their performance and price level, you'll find little quibbles. This headphone is slightly better here, or slightly better there... I'm still looking for those headphones that honestly justify being 10 times the cost. And that's coming from someone who owns a pair of Stax pro models. They were 10 times the relative cost, and I'm listening to the Devas right now by choice. Tell you anything? I have a number of really good headphones, but the Devas were also my 1st planets. Haven't been disappointed for a second. If I were you though, i would invest in the Bluetooth. The bluemini unit is also a decent quality DAC, and the sound ran through it in that configuration is a serious upgrade for the sound from your laptop or even phone. I've plugged them into my big rig, used with my Surface, listening bluetooth right now. They are enjoyable every way. As a bonus, most say they are much more comfortable than the Sundaras. That's my 2 cents... Happy shopping!
