I dunno, the headband is the biggest turnoff of the He-R10p.
It just doesn't look like it belongs to a flagship, so I sure hope that it will prove me wrong.

I'm interested in hearing opinions on the R10 dynamic. The planar's price (for me) is too ridiculous to even consider. The dynamic is what the original R10 was anyway.

Just to clarify on something, CIBER is not anyone from HIFIMAN, whatever he posts hasn't any connection with us.

Can you tell me which cable you chose?
Good to know that Trevor can also make cables for this headphone.
If you don't want to derail this thread with cable talk, I'd appreciate a pm
what's wrong with the stock cable which would make a person order a >800$ headphone cable?, for better aesthetics?, but for a headphone which people agree doesn't even look its price, what's the use?. and is it possible for such a person to have a sound judgement in reviewing headphones?

Out of curiosity, if Ciber is not affiliated with Hifiman, how would he know that the headband was 100% leather?
These haven’t been released yet and I can’t find anywhere where this is information is listed
They're released, in-stock and available for purchase: https://store.hifiman.com/index.php/he-r10-planar.html

This earlier post says these are actually not leather
Am now listening to the R10 D. All queries are welcome,as long as they're respectful.
Is there any headphone that's in the same 'tier' the R10 Dynamic can compare to? Is it comparable to an Elegia?
Cheers.
Edit: Any genre strengths for the dynamic?
Hiya, am a fan of the ATH W1000Z. I spent a day listening to products at hi-fi lounge. If you ever get to the UK, please pay Wendy and Paul a visit. I have a review of that visit on my profile page. I listened to every premium headphone they had and was there all day. It was an unforgettable experience. It the W1000Z as a result of that day. I listened to the Focal Elegia at Ascot. I didn't have my Z with me, but they weren't to my liking. I will get my brain unadjusted to the P and adjusted to the D and then compare the 2. The W1000Z we're £1000 RRP at the time, and, until now,were my favourite closed headphones

Do you have experience with the Sony Z1R, if so a direct comparison in classic Disciplines like bass, mids, treble, soundstage would be great
Standby,am about to change from the D to my W1000Z. You don't get much better updates than this! I hope you're appreciative of this sort of service!
Liked the Z1R, don't have it. I liked the punch of it in the bass. It's a great headphone. I have listened to Handel's Arrival of the Queen of Sheba and Richard Marx's Right Here Waiting. The immediate impression I got on switching between the W1000Z and the D; the mix is closer to the ears on the D and further away on the Z. The bass presence is fuller on the D. The level of detail is higher on the D. The dynamics on the D are better.
Are there music genres or songs that you prefer on the R10P vs the Susvara? You mentioned you preferred the bass of the R10P over the Susvara but what about mids and treble? Does the Susvara have any advantage at those frequencies?
