Wait you have an Isvarna!!!??? are they up for purhase now?
Not bad! Very deep bass, perhaps the mid-bass is a little bit ahead. Very good mids and high frequencies. IMHO needs of a cable that can help to open mids and highs in comparison with the mid-bass.any impressions so far?
Hifiman said they are "Semi" closed, which means they have no isolation, similar to the Audivina, R10/9, or r7dx.How is the isolation? Hifiman closed-backs aren't known for that.
R10P has much better isolation compared to Audivina which has no isolation at all. I have both.Hifiman said they are "Semi" closed, which means they have no isolation, similar to the Audivina, R10/9, or r7dx.
Its crazy there are STILL no reviews on it it seems they are not marketing there new headphone very wellR10P has much better isolation compared to Audivina which has no isolation at all. I have both.
I’m guessing Isvarna has either the same or better than R10P.
R10P lets some noise in, but zero noise out. Honestly I like it this way, it’s much more comfortable and does not create pressure in the ears like tight closed back ANC headphones do.
Its still quite new and given Hifiman's practice of initially pricing everything double or more and then reducing the price drastically after a year means a lot of people also wait a year or more to buy them. Only very few early adopters will buy a Hifiman product on release and not all of them Head-fiers even.Its crazy there are STILL no reviews on it it seems they are not marketing there new headphone very well![]()

I myself will wait until the Isvarna goes below half the price, might be a year or two.
Also Hifiman is not known to make good closed backs. Their strength lies in open back planars.
Perhaps you haven’t been reading all my replies. I said above that I already have the HE-R10P and Audivina, bought both during the saleAgreed, but with the deal for open box right now of the HE-R10P Stealths. I would jump on those instead if you need a close back. They are an amazing closed back. I don’t see this new headphone beating the HE-R10P Stealths out.
What source did you use to get this impression ?I have them. Am not keeping them. Bass is too much. You get bass dynamics which is cool, but too much. You also get nice vocals and highs, and despite the bass pretty good detail, but the bottom end overpowers everytHing. They have ports at 5 o’clock (around the lower rear earlobe) on the housings to let out some low end, but not nearly enouGh. Those ports of course lemot sound and make the phones unusable when other people are around. That said, the phones do keep sound OUT pretty well. This won’t help you on a plane or subway, but good for ambient noise at home.
