I'm very interested in the hifiman susvara for home use and he1000se for semi-portable use. I have, however, heard that hifiman qc is not very good and there are anecdotes on driver failure and build issues from lurking around their corresponding threads.
For a little bit of context on why I need this information, I am deciding whether to get the weak 1-year warranty of my local distributor vs the 3-year warranty from China instead. It seems like a simple decision, but hifiman has clarified that I can only claim my warranty in the region of original purchase. I can definitely get the China one since I have relatives renting one of my properties in China whose names I can use for the warranty. The extra hoops are not appealing, and the added layer of correspondence + variability of schedules (relatives) make the China warranty less appealing though.
Could people with experience with these headphones or hifiman headphones, in general, chime in on how hit or miss the qc is so I can decide on which warranty I should take?
