LCD5 will be 1kg and come with a bodybuilding head chain and a 20kg weight to build up your neck strength so you can listen to the LCD-5 for more than 10mins lol

Susvara will come to me again today, i'm really curious how Dekoni pads will be doing.

Need them neck gainz!

Sure LCDs are heavier than most headphones (still fine for me) but the weight Is well distributed and the earpads are comfy.

About time!
What do you use to power them?

Can you comfortably use thr Pass combo, or does that have some noise on the R10P?

Running it off the Accuphase for now, using the single ended cable.

There is no better headphone out there Susvara is KING! Utopia to narrow metallic. Abyss TC recessed mids. LCD-4 no highs.
This is the only TOTL headphones without flaws! Beats even my reference for years the SR007 MK2 bass port mod + KGSSHv Carbon.
Great with V281 and even with my Shanling M8 amazing!

I have been curious about the Shanling M8, on a different note...

Bye Bye 1266 TC! The mids meh...

I hope it is not going to be the next "heavy weight champion" of HPs. The weight of LCD-4 is just absurd.

Hey! My 4s are sonically light, and they make me feel even lighter whenever I have them on

It all depends on what's playing or streaming at the source... Susvaras are the same, but the 4s can even sound lighter on occasion

Ergo: The magic of music can trump gravity

YMMV, of course, but always enjoy the music .

This is the Silver Awg20 Grand Line cable by Lavricables. They have kindly sent it in for a review.

Is anyone able to confirm that the Hugo 2 TT is powerful enough for the Susvaras, and the 4pin XLR pictured here will work with it? To me it looks like it would need an adaptor?

Niimbus US4 incoming.... Let the fight V281 vs. US4 begin

If you mean to connect it to the XLR out in the back, yes, you need an adapter. Plenty of folks here who can provide the info. I owned a TT2 briefly but did not have the Susavara at the time. You will likely hear people saying you need a more powerful amplifier. Ask in the TT2 thread and you will hear the opposite...

Those wings you got there...are those part of the LCD-4 delivery or did you have to buy them extra? I guess I would rather have the smaller sized one for each side of my head...but that would make a lot of flapping noise and these are open HPs, and so...it will not work. OK, at least I tried!

For me anything above 500g too much. Solitaire P is 520g and it is just at the border - even that is sometimes too much. I really don't get the "built like a tank" HPs, as I don't kick or punch HPs. People complain about the HifiMan build quality but for me they have the best balance of build and comfort. If HFM one day brings out a Susvara with better efficiency, I will go for it immediately. Until that day, my neck will need to approve what my ears tell me.

Easily a first round knock out

will not take long imho

I find that a pilot pad really helps in the comfort department though:

Thank you for the suggestion. It might just be my neck, but I take long listening sessions while working, interrupted by meetings or food. Such heavy headphones are not suitable for that.

I was actually considering the R10P but choosing a HFM over the others for me is mainly due to the construction. Otherwise I use EQ anyway and all those TOTL HPs are born geniuses and you need to "teach" them to be smart for a particular music and preference by using the EQ. I don't like the headband design of R10P, as it will most probably be uncomfortable for my head.

So now that my P-SE landed on my wife's desk, I might consider the HEKse to complement the Solitaire P. But I will probably first wait for an efficient Susvara for a while more.
