There is no moving on beyond these headphones...they are at the pinnacle of personal audio IMO.
I said the same thing when I got the HEKse...and here I am...

What are some of the criticisms you or anyone else have on the Susvara?I'm curious if anyone moved on from the susvara and found something else they like...

I absolutely have no criticism of it, I do hear that the quality is bad though :/ its a shame for such a good headphone, but I would pay out of pocket to get it fix and keep it, it just that good. I think I listen to an electrostatic that a friend had when I was in Hawaii, but I thought these sound better, I never care for bass till I put these headphone on, it just so well tuned in the bass region.
Don't jinx yourself.. Lower model Hifiman QC ain't great but Susvara isn't nearly as bad I think..

Given the normally wild unpredictability of subjective preferences in this hobby, I really hope you're just kidding, and that this kidding is what the smiley is about.... Already, I often see the Susvara mentioned together, with the Abyss TC, as if they're the two candidates competing for this crown ("pinnacle of personal audio") for a lot of people. I am betting if one were to hold a shoot-out between just these two, not everyone present would choose the same pair as the winner,
I for one have still not heard either one, and, although I have been curious about both for a long time, I wouldn't know which one I would choose, were I to hear both in a shootout, or whether I would even reject both and settle for something else, or one which I already own as my personal "pinnacle". I am pretty sure there are more people in my situation in the hobby than there are people who have actually heard both cans.
As for the Susvara, since I have seen several of them on the pre-owned market in the past year alone, I am betting there are a few who have already moved on from it for diverse possible reasons (which might include the impatience and frustration involved in finding the right amp to drive it optimally, or simply, the preference for something else, for another flavor, pinnacle or not) although it remains to be seen whether someone who falls in that category would actually show up here to answer @Law87 's question... Yeah, it remains to be seen...
In the meantime, here is my own smiley, meant as a coda to this irreverent meditation
By the way, I am also a Susvara fan of sorts, although, as I have said before, I have never heard or even seen one in person... Or maybe, I should say I am a fan of too many rave reviews of the Susvara... Maybe... It is purely to those "rave reviews" that I owe my current bizarre status as a "Susvara Fan who has never heard or seen a Susvara"

Sorry man, I dont care how good that Abyss sound, it makes you look like a total doofus wearing that thing, I swear I laughed every time I watch a review. I am not sure if it match the comfort of these, these I can wear for hours.
You mean you don't think they're just the coolest ever?
That's my exact experience with these headphones. They sound out of this world but with a build like just alien.imagine spending 5 grand...just to convince your friends, you can hear jesus but look like a fool lol.
one could make a lateral move to the abyss TC but moving beyond would be quite a challengeThere is no moving on beyond these headphones...they are at the pinnacle of personal audio IMO.
