Agree, it comes really close to Susvara for a tiny fraction of the price and minimal amp requirements. It is quite amazing what Sennheiser has achieved.In my point of view, Sennheiser HD 800 S is the best buy in all of hi-fi and head-fi. An amazing product with outstanding value for money.
For another perspective, I'd be inclined to say the Susvara is competitive in some respects only for a huge price and debilitating amp requirements ...Agree, it comes really close to Susvara for a tiny fraction of the price and minimal amp requirements.

Nice !For me I love Wells Audio V8 and HD800s.
I’m a bass head but this combo works great for me. The Dragon no as low end fades and it’s to neutral. No sibilant sounds but could use a bit of bass boost with my Dragon lvl3. Next to the V8 on the right is Wells Audio current entry level dac Gruve lvl 2(turned sideways). I’m curious the JAR v3 would be on this gear if it already is awesome in stock form?

Exactly. All planars and estat have some timbre issues in the mid/upper mid that can’t be EQed away. I suppose if you are willing to spend $30k+ you can get Aperio which sounds correct based on my limited experience. Even HE1 is not quite right with the sound weight and density. After going around and around, dynamics is still the best tech for natural reproduction of almost all instruments and human voice. Planar is good for EDM, ribbon and estat (other than Aperio) are situational and music dependent.Yep the hd800s is still an excellent headphone. It is up there with the susvara imo regarding sounding real and organic.
Instruments and timbre sound correct, even though it has its hd800s flavor and not quite perfect frequency although it’s close
I’ve always held hifiman in the best all rounder tuning, but they all sound a little digital and synthetic if that makes sense.
Technicalities, speed, air, and transparency, and frequency response are advantages of the hifiman he1k headphones, but they never sound quite as organic and real in terms of timbre
I think it’s partly due to the hifiman brightness and soo much air, there’s not quite enough density and heft, and they just have a bit of a digital aspect to their sound
Audeze lcd 2/3 and Senn hd800 don’t have the advantages in technicalities, resolution and speed compared to the hifiman he1k, but have a more papery organic tone that I really appreciate
I've read Composer review from Headfonia and they compared Composer with HD800S and HEK SE. They said HD800S is faster sounding than Composer and HEK SE.Yep the hd800s is still an excellent headphone. It is up there with the susvara imo regarding sounding real and organic.
