You guys with both 1266 TC & Susvaras which brand does well recorded vocals best ? meaning most human sounding,…I haven’t listened to either however next month I will be checking the both brands out , until that day comes time is moving slooow,.
It's a surprisingly difficult comparison, one that I think comes down to what you listen to most regularly.
My 1266 is still only a couple of weeks old, but it's an initially very impressive headphone, it took me this long to miss the Susvara (I listen to all my new gear pretty much exclusively for a week or two, then swap back).
Short version to me at least is Bass, Macrodynamics and with a slight caveat staging, go to the 1266,
with the right amp Naturalness of presentation, timbre and micro dynamics go to the Susvara.
I consider detail to be a tie on my amps, I initially felt the 1266 had more, but having now gone back, I think it's just presented differently, and in some ways I'd argue for the Susvara on that point.
Both are comfortable headphones once you get past messing with the pads on the 1266.
The Susvara is more amp picky, I'll keep both, my D8000pro might be out of a job, but I still prefer the bass presentation on that headphone to even the 1266, it doesn't have the extension or slam of the 1266 but it's still the only headphone that can provide the level of articulation of bass effectively.
The 1266 doesn't murder average to bad recordings quite as much either.
I could see some people taking stances of definitively preferring one or the other, so if you can you should try and hear them, but the 1266 is the most immediately impressive of the two. The Susvara needs more listening time to really appeciate.
