I try it on canjam london. They are nice. Really good! I like it. Well done astell + empire

Loving your review and wondered if you could give some advice. I have the Max and Focal Utopia 3.5SE would i benefit from a 4.4mm balanced to boost the gain to lower the listening volume. Sorry I’m quite new to this

one part confuses me: if you are streaming spotify from your phone, laptop, or smart tv - the outputs that we would provide audio already have been converted to analog. Which output would you send to a DAC so the spotify signal is digital until it hits the external DAC box? Thanks

I just worry about having nothing over those planar drivers. How many driver failures will a normal user have ? Probably none but it just bothers me a little bit. The pricing seems odd as well are they really worth 2K more than already 6K Susvara. I would love to hear them at my next Can Jam though.

I have an A&K SR35 and just "upgraded" from my Westone Mach 60's to the Campfire Supermoons. So I think I'm good for now. Wouldn't mind auditioning these though.

Great video Steve! Thanks.

Compared to u18s

Wanting to hear more confirmations like this. I bought Susvara OG purely on reviews/reputation. It's truly been the sound upgrade I was hoping for after HE1000SE (although there's an element I miss). Not able to pay full retail for Unveiled. HiFiman is the only headphone company that I know that rewards it's loyal customers with an upgrade path (like Samsung). I love OG Susvara but that rabbit hole is calling with the an even better sounding Susvara.

I bought Susvara unvield. And I also have Susvara og. Sound is very different and I need both headphones. OG is like to be in 10th raw in philarmony. But Unvield is like to be on conductor place. There is a distance in sound between you and stage with OG and absolute transparency and expanded soundstage with Unvield.

This is truly a one of a kind outstanding "Entire Headphone System" so yes like many high end components it's at the very Apex of the high end and is expensive . So that as a starting point it is a complete including all their own custom cables. My only quest relates to your comments on the Bass performance. Can you elaborate a bit more as several other reviews conflict with that assessment a bit mentioning the Bass to be the one area it may be a bit light? You indicate in addition to the quality of the bass it can actually "rumble" in its presentation with power? There is no question on everything else it does, some rate it as even better overall than the SENN $ 70k showpiece system HE-1?

Shangri-la mini, review is coming ?

So the OG Susvara will be 3000$ or less soon.

I would like listening sound test demos

So sorry ugly . . .it is

You are so awesome in your reviews. It is ALWAYS a pleasure working with you. You all are the gold standard

Is this available to trial at the NJ store?

Stephen, thank you for another wonderful headphone review! 👌 SHABBAT SHALOM! 🕎 HAPPY SABBATH! ✡️

Stevara 🎶

Geo Tracker puts out more bass... especially when that engine goes pop and grenades itself!

I wonder how this compares to the APX SE iem.

Comparing to RN6?

I'm sure there is reason you guys don't carry Shanling DAPS but I sure wish you did.

I was looking for a very smooth IEM to buy for my collection. Luckily, you guys had some Supernovas in stock today. I just bought the Solid Green color a few hours ago & you guys shipped it out within an hour, which is insane. I really hope this IEM doesn't disappoint. Thanks!

My favourite colour! 💜

I have a pair on order but unfortunately I'm not able to test these out. I have a couple concerns. Steve, you mentioned something about crackling during break in? Im wondering what kind of amp were you using. I have the SP3000T. With the impedance closer to a dead short, is this going to be too much load on the amp and I for sure dont want to overload the DAP. Any thoughts?

What about wifi and bluetooth quality/connexion ? It s a big problem on my S25mkII.

The best? For you maybe.

Thanks

They are much worse then Aura, listened to them didn’t liked them at all..😢

I love the black faceplate over the gold one

Is ZE8000 better than Pixel Buds Pro?

Naa..a recond sportcar ya noobs..Peace!

Hi great informative video, I been thinking of getting these as I hd6xx with custom cans bass mod and replace the pads from 3/4” to 1.25” pads to see if that improveds the sound signature , just bought an open box one for £269 instead of £359 which is price , but sennheiser Uk is still selling them £499. Regards mark

I’m really considering these but wondering if it’s worth the jump as I’m currently using the AK Odyssey

Excellent review Steve! Was cool to try novus at can jam but Aura is still my favorite Astell n kern collab ! Also agree with your XE6 comparison, that thing is a monster 🔊🔥

nice review - comfort could be an issue for many as you mentioned

Stephen, thanks for the review of an INORDINATELY-EXPENSIVE pair of earphones! Methinks I'll be satisfied with my DITA Project M. ;)

Why use the expression, “What’s going on?” What’s the point?

The fuck so unnecessary lmao just get a an iPhone w/ sub $300 340w at 30 ohms dongle dac if you need power and it will kick this fricking bulky ass brick lmao

Aaron Rodgers? Is that you?

My biggest problem with getting these IEMs is not even money it's availability i have to travel to like Singapore or Japan to buy ones as here in Phlippines there's no retailer or if I buy online I'll wait several months for it to arrive sometimes it gets delayed and would take another 2 months

Did you change the impedence for the Estats? You Were probably running at 16ohm mode and it goes all the way to 96ohm mode.

I have made good experiences with Audio and Chinese products

Waiting for this review please! Thank you

My dad was the best DAC that ever existed. 3 times a year, when I got a report card at school, filled with 0's and 1's, my dad made the loudest and clearest sound I've ever heard.

The Hype 4 costs less and is as resolving if you compare the two side by side

Does this offer any remote control options?

Do they get dirty in white? I had white jbl headphones, and after a 1-2yrs they turned yellow.

And maybe they are perfect for people who have wireless iems, and want some wired iems to have in backup, when you want that analog sound and are tired of the cons of bluetooth.

It's a shame the cover does not turn it to close back headphone.😅Does the build look cheap or is it just me?
