The Greatest Headphones Yet? Or not quite? The HiFiMan Susvara Unveiled

HiFiMan's Susvara surprised the head-fi community at $6000 when it came out. Now, the more versatile $8000 Susvara Unveiled has been, well, unveiled, and it's a significant upgrade. These may well be one of the best high-end hi-fi headphones of 2024.

Thank you to HiFiMan for sponsoring my channel. However, anything a manufacturer does for me, from sending me products to sponsorship doesn't restrict me in any way from making reasonable criticisms of their products. Likewise, I always invite people to post their own experiences with products I review in the comments.

Thanks to vsg for the measurements: https://vsg.squig.link/headphones/?sh...
