    I wonder if that means Susvara OG dropping to $3,000? ;-) That means used Susvara at $2,000? Hmmm..... :thinking:

    I personally use both open and closed headphones. Having said that, HiFiMAN's open backs are much better (to my taste and preferences) than their closed back... 🤷‍♂️

    On somewhat frequent sales, HiFiMAN discounts Susvara by as much as 25% for open box (with full warranty). So, you could already buy Susvara for $4,500... Maybe the introduction of a new flagship would permanently drop Susvara to $3-4k price? I am definitely NOT a Susvara expert by any means...

    As CanJam Shanghai is getting close (I wish I could attend... :tired_face:) I am starting to wonder what new headphones may get introduced / launched :thinking: Some rumors have been circulating about a successor to Susvara :scream: In the early days of Susvara, I could not understand the...

    Unveiled: Meet the HD 620S

    Unveiled: Meet the HD 620S

    In my previous job, I used also HD569, but I drove it from Monoprice DAC/Amp (I forget the model, but it was ~$100). Excellent low-cost good-sound setup! Actually, I still own my HD569... I wonder if it makes sense to keep it once I get my HD620S :thinking:

    Interesting.... :thinking: Checking their website and product page, I realized this thing has a fan! Does it ever make an audible noise? Do you turn it off or do you disconnect it from the wall? Just curious...

    Eric, the 600 series pads won't fit the new HD620S? Different mounting system?
