General Headphone Help/Discussion Thread

So I asked one guy who makes adapters and cables and this was his response maybe you can make something out of it:

Hi! The Susvara uses a TRS plug, but it is wired on the T and S only.
When building a cable for Susvara, I recommend using a TS plug or wiring a TRS plug. T positive, R and S shorted to negative.

So i guess no issues and can use both.

Tried Susvara Unveilerd and its a machine, way different than Sus OG. Aggressive without being harsh, more treble energy, mid present in a good way. Every note is punchier than og and utopia, speed is crazy.

Subbass is more impactful. Stage size is about the same but maybe the OG is a hair wider but height and depth is better on Unv. More dynamic. Didn’t lose richness or density. Its not the same HP when people are saying no need to upgrade, its different and its an upgrade in all departments to my ears.

If you liked sus but wished for more energy and fun, this is it. I want to say it was slamming harder or close to 1266tc from memory, not 100% sure its been a while. But got fatigued from the slam and punch.

I liked unveiled with Chimera, but OG and Utopia with Nirvana. All 3 were on speaker taps of Aic.

Preferences were 1- Unv 2- Utopia 3-nothing :stuck_out_tongue: so I guess I prefer energetic HPs.

Handling cups paranoia is exagerated. It was simple as long as you have a stand and no metal in your hands while handling.

These are the first impressions of Sus U I’ve heard. I’ve gotta say, I’m intrigued!

I was just going to recommend several

Im a bit curious which did you get? If you dont wanna say I can delete this post

I picked Aune sr7000 as temporary solution.
Pretty difficult to pick something higher end and maybe I keep Noir for home as this was cheap and solid reviews thus far

Many people didnt but I did really like the sr5000 in the sense of how easy they were to drive and how comfortable and ready to use they were out of the box, even with my VE abigail dongle that has only 35mw it sounded like it was driving them to like 85% of their maximum scalability, which was good, but also bad in a way that I have better headphones that scale more so I ended up selling the sr5000.

I was surprised that the sr7000 costed double the sr5000 when they came out, but I think they adressed all the “improvement points” I tought the sr5000 could improve by costing more.

I had 3 issues and I wanna ask you if the sr7000 fixed them all when they arrive.

  1. Are the 7000 fully or mostly metallic?
    If the plastic on the sr5000 was metallic instead it would have felt very very premium.

  2. The pads were ok but they had that cheap “jeerze” material like hifiman the he400se.

  3. The driver maxed out even with portables too easily, even if its a little harder to drive, if it can scale to the point that I could here improvements from say, an astell sp2000cu then Id be completely satisfied.

Based on Z reviews the build is the same so plastic. Pads should be different and so is the driver. 6moons review run it through some powerfull sources and they should scale to some extent so let’s see.

I have low expectations and I just need solid sound and comfort

Thats a shame, it would have looked and felt so much better and premium with some kind of metal at that price point, the sr5000 look great but feel so plasticky, and that design in particular I feel would really work with metal unlike sennheisers

But better pads and driver is all that it needed really, the price is a bit steep though, I would have medium expectations, definitely not low

Because the ar5000 would have been great with a better driver and pads
