All these headphone reviews never address distortion and loudness, I have some Sennheiser HD560S, they sound great except when I crank up the volume they distort way too easy, the same was true for a pair of Beyerdynamic headphone I tried. When you look at the specification of the drivers they might be sensitive but the max power is in the mW range. I have many expensive headphones but I always use my M50X's with non stock pads, they go loud, they don't distort, they have plenty of low end, they are the most fun and provide to most enjoyment for me. I wish I could find something with a similar characteristic to the M50X's with more refinement in the high frequencies, the closest is some Monolith M1060C headphones, the problem is they seem to give me sleep issues.

The Susvara Unveiled is an open-back, and it's ten times as much as both of these headphones combined (and knowing Hifiman, the build is probably worse).

@@Krankynator and ? did you stop reading my post after the first 10 words ? that was a joke that;s why the next word is "seriously" this is their first vidéo since the announcement of the Unveiled, and it should be about that, Hifiman screwed up their product launch

You don't send $200k worth of headphones to reviewers for marketing. Silly idea.

Sennys are ugly and no surprise bass is weak. Focal's design language is as old as the hills, but I actually like the looks, even in blue, much as I loved the fragile Elear many moons ago.
