    I was thinking Abyss Diana originally, but I have loved the Susvara each time I have heard it. Shit!

    Was it Headphone Bar? You must shop there a lot, considering how often you get great deals :)

    Well, I don't want to say where the Susvara deal is coming from. Mostly I just try to be patient and wait for good used deals to pop up, thats how I get most of my gear. I do try to support the Headphone Bar when I can though, its my favourite shop! :)

    I heard Diana, I would not bother with it personally.

    I'd still really like to hear the Diana. I'm having a tough time getting a read on it from the few impressions available. They seem mostly positive, but I think I'd miss the ultimate experience of the Phi. I dunno.

    Anyhow, I ordered the Susvara this morning so I suppose the point is moot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Yeh the phi is much better. Here are my raw notes on Diana: Presentation is forward

    Bass extension is a bit shy doesn't slam. Bass quality is good just not ridiculously good like the og abyss and phi

    Macro detail good. Not super resolving. Similar level to og abyss

    Staging is good, lacks depth

    Imaging is good

    Lower mid sucked out. Worse than og abyss almost nothing happening here

    Upper mids are normal just slightly forward

    It is a capable transducer otherwise
    Lower mid issue is a deal breaker for me
    Build quality is excellent. Pads do seem to get knocked off easily though.

    These are definitely on par with LCD 3 level headphones as they are fairly solid otherwise and very easy to drive.
    They do not isolate well and leak sound so not great for daily portable use.
    Good transients and handles complex music well. Very good with solo classical music. Not great with heavy rock or metal.

    Very light. Pads tend to hug ears and sit on ears. Would be difficult if you had large ears or flared ears.

    RIP your profile.
    Grats on Susvara!!
