    Fang said that it will retail for $299 USD. Very interesting design with that BT dongle such that one choose to go wireless or wired.

    Maybe they're going for the gaming crowd? This came to mind when I read the name.

    Given their fascination with Sanskrit words for naming headphone, I guess they meant
    " Heavenly" or "Divine".

    Sooo, has anyone heard these? I'm prioritizing convenience over a lot these days and if these work alright for calls I might be tempted.

    Just tried the wired version, in a quiet store. Played songs off Tidal, via Zen Dac, and even compared it to 400i (2020 version) and Sundara.

    Deva might be my favourite. Had decent staging and imagine, forgiving sound sig (treble was shelved compared to the other 2 headphones). Felt the lightest of the 3, too.

    Comparatively, the 400i was the most "crystalline" sounding of the 3, with the smallest stage and hardest L-R pan. The Sundara really wowed with imaging and staging, provided the tracks were recorded well. Dadi Freyr's acoustic version of "Think About Things" sounded like the guitar right at the start of the track was in front of me.

    Quick comment on the Zen Dac: it lacks power, even for me. I think I listen at moderate levels (e.g. my WF-1000XM3 is usually 70-80% for podcasts), so I was surprised to want more volume on the Deva and Sundara... sometimes.

    Picked up the new Deva Pro model with "Stealth Magnets" and their new "R2R" Bluemini BT module and my impressions are really positive so far. Mids seem to the star of the show here, detailed and clean sound overall

    Does the Bluetooth module have a mic? Curious.

    If it does, I might wait for a sale on Adorama in a year and cop.
