I heard it called son of Susvara. but its 300$ lol. Susvara is 6000$ I find it hard to believe.
It sounds closer to the tier of a sundara than the susvara lol when I heard it, it is pretty decent for the price, the wireless module was flaky tbh. I would personally prefer the sundara but the deva is a good alternative if you need something wireless
Have you heard a lot of wireless headphones Mon? how does it compare to others?
Not a ton, not super interested in wireless headphones. SQ wise it is pretty great compared to other wireless offerings I have heard, but itās nowhere as near as seamless as other competing solutions from like more mainstream brands
I impulse bought them a couple of nights ago and theyāve already shipped with tracking from UPS telling me to expect delivery on Tuesday. Theyāre funky looking in a way I appreciate although I hate that made the BT module black rather than match it to the color of the cups better.

Curious to see what you think about it 
I wonder if theyāll make them available for a lower price without the bluetooth amp later on since it is a completely separate piece.
I hope they make something better with the same sytling cause that is an awesome lookiing headphone!
Well, Iāve owned it since Saturdayā¦ but havenāt had it in my hands or on my ears unfortunately since I had to embark an unplanned, emergency trip out of state on Friday afternoon, so all I have for now is my UPS Store notification that itās waiting for me when I get back.

He doesnt sound too impressed with it. Thinks he Sundara is better it seems. But he hasnt listen to it on a wired amp so wait and see.
I would tend to agree with my shot experiences with the deva as well

I like how these look, but I think Iām going to stick to the Sundara for my future HIFIMAN purchase it seems from what people are saying. I heard the Sundaras just had a silent revision off of the Headphone Show (though nothing major).
Yes mainly a pad change, a slight bump in the bass performance with more extension and a bit more impact, also more comfortable as well imo, imaging slightly improved

I was set on buying a Sundara and a Bluetooth dac/amp (UP4, BTR5 or the ES100 MKII) on the second half of the year, but now Iām not sure. I want more comparisons between the Deva and the Sundara, and Iām seriously in doubt now.
Can you elaborate more on the wireless connection issue(s)? Iām very curious about this. Thanks!
So the Bluetooth wasnāt the most intuitive thing in the world but once I looked at how to do it I had no issues. Range was also not an issue, pretty decent range, although I did have some times where it just randomly dropped out but it could be because of the show. Sound was pretty good wireless but I did prefer wired. I do think that it was solid and my gripes were minimal for the Bluetooth usability wise, but I think the amp inside the Bluetooth module was a bit lackluster, I think if they implemented something a bit higher quality with more power it could be really nice. Sonically I preferred the sundara (from very short listening, again I didnāt get much time with the deva), as imo itās a more refined and technically capable headphone, but that being said if you are in the market for something wireless I would consider the Deva, but for me to actually give a statement of if I would rec it or not I would want more time with it of course

Thanks @M0N! Intuitiveness seems like a common issue with Bluetooth pairing process specially for company that just started meddling with it. Iām not in the market for wireless cans personally but rather curious about the separate BT piece. That thing is 4x more expensive than the standard built-in module (inquired from multiple suppliers in China). As for the power and battery life, it is more powerful than built-in type but they canāt do much on the battery life part because of the shape of the module unless weāre going to put a custom battery design/shape. Then again, if we do that then weight is going to be the issue. Most wireless unit have the built in battery on 1 side then the dac/amp combo on the other side thus itās fairly balanced but itās a lot more difficult to implement with separate module design. I canāt imagine wearing a headphone with one side much heavier than the other

Thanks @M0N for the opinion, itās a nice way to have a general idea.
@Audio_Prom One way I could see to improve either power or battery life (maybe both) is using two modules, with a 2x 3.5mm like the Sundara. Now I know this is easier said than done, but given all the TWS are currently working in this ways, there are quite a number of solutions on the market for this. The point is how much you save having 1 tuner per battery, and how effectively this help with the amplifier. There is also the point if having to plug 2 modules getās in the way of usability.
Still, even if I end up not buying the Deva, I think Hifimanās idea is pretty neat. I really look forward to see what they bring up in future headphones.
