HiFiman seems to only put premium quality into their 4-figure headphones. Even then, the effort is hit and miss depending on the topic. The packaging for my 400$ Oculus Rift was far more premium than for my 6000$ Susvara. As referenced by the meme, the cables are still horrendous. The rotation of the Susvara cups are facilitated by little nylon washers seemingly taped to the joint and this weak adhesive just dissolves over time leading to jamming of the rotation and bits of oozing adhesive. The crappy foam job in all their packaging up the line to Susvara is hidden by the satin which isn’t secured into the box at all like a liner but rather just stuffed in there and bunching up over time if you attempt to use the box for storage.

I can at least say the drivers, the pads, and the frame of the Susvara look sturdy. I guess those are really the things that matter shrug
