The headphones can be set to different sized heads by a gliding mechanism, which keeps the cups steadily in place. The headband-design is rather normal sized, but there is no real weight-dispersion in place. And with the 490 grams weight, this becomes an issue. After roughly 20 minutes I can feel the pressure build up on my scalp to a point where I have to move the headphones around or take them off entirely in order to avoid discomfort.

The fullness of the bass is partially contributed by the pure copper stock cable. When swapping it out for other materials such as silver-plated copper, you can notice the bass being more tamed and a cleaner, faster response is observed.

Testing with R&B and pop, the HW600 exhibits well-layered bass with a notable punch, which sounds clean and quite expressive with fast guitar licks and fast drumming tracks.

The bass intensity isn’t very strong but is sufficient, and it sounds well textured. When paired with more powerful sources or amps, the treble becomes more aggressive and firmer, enhancing overall dynamics.

The HW600 gives a slightly warmish impression across the various gear setups tested and the design seems to dampen it to mimic the punchiness on dynamic drivers.

So yeah, the Susvara Unveiled can be driven by many amplifiers, but they will all make the Susvara U. sound differently. In that regards the Unveiled is a transparent headphone. It’s also clear that the better amps, or should I say technically stronger amps, really make the Unveiled shine. When using a lower resolution DAC or bad files, you will immediately hear that so make sure your full setup is up to the task.

Meze Audio is a master brand for designing and crafting beautiful headphones. But how about the sound performance of the 105 AER? The new 105 AER is aimed at the casual listener rather than all-in audiophiles who usually invest in equipment. So, the sound presentation is safe, without too much coloration or extension on the polar ends, and it is in an airy and spacious environment.

The cups are surprisingly nice too, the HW600 featuring intricate patterns carefully carved through CNC machining. The headband remains in stainless steel for better torsion resistance, but apart from that, all the other pieces seem to be made of the same aircraft-grade, anodized, aluminum. Pair that with ultra-thick earpads, made of breathable lamb-skin earpads, filled soft-foam padding, a sturdy braided cables with balanced termination, and you end up with one of the most satisfying experiences you could get from a $1000 headphone.
