I personally find that this style of headband does create a bit of a hotspot on the top of my head with extended use but for some reason, it doesn’t seem to be as uncomfortable (for me) over long periods as the Edition XS that I reviewed recently, possibly due to the cup shape and how the clamp to my face. Using the headband that Hifiman chooses on the majority of their new models, there is plenty of adjustment in the cups, which should result comfortable for most people. The build quality is much the same as any other Hifiman headphone of the same style. Personally I liked the original Deva aesthetics but I also have no issue with the new look. I know there were lots of people who weren’t overly fond of the original colour scheme so I think that the more classical black and silver look will please them.

The shape and style is still the same, however, the light brown tan leather pads and headband have been replaced with a more classical black look. The aesthetics of the Deva Pro have changed quite a bit in comparison to the original Deva.

The Deva Pro is a new release, or a fairly recent release at least, that addresses some of the complaints from the original Deva and solves some of the issues that were commonly mentioned with the Ananda BT, for a much lower price of around 300€, which is actually a very similar price to the original Deva BT 2 years ago.īeing a fan of Hifiman, I am always interested in trying out their stuff and while I am not a huge BT headphone fan (although my use of BT has increased quite a bit since having the Go Blu), these headphones are not the typical BT headphones, but I’ll get to that.
#TESSITURA PRO REVIEW BLUETOOTH#
They were priced at over 1000€ at the time and, although the price has dropped since then, they still remain a quite an expensive set of Bluetooth headphones with a few quirks that didn’t convince everyone. The Ananda BT were far from perfect but they still remain the best sounding set of Bluetooth headphones I have heard to date. I found them to be a decent set of headphones for their price at the time and although they are not my favourite Hifiman headphones, I thought they would be a good option at a reasonable price, especially for those who liked the aesthetics (check out the original Deva review here to see more).Īt the beginning of 2021, I had the chance to review the Ananda Bluetooth, a more expensive set of Bluetooth headphones from the brand. In my case, I reviewed them without the module and did not get to try them via Bluetooth. I’ll get into details about that as we move along, but first a little background.īack in 2020 I reviewed the original Hifiman Deva, a set of headphones that was available with or without the Bluetooth module. I have a matched pair of CM4's I could do this with.Now just need to find the time/venue.The Deva Pro are the latest Bluetooth headphones from Hifiman, although, as with the original Deva, these can also be used via cable. Your posts have made me want to A/B the M4/Mixpre, though. I have some ribbons coming that I'll be trying without a cloudlifter next. This would nearly max out an M4 or almost anything else except the Mixpre, with it's 76db. I'm currently using it as an interface with a line audio CM4 for daily Zoom meetings - the CM4 is 'low output', which means I need about 56db of gain. I will say that I really love the mixpre pre's. Ive heard samples here where the mixpre absolutely cannot be distinguished from the more venerable SD 788, but I also heard some samples of a tenor where the ADC on the Mixpre was blamed for the worse (though still good) sample compared to someone's separate pre/ADC/recorder stack. I've wondered about the mixpre converters, too. I wouldn't hesitate to carry it around in a bag/backpack. I would like to compare them though, see how the DAC sounds on the M4, since I like ESS "in general." And knowing the MixPre DAC is acceptable but not top shelf.^^ This surprises me - the M4 seems actually as/more robust to me - it's heavy and everything that can be metal is metal.

When I had an M4 briefly the build quality didn't inspire me as much as the MixPre, so that's a thing.
