Would you be able to give a direct comparison between Shangri-La and HE1? The way you put it in your comment makes it seem like Shangri-La was underwhelming, is that the case?

In the expo HE-1 had its own listening booth. Shangri La was kept like a normal headphone among Susvara, He1000se, Sundara etc. If I hadn't known of the model before, I would have thought of it as a normal hifi pair.

So presentation might have played its part. Also the expo is noisy, and its hard to compare properly there for open backs. You crank the volume and stress your ears. I didn't have a fair base to compare them both to be honest. Its a wonderful headphone but I found Susvara equally wonderful.
