Hifiman Sundara full size, open back planar magnetic headphone. An upgrade from the HE400-series models, the driver is 80% lighter weight and it really shows in the sound - Sundara has excellent detail and clarity. Separation of sounds is well handled, midrange is very clean and treble extension is very impressive and class leading at this price range.

Comfort has improved as well, Sundara is now one of the more comfortable planar headphones with its suspended headband.
Sundara shows improved build quality, with metal arms and headband, improved ear pad quality and sleek metal ear cups. Sundara has a clearly tight build quality and more mature, richer looking design.
94dB sensitivity means Sundara require more than a phone or computer to sound their best. Match Sundara with a dac or headphone amp for Sundara to perform to their capabilities.
If you require a balanced cable for your amp, see the Meze cables in our accessories section, $79 for a good quality 4.4mm plug cable or the Periapt XLR cable.
I have been using these almost everyday since I bought them. I work from home and basically have them on the whole day. No fatigue or discomfort. Really enjoying listening to metal with these. Note that the cable is quite short (1.5m or so). It works perfectly for my use case; sitting in front of my computer with the DAC/AMP in front of me.
So far I have been pleased with sound quality. Shipping from headphonebar was very fast.
The sundaras live up to their reputation
Yes you can believe the hype. They are that good, at least to my ears. I would describe the sound as rich but detailed. Surprisingly they even fit my very large head. Headphone Bar were also excellent as usual.
Excellent. Other reviews of these headphones are accurate. Best for the money.
