Hi, you mean moving the speakers out of the existing cups and placing them in the cups of another pair of headphones ? If so I think this is a bad idea. Cups have been designed by shure to deliver a proper sound, changing the shape and volume of it sounds very hazardeous. On top of that managing...

I suggest you spend a bit of time on this section of ASR, a lot of winners listed for very reasonnable price: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?forums/combination-audio-dac-and-headphone-amplifiers.53/

Not knowing your dongle, I can't comment on its adequation with a pair of Sundaras. Try to find out, for ex on this forum, how it is rated. Other recommended web sites / forum such as Audio Science Review (ASR) are very usefull for this kind of checks. I personnaly use O2 amp, it is an...

before moving to another pair of headphones, have you considered checking the amplification stage you are currently using ?

Sounds great ... ping me if you need any tips on the replacement ...

Amazon is still selling them, now for 24 euros. Maybe they can ship it over the Channel for a reasonnable price ...

Hi dracuella ... actually I do. And also the repair worked out very well, still in good shape 4 years later. Accessible over here, this is in french but the pictures are self explaining ... (the host does not allow direct link from other sites than the french forum, like Head-Fi)...

you can simply buy them on their shop. https://store.hifiman.com/index.php/sundara.html. They have a European wharehouse, so when you place your order make it clear you want a shipment from Europe only to avoid customs clearance fees. That worked for me. Some weeks ago the HIFIMAN29 code got me...

I did the same, and I'm also happy with this cable. Flexible, good build quality, longer, and the connectors at the bottom are substantially smaller than the stock cable, making it easier to store the headset on a stand without the cable at the bottom being stressed

I've done some more listening tests between HD650 and Sundara, running on O2+ODAC. Build quality is very good on the Sundara. Mostly a leather headband, and a metal frame. Screws on the side of the cup can a bit agressive/sharp, so take care when you store the headset on a potentially...

true, now that you mention it :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: They are actually angled, 1.5cm width of the pseudo leather pad part on the front, 2.6mm at the back.

Here's a picture of the pads of my Sundaras received last week from Hifiman shop

I simply drive my Sundara with O2+ODAC from JDSLabs. Works like a charm ! (needs a bit more amp than HD650) The stock cable is a paaaaain. Does anyone know where to find one at a reasonnable price ?

Thanks everybody for your feedback. I placed an order on their shop finally (thanks donkek :) ).
