Shure SRH-940 Crack and their service!
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...- ManuLM

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...- ManuLM

Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)
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...- ManuLM

Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)
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- ManuLM

Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)
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...- ManuLM

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.- ManuLM

Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)
Hi There, I am considering buying a Sundara to extend the lower part of the spectrum from my HD650. The sundara sound like an appropriate candidate. I'm on the verge of buying one, but I am wondering if Hifiman still has quality issues on the recent production ? Reddit and many other places...- ManuLM
