    Comparing Hifiman Sundara to Hifiman Sundara closed back to EMU-Teak

    I don't like Sundara closed back: is it worth to try Sundara open back? And... what alternatives?

    The title says almost all: I bought closed back Sundara but I don't like them. I REALLY like their pumping and very controlled bass, but they always lack some sparkle in the mid/upper mid range and to me voices and guitars and similar instruments always sound a bit dull and sometimes too...

    Obtainable (in-production) endgame closed back?

    Hello, I missed the NYC23 Canjam and the opportunities to audition the top contenders, so I am now running in circles around DCA Stealth, not quite ready to make up my mind. I am looking to buy second-hand so listening / sending back isn't really an option. I am ok with $2500 or so pricetag, if...

    Attention All Drummers ...

    I'd like to get an idea from the collective how one would play an acoustic drum set at full volume while listening to music without damaging their hearing. Do you guys use an IEM, open back, closed backs? Thanks.

    I am looking for a closed back headphone to go with my HD800s which I love, but can't use sometimes when it's too loud in the office. I have Z7M2 and while they are very comfortable and alright-sounding, I need more soundstage. Also Z7M2 suffer from a weird bug - they hiss (I am using Topping...

    Most comfortable closed-back headphones under $1000?

    I've got some somewhat unusual requirements and I'm hoping folks can point me in the right direction. For like... a decade or so now, I've used my DT-770s as my primary work headphones. And while they are supremely comfortable, they sound only... fine, and the absurdly long cable is a huge PITA...
