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

    Hi there Head-fi'ers, I just ordered the Hifiman Sundara closed back. I own the other two cans mentioned in the title. The offering price of 169 euro was too good to pass. I read that the Sundara's closed back have some wobbly midrange with some surpressed highs. I wonder how they will compare...

    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...

    I AutoEQ'd the Sundaras to sound like an IEM.

    I'm fresh to Head-Fi so here we go. I bought the Sundara kind of on a whim as it was the only headphone in the store that I tried that both a 3.5mm jack and a bass (compared to the other popular choices) under a budget. Nowadays I've been listening to IEMs like the (OG black filter) KZ PR2 and...

    Aeon Open X vs Sundara

    I have got the opportunity to buy the Aeon Open X's for a really good price, but I would have to sell my Sundara's. I have heard the Aeon's are darker, which is fine, but does the sound deliver? Would getting the Aeon Open X's be worth axing the Sundara's?

    AKG K702, HiFiMan HE400S (not se), HE400i (2016, not the new one) or raise money for Sundara? All EQd

    I'm looking for a COMFORT first, sound second upgrade from my Sennheiser Game One headphones. Their bass rolloff when EQd is alright but I find the clamp force to be too much (after using them for 6 years now) so I suppose 400S will also be good enough here. Thing is that I have to decide soon...

    Replacement Pad Suggestions for Hifiman Sundara?

    Looking for recommendations for something that won't change the sound signature much, but will provide more (physical) depth. I generally wouldn't have any issue with the stock pads except my right ear touches the driver and I find that annoying enough to look for something new. (There was...

    Will an Amp fix my concerns/Issues with my Hifiman Sundaras'?

    So i recently upgraded from a pair of Audio-Technica M50X's to a pair of Hifiman Sundaras however i feel like at best, they sound very much alike and at worst some details in some of the music i listen to are lost to the Sundaras. For example, on the m50x's i might hear a very subtle thing in...

    Audeze EL-8 (Open back) vs Hifiman Sundara

    Anyone here have experience with both that can chime in on how they compare? When I read the specs, both have quite low impedance, but at the same time are recommended to be used with an amp?
