1000+ Head-Fier
Hifiman cables are irritating. I’ve had my buddy knit together cables for every headphone of their’s that I’ve owned: HE400, HE500, HE6, HE400i, HE5XX, Ananda, Arya (very shortly), HE1000, HE5 as well as the Sundara.
For once, these headphones need a bit of colour..and it’s always nice to have a cable attached to one’s headphone that doesn’t feel like a latex glove..though tbh the new ones are ever so slightly better than the old garden hose variant with the infuriating screw-on connectors.
I do not buy additional cables in order to gain better sound quality though. That is fool’s gold imho.
I still feel the Sundara and the HE500 are the best cans Hifiman has made. The latter however is not anywhere near comfortable whereas I often forget that I’m wearing the Sundara.
Top tip: if anyone in here listens to Ozric Tentacles, be sure to plunk on some Erpland with this can. Swoop
