HifiMan Sundara Headphones, Black, Medium, Wired

Die Kopfhörer sind das Einstiegsmodell in Planarmagnetische Treiber und haben sich wirklich als Referenzmodell der Einstiegsmodelle der 'audiophilen' Kopfhörer etabliert. Ich kann verstehen, warum. Mein Modell war gut verarbeitet und klang schon aus der Box gut. Für jemanden, der gerne basslastige Musik hört, sind offene Kopfhörer vielleicht etwas fragwürdig. Leider ist der Bass nicht ganz so voluminös und geht nicht so tief wie bei geschlossenen Kopfhörern, selbst im günstigeren Bereich. Mitten sind dafür toll, und Instrumente sehr schön separiert. Man entdeckt manche Lieder wirklich neu, wenn man sie davor nur mit 'consumer' Kopfhörern a la Bose / Sony gehört hat. Ich habe die Kopfhörer an einem Fiio K7 betrieben, für meinen Geschmack waren sie aber auch schon an einem normalen Endgerät (MacBook / normales PC Motherboard) laut genug. Und nicht viel schlechter, aber doch deutlich undynamischer. Für mich waren sie leider unterm Strich nicht 'punchy' genug, und auch nicht laut genug im Tiefbassbereich. Ich höre gerne elektronische Musik (z.B. Skee Mask) aber auch ab und zu Metal (Lorna Shore, FFAA...) und brauche dafür einfach die Power untenrum. Ich liebäugle nun mit den Hifiman HE6se, welche leider nochmal in einer anderen Preisliga sind. Aber die Suche nach den perfekten Kopfhörern endet wohl nie. Was ich gerne noch erwähnen würde, ist dass es sehr angenehm war, die Kopfhörer zum Spielen zu verwenden. Insbesondere in Calls (Voicechat) mit Freunden während des Spielens waren sie sehr angenehm in der Benutzung, weil man stets die eigene Stimme noch ein bisschen mitgehört hat. Für meine nächsten Desktop-use Kopfhörer kommen daher nur noch open-back Kopfhörer in Frage.

What can I say but WOW! These cans really are a huge improvement over standard headphones and their drivers. I am particularly impressed with the frequency response which I believe is better than the Sennheiser HD800s series. You will not be disappointed with the Sundara even as an Audiophile or an amateur starting their budding collection. 10/10!

Hello, A bit disappointing about my headphones. Sound quality is very interesting, very neutral bass to mid. a little coloration on the treble but no a lot. Very accurate, sound separation and sound stage is so wide . At this level on price it's very good ! But mine was arrived with a problem that's not acceptable. the diaphragm was deform on the right side and dent so, it's not affect the audio, but was audible when wearing. a little plasticky noise when the music spot too. very weird and not sure if it survive more than a month so i prefer to return it. on the photo it's not the cloth protection who reflect, it's the driver. i test with a light to confirm. The left side was ok, no prob at all I order a second one to test, it's possible to have a problem before arrival, i hope that will be better next time. First time on hifiman product. i give you a second and a last chance to shine.

Having started with full seperates and still have also, my first set of headphones were Grado SR60 and at the time was very impressed with what headphones could do. Some years later moved up to Grado SR32e. Loved the detail. A tiny bit bass light but not terrible, and the odd moments of a shrill treble that beng blunt coud make you cringe, though different pads helped here, but all in all had heard several others through the yeas. My ex partner has the Grado Blutooth open back headphones, and very similar to the SR60's in tonality and detail but very very impressed what Grado achieved all through aptx lossy bluetooth, also with the opyion to wire them in. Had an extended home trial of a pair of Audeze LCD-1 and while ok, wasn't particulalry seeing the fuss over them. Balanced and neutral but to the point of boredom. These arrived today and read a good 20 hours run in before they really shine. Well if that's the case then all I can say is roll on that 20 hours because I haver never heard such a balanced unflapable perefctly detailed set of headphones with timing that has made all listeming sessions before feel I've not been hearing these tracks as they should sound. The timing is in my opinion what makes these so addictve. Excellent treble that runing through my Dragonfly Cobolt never at any time has peaked to being uncomfortable. Almost as if they have been tuned to reach the perfect limit to shine but not be too bright. Creating an atmospher taking the sound way beyond your ears. A midrange just sitting as in place beside the bass as the treble to both creating a cohesive sound where nothing needs to compete to be heard. Nothing jumps out at you but you hear every detail present. Having been in Hifi as sales, advisor, and owner for around 30 years, owning high end sepeartes of many kinds, I can honestly say nothing has put a smile on my face so quickly and removed any doubts that I made a great choice as these have. On ending, if you're a bass head, or someone who prefers you music to be in your face that it is exciting maybe but unbalnced and not natural then these may not be for you. These can rock and push out beats and anything you thow at them, be certain of that, but also be clear if you want a very natural clear sound, full of detail, with impecable timing, and very controlled bass that does not try to dominate but is more than enough, and to top it off, exceptionally comfortable for my head the minute I put them on I could wear these for hours no problem, then don't hesitate. I can only add that I am amazed that for this price I have probably the best end line producer of music I have ever owned. Cant praise them enough.

Fast shipping amazing quality
