Unless you've got a stable of headphones and are just looking for something different, pass on these. The sound is "different" and not ideal for someone looking for a single pair.
The he400se and the massdrop version has been $100 or less for ages now. Planars in this price range aren't really anything new.

TU! The open-back Sundara is legendary, but these closed-backs are also very good and provide more sound isolation, which I need (noisy neighborhood). I would buy at this price if I didn't have the Drop + HIFIMAN HE-R7DX Closed-Back Headphones that are similar (currently on sale for $80 and sound fantastic!).

The DT770s are pretty widely acclaimed, but some people don't like them. The closed-back Sundaras are pretty widely panned, but some people like them. It seems the biggest flaw was calling them Sundaras as people may have gotten too lofty of expectations off of that.

Personal tastes are subjective, but that's the general consensus I saw from reading a few dozen reviews of the closed back Sundaras, and having listened to DT770s. I already bought a HiFiman 400se from them for $59 sale over Black Friday, so I'm passing for now, but it's tempting.
