The HE-560 has more bass than the Sundara, I personally like the HE-560 (both versions) better, but the Sundara has perhaps smoother mids, highs, and a bit more detail. The 560 is one of my all time favorite headphones.
The discount from $800 is a bit fake (cause only Adorama sells them and they are frequently sold for $280). Still at $250-$280 I think there are few or no headphones that sound as good.
They do sound better with a headphone amp, but I do not think it is an absolute necessity. There are a lot of cheap amps that work GREAT with it like the JDS Atom, Schiit Magni (both versions) and Monoprice Liquid Spark (all about $100). Some dongles that put out a lot of power into low ohm headphones like the E1DA 9038D and the bargan Tempotec Sonata HD Pro work great.
ADD: "Noticeable sound difference compared to Sony XM4?" - Yes, they are totally different. The XM4 is a closed cup headphone that blocks outside noise, the 560 is open back that lets all noise in and lets others hear your music. HE-560 is much more audiophile listening in a quiet space. The HE-560 is much less audiophile listening in an airplane or on a bus.

I had issues with my headphones, and they replaced them no questions asked. Took about one week from time it left me till time they gave me new ones!

Both are great headphones for money and for casual listening either is fine. But if I want to get completely lost in the music the only one I can do that with consistently is the 560s.
