I just prefer reading over watching. Everyone is different which is also the point of audio gear.
Personally Sundaras are better at majority of genres than the 6xx, while the 6xx I like for classical and instrumental music. Hence why I rec the Sundara's over the 6xx if you are only getting one pair.
But you gave just a blanket suggestion of spending the extra money for the Sundara. I've heard the Sundaras, great headphones but I'd choose the Elex as a better overall headphones for me...which I did when they went on sale, but they probably get the same amount of ear time that my other headphones get, because the other ones do better in certain genres and I listen to a very wide range of music(except country). Why tell people what to buy when you don't know their preferences for sound is or what genres of music they listen to?
Also 6xx is $179 + tax vs Sundaras are currently $299 with no tax (hifiman does not charge tax here) they frequently have $25+ off coupons.
About prices $299 is open box so if you want to compare them to HD6XX you should use new price not open box. Otherwise we can find both headphones cheaper in ebay as used like new. Also everyone can get $10 discount by using a new email to order so price is $169 not $179 and I don't see any $25 coupon right now. And even we assume all thse are true still we are looking at $169 vs $275 still more than 60% higher so not a fair comparison.
Another point related to price is that I read and heard from multiple reviewers that HD6XX is good with most amplifiers while Sundara needs a good amplifier to reach to its potential (I think because Sundara is a planar). This makes the total price difference between these choices even higher.
One final point, I read people still using their even 15 years old HD600 in forums etc. but I see many Hifiman cans are broken after just a couple of years. Yes sound is important but this is also important for me.
This is a choice. You can find better cans than Sundara but probably you were not willing to pay that much and others decided for HD6XX. Nothing wrong with any of these choices. They are both very good headphones no need to insult the other to justify our own choices.
As in the headphone itself there is no end to how high you can go with these equipment but even cheaper equipments use renowned chips. So I guess it will be good enough for now and I plan to buy a better combo in the future.
Wanted to share my experience for a budget solution.

For devices without a 3.5mm jack you need a USB C (or lightning) to 3.5mm converter which includes a DAC chip in it. According to my research Conexant CX31993 DAC adapter is a good one with decent DAC chip and can be bought pretty cheap at Aliexpress.
Note that what these headphones require is an amplifier rather than a DAC. A good DAC may improve sound quality but any other headphone would also benefit from that. But since these headphones require more power than a regular earbud, power provided by a simple PC audiojack will not be enough to drive them. It is the amplifier not the DAC that provides the power to them.

Honestly the "except country" meme by people trying to project how wide ranging their music tastes are, shows how ignorant they are and certainly not open to a wide range of music.
Going forward, when you want to depict how wide ranging your music choices are, don't say "except country" cause it has the exact opposite effect.
