The Sundara is a bright, very neutral open back planar that stands out for detail, imaging, and bass extension once it is properly powered and EQed. At this price it is widely framed as a strong value, especially compared with models that cost around twice as much. The main catch is power, since it benefits from a dedicated DAC and headphone amp, and the stock tuning can feel light on bass. Fit, treble brightness, and HiFiMan quality control also come up, so it suits listeners who can drive it and tolerate a leaner sound.

It's widely considered exceptional mid-fi for the price. A little light on bass for non audiophiles and can be described as very very neutral. I like them out of the box plugged into my computer AND I liked it more after personalizing EQ settings. Additional tip: buy a separate DAC/amp combo for a cleaner sound like Fiio K5 or K11

If you want a warmer sound, check out out the Fiio FT1 Pro.

Last note: These are open back meaning you can hear noise from your surroundings. I like this because I can hear my cat meowing at my feet and it feels less stuffy.

What a bargain! These were $300 not that long ago. You will need a dac and amp to get the most of these.

It's a great headphone. I had it a long time ago but sold it. I got it again with this exact deal a few days ago when it first went live. It showed up yesterday and is still as good as I remember. It's a bright neutral sound. It's a touch brighter and leaner than the HD600 but with much better bass extension. It also requires something that can put out at least 1 watt if you want eq headroom for the bass. Even without eq, a lot of the dongle dacs with only 200-300mw output will start to distort with heavy bass. It's one of the best budget options if you have the power to push it.

Great headphone and a smoking deal at this price! I've owned a set of the 2020 revision for years and they are great. I power them with an external amp and DAC, so can't really comment on performance directly connected to a phone or laptop. I did swap out the stock cable as well. The stock provided one is a super rubbery, fiddly, microphonic fiend.

ASR measured them. They're certainly a deal at this price, but you will likely need a headphone amp, as they are power hungry, and definitely, definitely will need EQ. Otherwise, way too little bass.
Thus, despite what others say, not neutral at all. They'd sound bright because there's no bass, but they're capable of bass with EQ.
Also, the distortion is better than most but not excellent. Good at normal listening levels. OK loud. Bad at ear bleeding.

I get "This item can't be shipped to the selected region." when trying to buy it, even without the coupon code. I am in Texas...

You need to sign in to your AliExpress account & make sure you have your address saved in your address book before adding it to your cart. If you've already done both of those, then try selecting other for address.
