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.

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.

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

Is a macbook pro 16" m1+ a headphone amp?
Actually, yes:

"MacBook Pro models introduced in 2021 or later feature advanced headphone amplification capabilities, designed to eliminate the need for external DACs/amps for most users, including professionals. These Macs feature an enhanced 3.5 mm headphone jack with intelligent impedance detection and adaptive voltage output."

The low impedance of the Sundara would still cause it to pose an issue though, I think you need a much higher impedance to trigger this functionality.

Anyone have the best deal for a DAC to power these?E: decided to go with XS refurb deal I saw posted in Jan. here on SD instead of this Sundara deal. Going to pick up the FiiO K7BT and 4.4mm to Dual 3.5mm youkamoo balanced cable.Pretty stoked since I looked at headphones during covid lockdown and I think these headphones were selling for more than I am paying for my whole setup.
That amp works great with sundara, I have both of them myself

Sometimes you raw dawg the 3.5mm port and learn your lesson after. 🙃
Yep, I tried enjoying my k7xx off a cheap Dell pc tower back in the day and was pretty disappointed until a Topping dac/amp arrived.

I have an old but still going pair of DT770 250ohm, which are typically also considered to be pretty flat. How would these compare on a USB DAC (AudioQuest Dragonfly)? Is it worth the up-/side-grade?
These are openback planars so you'll notice a difference in bass character and overall timbre and improved imaging over your closed-back 770. Definitely an upgrade in my book if you don't need the privacy of closed back.

These are super bright - if you don't like ear piercing treble peaks, stay away.

Anybody else find it impossible to use AliExpress now? Can't ship to this address. That's this time last time couldn't take the promo code. Try to delete my account couldn't even do that. I wonder how much business they lose to this.

Note the return policy says item must be unused. That of course means you can't try these headphones and decide they don't meet your needs. Buyer beware.

IMO these at $100 ish with F all headache of a warranty/return from Ali is about what they are worth.
They are good but mid tier and have some fit and finish that can be ehh easy to break or un comfy for some.
Theres just a lot of competition out there now.
Amazon a set of FT1 Pro IMO first

I wonder what the chances are these are real at this price and not some knockoff?
