Also, the fit is not great. There is no elastic five whatsoever in the pleather headband strip, and I felt like I was about to break them when extending the ear cups from the headband.
Detail is phenomenal on these. With a good recording and something that can properly drive these you'll hear details you may not have notices before. Soundstage is a bit too tight for my liking, but I tend to prefer more separation than most.
Community Reviews
The Sundara is an open back planar headphone that stands out for detail, soundstage, and strong value at this price. It sounds neutral to slightly bright, with good bass that is not aimed at bassheads, and it takes equalization very well. Power helps a lot, so an amp or balanced output brings out more of what it can do. The main cautions are a tight fit, a somewhat fragile headband design, and questions about AliExpress authenticity or version differences. A strong pick for listeners who want revealing planar sound and can drive it properly.
Common Questions (5)
Yes. It can sound good without one, but it is fairly power-hungry and opens up more with a proper amp or balanced output. With enough clean power, detail, dynamics, and overall value improve noticeably.
No. The Sundara is more mid/treble-forward and neutral than bass-heavy, so it does not emphasize heavy punch and slam. It still produces good bass, and EQ can add more low-end if needed.
The pair reported by buyers is genuine, and the listing is described as the 2020 or later version. The only noted revision difference is slightly thinner pads on the 2020+ model.
It can play from portable gear, but volume may be limited and a balanced cable can help unlock more output from a capable dongle or amp. One setup needed 92% volume on 3.5mm versus 65% on 4.4mm balanced for the same loudness.
Yes. It responds very well to EQ and can be tuned toward different preferences, including taming brightness or adding bass. That flexibility is a major reason it is considered strong value at this price.

For those with address issues, make sure your address is correct in AE. I buy all my Hall Effect and TMR stick replacements from AE and I did have issues when I first started. I removed and added my address back to my profile and it worked.
I also only use PayPal for checkout.

cant get any coupons to apply though, syas it failed for "security reasons"
Speaking of power, these are fairly power hungry, but don't confuse power with quality. A high quality amp that is just barely powerful enough to reach your preferred volume (with a little headroom) will sound better than a crappy amp that's 10x more powerful. My amp is a good illustration: even though it doesn't get loud enough using unbalanced cables (because it can't push as much power in that configuration), it sounds just as good. Just not loud enough for quieter mixes.
So don't blow your budget chasing more power than you need—raw power is not what makes headphones (even power-hungry headphones) sound good. It's just what makes them loud. If it's loud enough and still doesn't sound good, you have another problem (bad quality headphones, needs EQ, bad quality amp, etc).
