Community Reviews
The Sundara is a planar magnetic over ear headphone best known for wide soundstage, fast response, and strong instrument separation, with especially good mids and a warmer, more intimate presentation that suits rock and gaming. Comfort is a recurring strength, and replacement pads and other third party accessories are available. It can run straight from a laptop or tablet, though an amplifier or DAC amp brings out more of what it can do. Main drawbacks are the lack of a microphone and inline volume controls, plus AliExpress pricing and shipping hassles.
Sundara can sound especially strong when paired with an amplifier and DAC stack.
Sundara offers a wider soundstage and strong instrument separation for planar magnetic listening.
Sundara can be used as a daily driver by plugging into a laptop or tablet without separate amplification.
Sundara supports third-party replacement pads, including cooling gel options.
Sundara may require a DAC and amp or DAC/amp combo to reach proper performance.
AliExpress checkout can fail due to credit card processing or verification issues, and prices can fluctuate across browsers.
UPS shipping can result in lost or stolen packages, with limited recourse until the return window expires.
Sundara lacks a microphone and inline audio controls, which can be deal breakers for some buyers.

One of the Fiio's I have is portable with a built in battery, which is pretty cool because I'm always traveling for work but the other just needs usb power so I can use that with a battery bank.

It legit debuted at over $1000+ though so if you weant a crazy good headphone... its worth the full ($250) price and the lower you get it at, the better.
I'd buy some replacement ear pads now though... that goes for every Hifiman purchase.
