Wow! Amazing price! I paid around $200 used several years back. You will need a dac and amp or dac/amp combo to power these.

Edit: The link isn't working for me. It opens a new tab and then immediately closes the tab.


When I search for them myself I see this "[IMG]https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i2/O1CN017uFr2G20Ioe3DVqO5_!!6000000006827-2-tps-24-24.png[/IMG] This product can't be shipped to your address. Select another product or address."

Got it for 86 dollars with tax. Tried getting this a couple months ago and UPS ate my package the day before it was to be delivered. Here's hoping I have better luck this delivery.

I would have just requested a replacement, but that's not how Aliexpress works. Despite clearly being lost/stolen, you can't do anything until 30 days have expired. Then it's just credit/refund.

I'm far from an expert so take this with a grain of salt. I have the Drop/Sennheiser 6XX. The Sundaras have planar magnetic drivers so they are different that our Senns. They have a wider soundstage and their faster. They are pretty good at separating instruments from one another. There should be tons of comparisons online so I would try a search to get more detailed info and opinions. I also don't follow newer offerings that may be a better choice.

I have a small head so I have to use spacers for the Sundaras. I don't have that problem with Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic cans.

A Dac and amp are investments. They can run anywhere from a couple hundred dollars for both to thousands. It really comes down to personal preference. Schitt is a brand made in the US if that is important. Most brands offer budget, mid and high end offerings.

I have a FIIO K10E which apparently has been replaced with the K3 now, but I was super fond of it and still use it for my laptop. I eventually bought a larger K5Pro (around 200 USD) and am quite fond of it too, I have had both for multiple years with absolutely no problems and lots of abuse to both devices,

I have these headphones and they are absolutely excellent... and at this price they are an absolute steal. They are surprisingly comfortable and there are lots of 3rd party options including replacement pads if you like cooling gel for example.

These will work fine just plugging them into your computer/player, but they really shine when you use an amplifier. I love the Schitt stack, the Magni/Modi combination (DAC + Amp) is a perfect compliment and they sound awesome.

You can honestly tell the difference in music. It's not just placebo.

Depends on how much you want to spend. For relatively inexpensive you can get a Fosi Audio (K5, K7, etc) or Creative G8. If you want to spend bigger many options from Schiit, Fiio, or Creative X5. Just type in any of those brands and you will get tons of options at different price points. Creative has plenty of nifty software gimmicks for gaming and surround, but also can have driver issues.

It seems like there's a number of Hifiman cans on sale - is this a better deal? The Hifiman Edition XS

edit: I forgot how batshit Aliexpress's pricing is - in an incognito window I see 119.77 and when I click that link I see 141.24

Bought these a little over a year ago for $150 so this is an amazing deal for a really great planar HP. HiFiMan is a favorite brand and I have many Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic & Grado, but like the planar design the best., For a DAC/AMP go for the HiFiMan EF400 R2R and take advantage of the balance mode.
