I just bought these last month from the last AliExpress deal. Make sure you check different browsers on desktop as well as the mobile app as the listed prices were all different for me. It ended up having a base price of $80 on the mobile app plus a $12 coupon which brought the pre-tax price to $68, so it's worth playing around with.

With that said, these are my first planar headphones and my first step up from the SHP9500 that I've been using since 2015. With EQ you can make these sound pretty much however you want, as opposed to my SHP9500 which change very little with EQ.

Sound wise, I found the SHP9500 has more sound separation (good for gaming) but music is more enjoyable on the Sundara.

As far as comfort goes, the Sundara has more clamping force (SHP9500 has almost none) and smaller ear cups so it's taking some getting used to for me. I will probably pick up some ZMF Ori ear pads in the near future since they have an oval opening rather than round (yes, they do fit).

I've read a lot of complaints about the cord but it seems fine to me for now aside from being a little short but I have an extension so it doesn't bother me.

I will say though, I might have opened Pandora's box with these because now I'm curious about other headphones and I'm trying to prevent myself from buying more.

Search on Ali for the same refurb headphone and then you'll eventually see one that will be available for your address, although maybe at a slightly different price.

Make sure your location (country, state, city) has been set. (Upper right corner of screen.) Then refresh.

Never bought from aliexpress before. Is there any buyer protection? How do we know it's legit?

The "certified original" stamp means it's been verified by Alibaba.
