Its attractive appearance grabs attention with the matte black finish and eye-catching earcup grills.

This is a review and detailed measurements of the Hifiman Sundara planar magnetic open back headphone. Process and analyze the NFS data yourself, including the Preference Score, Correct Spinorama, Directivity 2D and 3D live etc. The bass frequency is balanced; in fact, it’s very good for the music I listen to (mostly classicaland jazz). After all, headphones like this aren’t consumables: they’re tools to get you the best audio quality possible at the expense of simplicity. There is a possibility you've not read my work before or not come across me in your travels in the audio realm, either virtually or in the flesh.If you’ve bought the HiFiMan Sundara and are looking to squeeze out every last drop of performance, you could equalize the headphones—but you really don’t need to at all. A bit more tonally correct on the R70X and better timbre but cleaner and more detailed on the Sundara (treble is also more refined on the Sundara and less peaky). PCMag is obsessed with culture and tech, offering smart, spirited coverage of the products and innovations that shape our connected lives and the digital trends that keep us talking. For example, other HiFiMan options like the 400i and 400se are not quite up to the same audio standard (though they really sound quite good). I have also played the Sundaras on my speaker amps, which I use to drive the Susvaras, and the Sundaras become even faster.

Having said that, you have been warned to take my layman review with a grain of salt/ sugar/ aspartame or whatever that suits your weight loss plan. Instrument tonality is a lot better on the Sundara and more micro-details while the timbre Is similar. It happens to be for nullification of the malefic effects of the crow mounted, the son of Surya and Chhaya (shadow), Shani. Isolation: Next to none, also leaks a lot, to the point where you can listen to it on the other side of the cup. I am using PEQ (PK) as from my experience the definition is more consistent across different DSP/platform implementations than shelves.

During the review, I used the Sundara portably with the Shanling M8 as well as stationary with a Niimbus US4. Sub-bass: Djuro – Drop that bass (01:15-01:30), does rumble but not a lot and extension could be better (hard for an open-back to do though…).

In short, there are not many genres of music that I haven't had a listen to and I have interests in cassette, vinyl, cd, sacd, dvd, blu ray, digital and streaming. Note: The measurements you are about to see are preformed using standardized GRAS 45CA headphone measurement fixture. In my collection there are models such as HE400, deva pro with bluemini, R9, edition xs, sundara in closed version.Metallica – fight fire with fire (01:11-01:52), cleaner due to the tighter bass and slightly lower bass quantity on the Sundara. You just do not know the blood sweat and tears that goes into the turmoil of arranging one of these reviews, just for YOU dear reader! The topcontenderson the listwere: the Sennheiser HD 660-S, its cousin the HD650, and the Audio Technica ATH-AD2000X.
