These headphones look like they were never used. I could not detect or find any signs of were. They seem brand new. I still have to run some music through them but I am confident they will perform like new.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A classic in the making
I got the Sundara today and have been listening to it. I've also done some comparative critical listening between it and my modded M1060, which has survived my personal headphone roulette that has seen the demise of E-MU Teak, the HE4XX, and the HD650 (which I later re-bought in the form of the HD6XX). Critical listening: Last Jedi Trailer and a handful of tracks I've become very familiar with. TL;DR: To describe how I feel about it succinctly: I'm seriously impressed with the HIFIMAN Sundara. I've owned and listened to the RBH HP-2, M1060, HE4XX, HD600/6XX, Noble K10U, E-MU Teak, and the Sundara is easily the best non-speaker audio thing I've listened to. To my ears, it is dead neutral with impressive performance throughout its frequency response. Bass is taut, textured, emotional, extremely well extended, and definitely not one-note. Its bass performance is almost as good as the M1060, but the M1060's more powerful magnets and 106mm diaphragm pushes its low frequency performance just ahead as a matter of physics. I was worried that the midrange might feel a bit sucked out on these, but I don't get that at all. In fact, the midrange on these feel super smooth and impart an incredibly realistic amount of body and space to both male and female vocals. Also imaging! Probably the first orthos I've heard with actual depth! Vocals appear front and center, how I like it. Tonality! OMG. Vocals feel so real on these. My disappointment with the HE4XX was that it often strayed into sibilance for me, and when it didn't, high notes sounded slightly compressed / smeared / one-note. Ori pads and some felt tape in some key areas helped a lot, but the issue was always there. To my ears the M1060 were just a way better listen due its significantly better transients, technical performance, and smooth listening. But compared to the Sundara, the M1060 sounded immediately veiled/muffled/distant in the treble department compared to the Sundara. This is the first time I've heard the "veiled" sensation for myself beyond reading about it. It is real. At the same time, the treble on the Sundara is not sibilant at all. It's just clear, present, smooth, and neither forward nor recessed compared to the rest of the frequencies. Probably the most resolving pair of headphones I've listened to (the Noble K10U are more resolving, but that's sort of an unfair comparison and arguably artificial in its presentation of detail). The Sundara is an incredibly cohesive listen with very good technicalities. I can't find any faults with it. I really like it. I'm surprised by how much I like it. Bass is incredible in quality and quantity, midrange has body and space and tonality, and treble is resolving and smooth. Expansive soundstage with great imaging.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great performing headphones, built with quality to produce outstanding sound!
These Hifiman Sundara headphones are the best I have ever owned! They are comfortable, fill your head with great sound, and are priced very competitively for the high performance they produce. I can't say enough about these headphones, they are lightweight, built to last, and exude quality. I encourage anyone needing quality, high-performance headphones to purchase these. You will not be disappointed...Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

great quality for price
Product works well, they were a little tight but could be bent into a comfortable shape, my only complaint is the adjustment feature scrapes on the notches and leaves damage on the product.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Perfect and natural headphones
I have had Sennheisers from Mass Drop, the HE400 from Hifi Man, a couple B&W pair. I had to keep trying until I got to these. I liked the others, but my home system is pretty high quality and I wanted a pair that were as revealing yet musical, as well as enveloping with a large sound stage like what I am used to. These do it. Natural, enveloping with fast and deep bass, transparent mids and appropriate bell-like highs. Love them. I use a Cobalt DAC now, but will upgrade..though the Cobalt does the trick pretty well. Nothing better in that price point at all that I can see.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

I really like these headphones they sound really good and way better than any gaming headset I've every had. The headphones also have great build quality and feel somewhat rigid and bass sounds good while tracking dropped tuned guitars and music instrument separation is fairly clear to hear with these headphones.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great phones, especially for the $!
I gave this just four stars as it wouldn't allow me 4 1/2. I really like these as they're comfortable and they sound very good with lots of transparency, detail, etc. I sometimes find the sound to be just a tad too crispy and lacking warmth, but I think that may only be because I bought them in nearly new condition where they didn't have many hours or maybe none at all on them, and they're known for taking a long time to break in and sound their best so they'll probably sound much better later.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

You will love them.
Hi I would buy these cans again. They sound so good it’s amazing. I own a lot of headphones (sennhiser hd 580,600,650 and 700) and believe me I go to these cans1st. Pick them up from Gramaphone for 299.00 open box. Could not be happier. By the way I also own better dt 880 250 ohms and ath ad 1000s. I know cans.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Fantastic Start to Planar Magnetic headphones
Fantastic product. Comparing this to my previous headphones (Sennheiser 599SE HD) applying this to a Aune T1 gives it so much clarity and gives life to bass compared them. I'll be upgrading my DAC/AMP to get even better sound from these headphones.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great sounding entry level magnetic planer
These I believe is Hifiman’s entry level, however they sound so good I may not venture to the higher priced magnetic planers. I suspect the law of diminishing returns hits would begin to apply after these.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
