Thanks for the review!

Professor, thank you for another wonderful headphone review! 👌 I never wear my Audeze, as they're too heavy for my skinny neck. 😢

They've made strides with the build and weight. Still a ways to go for some.

@@wavetheorysound I know you aren't a huge fan of meze headphones technical abilities wise, but man do they nail the comfort. I honestly cannot recommend any product that I could not wear for a full work day, because I think the majority of people that care about high end headphones most likely listen to music while working.

Great review! Incidentally, the Sanskrit word "sundara" is bereft of long vowels. 🤓

GM from Toronto ☕️…it’s damn early. I’m running the latest generation of the LCDX (Creator Edition) ..and it’s damn nice ! I’ve been thinking of adding another one of their headphones in my stable ..BUT probably the latest LCD 2 ..but these do look interesting 🧐 Great review 👍👍

I'm a professional musician and with Oratory EQ settings these headphones are absolutely phenomenal. Sound texture, imaging, instrument separation... you can even hear effects such as reverb, compression, etc... (And this is not due to the stock tuning) well balanced and very detailed. More technical than the Sundara for me, and better sound texture. The soundstage is not very wide, but sufficient (very effective for studio work) and the right-left stereo effect is extremely precise (sometimes it even seems as if sounds are coming slightly from behind). But the stock tuning is very particular (not necessarily unpleasant but very specific) so I'm not a fan and it even could be dangerous for yous ears (I've paid the price) there is a big pic at 3k (ear gain) and these frequencies are quite corrosive for the ears especially at loud volume. So if you want tracking with it or working your instrument you have to EQ it.

I used to be such an audeze fan but the lcd5 and all of these MM sets have been such misses. The lcd4 was 🔥🔥 they just needed to improve upon that. I fear for the future of audeze.

I've had a hit or miss relationship with them too. Mark Cohen is a sincere guy who cares, though. I wouldn't write them off yet.

21:24 I’ve got the Sen’s 650 ..and I’m good ..also the overlooked HiFiman 400i (2020) ..a slightly more aggressive Sundara …both are way cheaper than the MM 100…

I have OLLO for monitor use.

Would've been nice to compare it to the Ananda Nano. Somewhat closer in price. Especially curious as to how they compare in terms of slam.

Fair. IMO Ananda Nano > Sundara, so by the transitive property...

Have you ever tried headphones calibration done by Accurate Sound or their DSP (convolver) and presets for headphones they provide? Thanks.

No. TBH software EQ just does not interest me.

Maybe I'm just a cranky, old curmudgeon, but I've got no interest in a product that I have to use software equalization to fix the tuning of. Nor do I think companies like Audeze should be given leniency in reviews just because they provide EQ support directly.

There is no such thing as a perfect tuning, EQ exists because we like tweeking and personalizing our experiences.

@PaulBloomlittledevil Where did I say that Audeze, or any company, had to make perfectly tuned headphones? Or that I had any issues with using EQ to tweak/personalize one to your liking? I didn't. I said that they shouldn't be given leeway in reviews for making badly tuned products just because they take well to, and directly support EQ. There's a rather sizable gap between the former and the latter.
