Yeah, how the hell does this video from almost a year ago only have 35k views? This guy is easily the best headphone reviewer on KZread.

i love the frequency of uploads, you are so deliberate in the way you are describing how exactly you hear the sound in every aspect, so much more in depth then most other reviewers especially more than that hippy zeos. metal user is great too. if you listen to zeos you just dont know what you are buying exactly. your video editing is quite pleasing to the eye as well, very professional

After viewing literally hours of headphone reviews, I decided to get the Sundara's. They finally arrived and they really turned my head on fire...I love them!! I've been listening to Classical music, Opera, Symphonic Rock, Classic Rock, Jazz, Michael Jackson, etc. and I really adore them!! The depth and color of the bass is beautiful and natural, mids and treble are crispy clear and very present. Regarding quality, I feel them sturdy and well built. The ear pads are very comfortable too. The headset fits perfectly well. I really think that above this level you're in the situation where you experience the same difference as there is in wines where when you go over 20 bucks the bottle you realize that it's all bs, status and marketing (said by famous enologists). So if your looking for something fantastic and affordable, don't even hesitate one second. Just do it!!

Came across your channel recently when looking for quality reviews on Cavalli CTH and I am hooked ever since. You bring a different perspective with focus on music rather than just talking about charts and numbers and love your playlist videos. Please have more of those, great to discover new songs through your videos like Amber Rubarth in this video. Keep up the great work!

I tested these headphones today, and your review is pretty spot on. Only thing I’d add in terms of comfort is that if you live in a warmer more humid climate, all that cushion does tend to make your head sweat. Ultimately I’ll be returning them and keeping my beloved HD650 for their comfort and less sweating.

Keep up the great reviews Josh. Really enjoy them and they make purchasing decisions way easier !!

Man I can't believe youre not getting more views, also looking forward to that DX7s review!

Your videos have came a long way and you keep improving. I took a long break and this is a completely different channel. Hifiman gave me a pair of these before they came out. They are bright but these headphones have a lot of wiggle room if you eq them. I turn up the low end and turn down the high end and these sound like a crisp 6XX with better tighter bass.

I've had this headphone for a few months now and what he describes above is pretty much what it sounds like when new. I thought it a tad bright at the beginning but now with adequate run-in time, the bass is more prominent now and this gives it a slightly warmer sound signature. It sounds great paired with the smooth and musical Audio-GD R2R-11

I like almost everything except those piercing highs/treble (used a tissue paper mod to tame it). and build quality issues is still there. The yolks broke on my HE-350 (without doing anything) after a few weeks of use. Hopefully they would have a better quality control and those trebles need to be tame. These are the only reason i'm skeptical in getting another Hifiman product. Anyways! Good Review man!

The album he talks about is really good. Don't even like the music that much but you feel like you are in the room and that room is perfect and your ears weep with joy.

I love mine, I use it for Vinyl only via the Schiit Mani phono-stage and the Monoprice Liquid Spark Amp, I preffer the Sundara over the Ananda.

Received my Sundara today, they sound absolutely lovely. Agree that the bass is slightly more recessed than I'd like but with a little tweaking they're easily my best pair of cans already! Completely agree on the cable, it is garbage. Holding the curl from the way it was packaged, and the outer material feels pretty cheap and nasty. The connectors are sturdy though so I might just hold onto it for that reason. I've got a balanced cable on the way to replace it, thankfully!

So I’m considering getting these or the 6xx and leaning more towards the 6XX due to that $130 price difference, but in trying to see if these are essentially “$130 more headphone” compared to the 6XX. Im not avid music head or audiophile, i mainly want a good, lear headphone with great soundstage to track and listen for footsteps and i also will listen to youtube or some music on my computer but i do like music hence why I wouldn’t mind a good headphone for both. Im currently running a set of Sennheiser 599 SE’s i got for like $80 bucks and compared to the headsets i had made such a big difference, like 60htz to 175htz refresh rate difference in monitors, so now my curiosity has me wanting more. Sorry for the essay but if anyone made it to the bottom, could recommend any other good headphones around that $200-350 rang that would fit the bill maybe a but better than th3 Sundara’s or 6XX’s?

Hey Josh, I recently got some crackling in my Hifiman 4xx left earcup and decided it's time for an upgrade. They're 3 years old and from what I can tell from online, it's probably time for a replacement. I'm thinking of going with the Sundara's for my upgrade and I was wondering of your opinion on that. For reference, it would be paired with my Magni Heresy and Modi 3. I mainly game, but after using the Hifiman 4xx with my amp and dac, I find myself listening to music at my PC more often. Thanks for all the help and getting me into this hobby!

If I plugged these in to my Xbox controller will they work if not how can I get them to work is there a work around??

But, I know to really enjoy them, I'll have to get a better amplifier. Rupert Neve's headphone amplifier, is my next step, it's not the most attractive amplifier( but how listens to looks) but, in my research, the power is MORE than adequate. So, Patrick that's the direction I'm heading, let me know what happens in you're audio journey I'd really like to hear what kind of set-up you have. Take care.

I have some hifiman sundara headphones, I haven't really heard many other headphones so I can't compare them to anything in their price range... However I found when I tried one or two affordable headphone amp/DAC's it can often sound like it has the very low bass roll off a bit sharply and would need some equalizer to *subtly* correct its really really almost unhearably low bass ranges to make it sound a bit more life like. However using the optical port on my PC into my headphone amp suddenly made it sound a bit deeper and my headphone amp has a bass boost option which does a great job of adjusting if anything its slightly too bassy for true to life sounds but for listening to music with synthetic bass its more enjoyable.. I found that when playing back binaural recordings even from youtube like 3dio's channel "nothing to see hear" video or the youtube video "binaural acoustic recording - harry keyworth with 3dio binaural mic" when played through youtube in the edge browser in an up to date version of windows 10 using optical output from PC to a headphone amplifier to my ears it sounds rather like how sound is supposed to sound depending on the amplifier you are using you may get a rather great experience.. I believe its been calibrated to reproduce live recordings of bands and other such things as these are open backed they make things sound a touch more live than closed back headphones in my untrained unqualified opinion. I think this is why it lacks in directional/positional accuracy I believe it was intentional or else you would be constantly looking around everywhere and probably driven insane because you would think everything you hear is in the room with you. It sounds cool but with the he400's plugged straight into my cheap nasty terrible onboard soundcard lots of youtube older videos with shaky handcams were "too" accurate and positional for sounds like running water or footsteps or breathing and every 2 minutes you will look over your shoulder and hearing people breathing in the room that aren't in the room is plain disturbing. I think the he400s were made for use with some of the worlds worst audio devices, specifically iphones and other apple products, so using the cheapest nastiest onboard sound on a PC motherboard made them sound like they were approaching pitch perfection with some audio recordings and it was cool at first but enentually annoyed the heck out of me and I was furious that any high quality audio device made them sound like dirt and not good at all the better the amp the worse the he400s sounded. Maybe I could have saved some money and gotten he4xx's but I wanted a local retailers warranty on them so I could take them to store to return if theres a fault or issue as I'm from Australia. I'm unclear of massdrops warranty but it probably involves weeks of waiting and postage costs to return things. So the sundara being made for use to work good with optical headphone amplifiers without driving you mad looking around the room is a great thing as far as i'm concerned. They maybe aren't perfect but for me I doubt i'll need much better because if they got any better it might make them worse in some ways. My cheap quad driver kz zs6 in ear headphones with a KZ usb type C cable into my LG v30 sound almost as good as the hifiman sundara but in different ways. I'm using them with some spherical memory foam eartips and those kz zs6's only cost under $50 but are amazingly uncomfortable and aren't as detailed/lifelike as these but still sound pretty darn close and in some ways better so you don't need to spend $500usd for a good sound but for me these are importantly comfortable and sound better when used with better audio amplifiers/devices. The sundara are maybe expensive and you do need an amp with optical and hopefully bass boost or an equalizer for them but I don't regret buying them.

I got a pair of these about a week ago. So far, I think they sound great and have had no issues with them other than the cable. I just ordered a new cable from periapt by your recommendation. The cable that comes with the cans is truly miserable.

I have them and I love them. I had no quality problems until now (1 month). I preffered them over the beyerdynamic t5p2nd (didnt like the signature). For 350 Euros, they are perfect for me.

Hey Josh. Have you ever considered doing a vid on music? Well recorded that is. I've been waiting for a headphone reviewer to share some of what they're listening to. Your Amber Rubarth recommendation is fantastic! I wanted to add to your recommendation. Please give this album a listen bro! Ottmar Liebert- Up Close. It's a binaural recording. Simply sublime, and I know that you will dig it! Hopefully you will read this.

Is this headphone the same as the 4XX?

For HifiMan you should make a Review for L + R drivers differently :)

what do you mean by the speed of the headphones?
