    Planar at such a price is a no brainer, class above closed back headphones (unless you want headphones for monitoring). If you want Hi-Fi sound with very satisfying transients, quite good sound stage, they are ideal. There's quite a lack of bass without EQ, but it has almost negligible distortion rate so you can tweak them fearlessly within reasonable limits, of course don't forget to add Pregain Value afterwards (sum in dB of how much you cut and how much you boosted). I don't see myself changing them anytime soon. (And when I say soon, I mean for years, if ever).

    If you want planar for this money, you won't find anything better. The sound is cold and the bass goes deep without ever interfering with the mids, the bass is not seismic and moves in the background, if you're tired of inflated bass and want something light, you're here, the bass is not thin, it's just light. For some, the highs will be bright, but for me, it's exactly what I want. The highs are smooth. They definitely need an external DAC and headphone amplifier.

    They have great resolution and detail, but they don't come close to the detail of more expensive headphones like the Focal Clear, of course, the Clear have a different sound, stronger bass, fuller mids, and they don't have the sound of the highs that are distinct in Hifiman.

    Initially, I used them with the DragonFly Cobalt, but it didn't have enough power sometimes in certain songs. Now I use them with the Chord Hugo 2.

    Purchased from abroad, nevertheless I will write opinions for those interested in getting them if they are ever sold here. The construction is quite good with metal all around; the cups are relatively heavy but sit well on the head and do not tire due to the leather on top. The pads are velvet on the part that touches the ear and leather on the outside; they are relatively shallow and will definitely touch the ears inside, but it doesn't bother because they are foam inside. The cable is a cable you find in headphones for 30 euros; it seems very fake, but the good thing is that you can easily find plugs to fix it since it is not something special like the Sennheiser HD660 or Focal Clear, etc. The sound is what I expected, incredibly fast with amazing separation, exactly what everyone said about the Planars... What they don't have, however, is the warm sound, nor is the bass as some say stronger than the HD650... it is a different feeling; the HD650 is more intense and warm with presence, while the Sundara is more flat and cold, reminding a bit of the 770 pro, but it goes low, you hear the progression but you don't feel a thump. Also, I should mention that the ear pads are adjustable up and down, but they don't tilt, which sometimes bothered me on the front of my face... If someone is looking for Planars, then at 370, which they have abroad, I recommend them.

    Update 2024, The first Sundara v1 I bought had a cable issue and the pads opened up; 2 years later I bought the V2, they had different pads, much better in quality, but unfortunately, the poor quality leather cracked on the sides in the first year. Lastly, I was unlucky, and the left driver sounded louder than the right. Fortunately, Hifiman's warranty and support were immediate, and they replaced both the cable, pads, and headphones (they asked me to send a photo of the damaged products before sending me replacements, strange)... So personally, I will say that yes, they are not headphones that have good quality control, but at the price they are now, 250 euros, they are worth the risk. For those who have them, do a test: play a song and slowly bring your hands close to the headphones; you will see that the sound changes significantly; these specific membranes are incredibly sensitive to air movement.
