The Sundara has seen several changes over the years. But the latest version of the Sundara is perhaps the best. You will need a powerful amplifier to drive this planar magnetic headphone, and when paired correctly, these are fantastic headphones for any audiophile.

REFERENCE GRADE SOUND WITH THE ALL-NEW NEO "SUPERNANO" DIAPHRAGM AND PLANAR MAGNETIC DRIVERS
Modern headphones typically use one of two driver technologies, The more traditional 'dynamic' driver and the more technical 'planar magnetic' driver. Sundara has planar magnetic drivers that give you a fast response within the frequency spectrum. The NEO "supernano" diaphragm of the Sundara is 80% slimmer than previous designs resulting in a quicker and more detailed response while retaining the lush musicality. If you favour a more reference-level tuning, you will enjoy the "Sundara" a lot. The HiFiMAN "Sundara" has excellent resolution and detail wrapped in a relatively refined and smooth presentation. Every nuance of your music will come to life.



A UNIQUE BLEND OF ELEGANT LOOKS AND PHENOMENAL AUDIO PRESENTATION
HiFiMAN excels in two key areas; build and sound quality. All of this is wrapped around the phrase "beautiful", the literal translation of the word Sundara (Sanskrit). Just like its name means 'beautiful'. Sundara's lovely fashion-forward looks in no way compromise on sound quality. The aluminium headband is lightweight but durable. The adjustable headband and earpads are made of synthetic leather and offer the comfort of the highest order. "Crisp" is the adjective you can think of to describe how the Sundara sounds. It's difficult to tell whether the Sundara's 'crispness' is a symptom of its frequency response or a personality attribute of its planar magnetic driver.



DELIVERING EXCEPTIONAL SOUNDSTAGE AND IMAGING FOR YOU TO EXPERIENCE A SONIC VOYAGE
"Crisp" is the adjective you can think of to describe how the Sundara sound. It is difficult to tell whether the Sundara's crispness is a symptom of its frequency response or a personality attribute of its planar magnetic driver. The soundstage, more than any other characteristic, is what sets the Sundara apart from any other headphone. It ticks all the boxes for clarity, tonality, scale, and dynamics. Be prepared to be astounded by Sundara's contribution of numerous subtleties. It delivers a holographic and airy sound maintaining coherence and cohesiveness. The HiFiMAN Sundara has a superb soundstage, excellent imaging, and a sense of depth and space thanks to its open-back design. The Sundara offers a fully immersive listening experience. These headphones are successful everywhere and add depth and body to every recording. As a result, listeners are treated to an intricately precise sonic voyage.

DELIVERING SUPERIOR COMFORT WITH PRESSURE DISPLACEMENT LEATHER STRAP AND FOCUS A PADS
If you have been a long-time HiFiMAN headphone user, the first thing you will notice about the Sundara is the modernistic clean lines and lack of fussiness, especially around the hinges and cups. The form factor is coherent with a more consistent matt black colouring and use of materials that seem better finished. Just like its sound, Sundara looks gorgeous too. Just leave them on the table; the matte black finish, and the earcup grills, are sure to grab your eyeballs. It has a very industrial appearance and robustness; they look like headphones that would survive an otherwise devastating fall. Sundara is pretty comfortable; The headband has a leather adjustment strap underneath for pressure displacement and comfort. The "Focus A" pads feel luxuriously soft; the clamp strength feels just right for the headphones to stay in place without squeezing your head.


EASY CONNECTIVITY WITH HIGH-GRADE CRYSTALLINE COPPER CABLE
Be it your smartphone, laptop or DAP, Sundara can connect to just about any device with its 3.5mm termination. HiFiMAN has spared no expense in designing the "Sundara," which features 3.5mm TRS female connections on each earcup for customising and swapping cables. The cable is made of high-grade crystalline copper and has a TRS 3.5mm jack on one end and 3.5mm headphone connections on the other. You can also upgrade to a balanced cable for a full-range experience. Although a single-ended connection sounds fantastic, the balanced connection gives the audio more depth and richness.
