Description
Blending the perfect combination of style and sound, the HiFiMAN Sundara is the best planar magnetic headphone at its price-point. The NsD diaphragm brings out the natural tonality and timbre of your music while the build quality ensures that it lasts long — over your ears as well as on a stand.
Experience Beauty
The HiFiMAN Sundara is inspired by the Sanskrit word, 'Sundara,' which literally means beautiful. This gorgeous planar magnetic headphone is designed to be beautiful in every aspect — Be it in looks as well as sound.
Stunning Audio Playback
Experience a wide frequency response with faster and detailed playback with the HiFiMAN Sundara. The open-back earcups house a new Neo supernano Diaphragm (NsD). At a mere 1-2 microns thick, it is 80% thinner than the brand's previous designs. With these drivers, every musical detail is intact, just as the artist recorded it.
Gorgeous and Comfortable
The Sundara is designed to look stunning while staying comfortable. A sleek and sumptuous matte black finish adds panache to this over-ear. The weight-dispersing strap spreads the weight of the headphone evenly to avoid any pressure. The aluminium headband is lightweight and durable to ensure that it lasts long. The 3.5mm headphone jack is durable and compatible with most smartphones and music players.
After reading many reviews on these, I decided to step up from Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro and I am impressed. Open back headphones are totally difference experience.
Thank you for your review! We're glad you're enjoying the Sundara over-ear planar magnetic headphones.
This headphone does almost everything correctly and produces a very balanced/neutral sound but still has got fun to it with some coloration in the mid range and treble. The treble is the most shining part of the spectrum and has got a lot of detail to it without being harsh on the ears. The midrange is good but the bass is subjective. To me it depends on the genre of the song you listen to. The quantity of the bass is a little less but the quality of the bass is wonderful, has good slam and attack. The soundstage is decent. The sound is very lively. For this price this is a legend.
Sound reproduction is near natural. This is my first open back headphone. So far iam happy with this. Thanks to TAS team (delivery need to improve, it took 6days to deliver)
Great pair to own and need a serious dedicated amp to drive.
Now straight to the review
Imaging is pretty good. Soundstage is slightly wide the instrument separation and air of the headphone give the illusion of a larger width.Bass is not too much in quantity, but what's there is a very tasteful and punchy.Treble is very natural and not sibilant .Mids and Vocals are not as forward and offers a different experience due to the lack of warmth, as the treble is not as recessed, vocals sound more natural.
Coming from 599 and some other entry level IEMs, they sound very complete and nothing seems to be lacking in terms of sound or stage, which I felt in my earlier devices. I like its overall sound presentation and comfort is great for me as well. I am very satisfied with the product.
Firstly, would like to thank Pritam ji from the TAS team for all the help and guidance he provided while buying the headpones and also to ensure same day delivery.
I was smitten by this pair when I had attended one of the Hifiman listening sessions arranged by The Audio Store. It helped change my decision from getting a HE400SE to the Sundaras and I don't regret it at all.
So far, Sundaras have done more than justice to all the stuff I've thrown at it. Orchestral/OSTs, Metal, EDM/Trance, Indian Classical, retro rock & pop, to name a few genres. It renders everything beautifully.
A great set, if anyone is considering, you won't regret it!

Its best wired headphone i have ever owned.
This demo unit is as perfect as the original one. The sound quality, the bass, everything is best.
For the price point of 245 rupees the quality is good.
The proliferation of the 4.4 mm (Pentaconn) connector on the output side of amps and DAPs has not been matched on the input side, except for few iFi products. The 4.4 to dual XLR is hence like heaven-sent. And TheAudioStore price is simply unbeatable.
I think earphones are just good. They are light, very minimal design, comfortable for long listening hours, sound quality is crystal clear, cable quality is also good, buttons don't work unless you have a quality converter or DAC. It has mic, what more you want. Overall it is a decent earphone.
It is my first IEM, it has good sound, first impression will be bad but as you will listen , it will be very pleasant. Use special one eartips
Friends, this is the best dac out there for the price and rightly said, it leaves no competition behind. Go for it without any second thought and this is no boasting but Pritam Ji is a good man and he will guide you in case you seek any advice.
I have been using the normal earbud style earphones earphones from ambrane, portronics etc which are priced at below 400Rs and decided to upgrade to the VE monk plus, the difference in sound clarity is easily differentiable. there is clear separation in the base, vocals etc. I guess once you use better earphones, you understand the difference in audio quality. I purchased the without mic version as i needed an earphone that works with My nokia express music 5310 as modern earphones with mic are not supported.
The HiBy R6 Pro II is an absolute triumph in terms of build and sound quality, but it wins at the cost of battery life (5.5-7.5 hours). If you're able to accommodate this design choice, I believe you'd be hard-pressed to find a better DAP for under $1000.
The R6 Pro II is built like a tank and looks stunning in purple. Album artwork pops on the crisp 2K display, and I've yet to encounter bugs with the rock-solid implementation of Android 12. Although it runs warm during operation (especially Class A mode), it's not been an issue thus far.
The AKM chipset offers musicality against a pitch-black background without compromising on neutrality. Its MSEB feature provides ample customization options and enables listeners to tweak the sound as per their preferences. The soundstage width is already excellent, and I hope the depth improves after burn-in to lend more of a holographic experience.
Works as intended!
Sony does not disappoint with the NW-A306. I like the customization possibilities and the android interface.
The shell is big bit somehow very comfortable fo extended use. The sound signature is about what I expected soo no complaints there. The only thing is I'm not a big fan of l connectors but that's a minor gripe.
This is my first IEM and my mind is blown by the audio quality of it and also the premium feel and built quality of the IEM which is made by Zr ceramic. It not only looks and feels good but also the clarity, passive noise cancellation, and comfort are good. Definitely a 10/10 and would suggest the people to buy it. The gift packaging it came into was also very thoughtful from the side of 'The audio store' people and was impressed by it.
