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!

Pros:
Truly a next level experience in terms of sound and 'feeling' for people who are used to regular headphones.
Sensitive to EQ.

Cons:
Clamping force is a bit tight. Headband adjustments require some 'brute force'. But then maybe it's all for a reason.
On a hot day, the earpads get hot. Not to extremely uncomfortable levels, but still noticeable.

Do I recommend them? Yes, definitely. Much much much better than my earlier Sennheiser HD599SE. But comfort on HD599SE is better.
Requires a reasonably good DAC - HIDIZS S8 and the older HIDIZS S3 (not S3 pro)drive it pretty well. This was surprising since S8 is rated at 30mW. Volume from the laptop jack is enough for me, but sound quality is definitely not.

Hifiman Sundara is an excellent pair of Headphones with planar magnetic drivers. The HP takes some power to shine their best, but once you achieve that you are in for a treat!!

Impactful slams in the lower end complement the other frequencies where the vocals have ultimate clarity and richness. Treble has a highly detailed presentation though I must say it is bright in nature. But for the price, there is nothing better available in the market today!!

Awesome service by The audio store, received the headphone the next day of ordering.

Super happy with my purchase.

Met my expectations. Extraordinary
