## Description

HiFiMan Sundara Planar Dynamic Driver Over Ear Headphones The HiFiMan Sundara headphones are a pair of over ear headphones with planar dynamic drivers. What is a Planar Dynamic Driver? Sometimes referred to as orthodynamic headphones planar magnetic headphones differ to the more traditional dynamic headphone. Dynamic headphones generate sound by using a coil of wire (often called a voice coil) attached to a diaphragm and a suspension is created to allow the coil and diaphragm to move back and forth like a piston moving enough air to produce sound. However depending on the quality of the dynamic headphone speaker cone there will be inconsistencies across the frequency spectrum meaning that though many dynamic headphones have a very nice sound signature they are not necessarily 100% accurate when they reproduce an audio signal. Dynamic headphones also deteriorate quicker over time. In contrast planar magnetic headphones use an incredibly thin lightweight and resilient film diaphragm (around 1/10th the thickness of a human hair) stretched over a sturdy frame and placed between magnetic arrays. In these headphones the coil is unwound and spread across this film diaphragm. As the current flows the magnetic field is created within the headphone that causes the diaphragm to move. The film diaphragm in planar magnetic headphones is often lighter than the air it is moving meaning that they can be driven with an incredible accuracy. The sound they produce feature faster transients more responsive bass more detailed highs and a wider dynamic range than other headphones. As the voice coil is spread over a larger area than in traditional headphones planar magnetic headphones are also much better at dissipating heat and can handle a huge amount of power without distorting. Overall this type of headphone features higher sensitivity can play louder with tighter control and reduced colouration and more controlled directivity. However, their design means they will suffer from more le.Care and Maintenance:① Please allow for a period of “burn in” where you allow playback of audio for a period of 150 hours to allow the headphones to reach their fullest audio potential.② Be aware the SUNDARA is relatively sensitive so please make sure to turn the volume dial low before connecting to an audio source.③ Please listen to the SUNDARA at moderate listening levels so that you can continue to enjoy their audio quality for years to come.④ The drivers do not require user maintenance, do not touch them.⑤ The SUNDARA needs a decent amp to drive it to its full potential. If the headphone cannot reach a proper level of volume, please check if your audio source is powerful enough to drive the headphones.Planar headphones benefit from break-in to achieve optimum performance. Usually this takes up to 150 hours however there is nothing special you need to do other than enjoy your headphones. Wipe the surfaces (ear pads, cups) with a microfiber cloth and store the headphone in a dry, cool and safe place (away from dust, heat, humidity, sunlight, younger kids and pets if possible). For the headband, wipe it periodically to remove any dust. Do not expose the headphone to excessive heat or cold. Do not use any headphone while driving or operating machinery. Do not use volatile substances alcohol, acetone, gasoline or dish detergent to clean the headphone.

Review: Für diesen Preis wirklich tolle Kopfhörer, ich habe sie dennoch retourniert. - Die Kopfhörer sind das Einstiegsmodell in Planarmagnetische Treiber und haben sich wirklich als Referenzmodell der Einstiegsmodelle der 'audiophilen' Kopfhörer etabliert. Ich kann verstehen, warum. Mein Modell war gut verarbeitet und klang schon aus der Box gut. Für jemanden, der gerne basslastige Musik hört, sind offene Kopfhörer vielleicht etwas fragwürdig. Leider ist der Bass nicht ganz so voluminös und geht nicht so tief wie bei geschlossenen Kopfhörern, selbst im günstigeren Bereich. Mitten sind dafür toll, und Instrumente sehr schön separiert. Man entdeckt manche Lieder wirklich neu, wenn man sie davor nur mit 'consumer' Kopfhörern a la Bose / Sony gehört hat. Ich habe die Kopfhörer an einem Fiio K7 betrieben, für meinen Geschmack waren sie aber auch schon an einem normalen Endgerät (MacBook / normales PC Motherboard) laut genug. Und nicht viel schlechter, aber doch deutlich undynamischer. Für mich waren sie leider unterm Strich nicht 'punchy' genug, und auch nicht laut genug im Tiefbassbereich. Ich höre gerne elektronische Musik (z.B. Skee Mask) aber auch ab und zu Metal (Lorna Shore, FFAA...) und brauche dafür einfach die Power untenrum. Ich liebäugle nun mit den Hifiman HE6se, welche leider nochmal in einer anderen Preisliga sind. Aber die Suche nach den perfekten Kopfhörern endet wohl nie. Was ich gerne noch erwähnen würde, ist dass es sehr angenehm war, die Kopfhörer zum Spielen zu verwenden. Insbesondere in Calls (Voicechat) mit Freunden während des Spielens waren sie sehr angenehm in der Benutzung, weil man stets die eigene Stimme noch ein bisschen mitgehört hat. Für meine nächsten Desktop-use Kopfhörer kommen daher nur noch open-back Kopfhörer in Frage.
Review: Hifiman Sundara for the budding Audiophile - What can I say but WOW! These cans really are a huge improvement over standard headphones and their drivers. I am particularly impressed with the frequency response which I believe is better than the Sennheiser HD800s series. You will not be disappointed with the Sundara even as an Audiophile or an amateur starting their budding collection. 10/10!

### ⭐ audio quality is really good, but quality control less
*by Y***S on 18 July 2024*

Hello, A bit disappointing about my headphones. Sound quality is very interesting, very neutral bass to mid. a little coloration on the treble but no a lot. Very accurate, sound separation and sound stage is so wide . At this level on price it's very good ! But mine was arrived with a problem that's not acceptable. the diaphragm was deform on the right side and dent so, it's not affect the audio, but was audible when wearing. a little plasticky noise when the music spot too. very weird and not sure if it survive more than a month so i prefer to return it. on the photo it's not the cloth protection who reflect, it's the driver. i test with a light to confirm. The left side was ok, no prob at all I order a second one to test, it's possible to have a problem before arrival, i hope that will be better next time. First time on hifiman product. i give you a second and a last chance to shine.
