HiFiMAN Sundara – Planar Magnetic Open‑Back Headphones
The HiFiMAN Sundara is a celebrated open‑back planar magnetic headphone offering exceptional clarity and detail for audiophiles at a mid-range price. Its lightweight build and responsive Stealth Magnet drivers deliver an immersive, natural soundstage ideal for critical listening and enjoying diverse music genres.
Boasting a well-balanced sonic signature, Sundara features a neutral midrange with a slight lift in upper mids and clear, detailed highs. It scales remarkably well—with deeper bass and improved driver control—when paired with quality amplification.
Sundara offers crisp mids with a touch of brightness, engaging and energetic without harshness. While it performs well from smartphones or modest amps, a balanced or powerful amplifier unlocks stronger bass impact and control.
