The video is in Arabic.
Hey everyone,
This is my review of the HIFIMAN Sundara: an open-back planar headphone, 37 ohm. The headphone belongs to my brother Abdullah, God reward him.
Who is it for?
- Anyone who wants a balanced sound that works for every kind of music, Arabic and Western, and people who love movies and series.
Strengths
- I’ve never heard balance like this, and nothing in the mids sticks out over anything else.
- Resolution, clarity and separation are ten out of ten, and the detail is amazing.
- The treble is natural, sparkly and smooth, and it doesn’t tire your ears.
- Easy to drive: any dongle or DAC/amp gives it everything it needs.
Weaknesses
- The stage is smaller than you’d expect from an open back, especially in depth.
- Distance cues are weak, and layering is a bit weak.
- You have to use it somewhere quiet, because any noise around you gets in.
Verdict
Congrats to them on this tuning. It’s hard to beat on balance, and if the sound were a bit more distant, it would be unbeatable.
Note: this review is from 2022, so the price may have changed.
