HiFiMAN SUNDARA Headphones

The closed-back version provides significantly better passive noise isolation, making them suitable for office or travel use. While they retain the signature planar magnetic detail, the closed design creates a more intimate soundstage compared to the open-back model's airy, expansive presentation.

With an impedance of 20 ohms and 98dB sensitivity, these headphones are relatively easy to drive compared to many planar models. While they can reach sufficient volume from a phone or laptop, a dedicated DAC/amp will provide better control and dynamics to fully realize the driver's potential.

The Sundara Closed-Back features an ergonomic hybrid headband that distributes weight effectively across the head. While the beechwood earcups add a bit of heft at 432g, the plush padding and adjustable design are engineered to minimize pressure during extended use.

Yes, the headphones use standard dual 3.5mm connectors at the earcups. This makes it easy to swap the included cable for a balanced cable or a custom length that better suits your setup.

Stealth Magnet technology is designed to allow sound waves to pass through the magnets without generating interference. This results in a cleaner, more transparent sound with lower distortion and improved imaging across the 6Hz-50kHz frequency range.
