These are very nice for the money, running via lightning dongle into 3.5 mm straight out of iPhone sounds very nice, most likely will purchase dongle dac amp combo sooner or later but for my purposes now this is quite satisfactory.

Ordered my Argons about 2 years ago; it was January and I figured they would be worth the wait, according to the reviews. On the order form/website, I wrote: "could you boost the mid range and sub bass, if possible" before hitting submit. My Argons came back in April and were the closed back kings of my collection, battling for my auditory affection with my DT880s (250ohm) and my Fidelio X3s. The X3s have great staging and reach really low on bass (with a pad swap; all my headphones have either sheepskin or microsuede pads, except for the Sundara closed, more on that in a bit) while the 880s have a better treble response. I have 15 pairs of over ears (now) and what genre I was about to listen to, until now, dictated what headphone I reached for. I told myself I wasn't buying any more headphones after I bought the Shure 1440s (an impulse purchase after a gift card came my way, also great cans, very bright but detail retrieval is 2nd to none, easily the best gaming headphone I have ever heard, if you want to know exactly where the footsteps are coming from in Duty, get em) but I saw these hit $229 and went to check out the reviews which...weren't good. The Youtubers were thrashing these headphones, which was really surprising to me. I have the 400SEs and they are a great value (also bright, no good for gaming imo). I saw the word "honky" used to describe them several times and wasn't quite sure what people meant as it just isn't a way i would describe any of the headsets i own. I looked at a headphone blog where users/owners of the headphone left reviews and they were all glowing; everyone talked about this incredible mid range...so i took the plunge, I am a (former basshead turned) midrange junkie, after all. So i get where the term 'honky" comes from, when you first put these on they do lend a kind of nasal quality to some vocals. The Treble is also different from any other headphone I own; its not bright per se but certain instruments would pierce if i really pushed the headphone...with the stock pads on. 1st nitpick: Hifiman changed the pad mounting system on these (different from the 400SEs) and there aren't any mounting brackets for these, even direct from Hifiman) so in order to change them, I had to destroy to stock pads (glued on) to replace them with some of the many pads I own. I landed on a pair of Protein Leather Audeze replacement pads (not sure why i have these) and maaaaaannnn, adds a little sheen to the treble while smoothing out that honky in the vocals. And the bass...the bass... i don't have the words for it really, faster than all the headphones I own, reaches allll the way down without any resonance or distortion and gives you rumble where it should be. The true star of the show, though, is the incredible mid range. Stage is more wide than deep, and not as good at the 880 or 400SE (how could they be?) but very convincing to me. Every background vocal, every instrument is present and uncluttered, I mean, the only thing that comes close are my 660s but they are missing the sheen (by design, a little less treble in the tuning imo) and width. The mids are so prominent that if I wear these for a few hours and then try to switch to another headphone the mids feel like they are scooped out of the 2nd pair of cans. The bass has also completely spoiled me; my other open backs (except the X3s, but they are much darker up top) sound anemic next to them and the resonance is clearly there on my other closed backs. I end up getting through half a track before putting the Sundara closed back on. I remember when LeBron was half way through his career and people talking that "better than Mike" crap (not crap anymore, sorry Mike) and it quickly split basketball fans into two camps, you either thought MJ was the best ever or LeBron, and people were dissing the other guy just because. I think that is what happened here; if the OG Sundara is the MJ of Mid Fi, then naming another headphone after it is asking the public to color their opinion of the cans before they even put them on. These headphones are simply put, fantastic. Music sound like music when they are on my head. Male and Female vocal are equally fantastic and detail retrieval is just insane. This should have been a stand alone product, period. Another nitpick, and this one is a little more relevant than the others, is the clamping force. Almost unbearable out of the box (my head aint that big). I prefer micorsuede pads (Dekoni) to any other pad material but the pressure on my head with them on I just couldn't take. Me thinks if the pleather strap was adjustable this wouldn't be an issue (like the 99 Classics). I have had them for about 3 weeks and it has cooled a bit but is still pretty tight. I would recommend amplification with these even with the lower impedance, dynamics just aren't the same without the amp. They are also a little heavy, too. Sound great through an Atom but I love them on the Asgard 3. I only have 2 pair of headphones that are more than $400; the 177x Go and the 660s; the Sundara Closed crush (yes, crush) both of those cans, regardless of genre. If you want more treble and bass out of your 660s, buy these. If you want Planars you can use at the Library, buy these. If you have $500 and want a good portable and home setup, buy these and a THX Onyx (have that too, lots of power for a dongle). For all my Mid Fi peeps out there, these are a steal at $229. A great, and very unique sound signature that may not be for everyone, but I can't take them off.

Most closed backs are dynamic headphones. This allows them to stay on the dark side with deep base. They roll off the highs and increase the base. There are cheap and expensive dynamic closed back headphones all over. Too many to even count. You don't see many planar closed back headphones and you don't see many inexpensive planars open or closed. It is very challenging to design planar drivers to work in a closed back. The Sundara did an excellent job especially at this stupid low price of $149. They are a very mids signature sound. Nice medium size soundstage, punchy lower and mid base. Kicks, snares, toms and other percussion is where these really shine. They are articulate with accurate separation. The highs are not rolled off and I did not notice any Sibilance/hiss using quality recordings. A high hat and cymbals sound like they should. Vocals are where most headphones struggle as they are so diverse. These were as good as anything even remotely close to this price range. I would not recommend these for a total basehead or those who listen to mostly Rap etc with tons of synthetic sub base. Probably not the best fit for heavy metal with massive instrument and vocals distortion. I EQ all headphones regardless of price and once a little EQ is added to these with a couple of days of burn in these really sound great. Thus you get the deeper base and keep the beautiful mids. I listen to all lossless recordings. It cracks me up these guys who play some poor production from some 1970's rock band in 128kbps quality then say they don't like some headphones. At least leave what equipment you used, specific recordings and recording quality/source as well as what headphones in that price range they loved when they leave negative feedback. The Sundara closed are quite comfortable with a good suspended headband and soft cushion cups that seal well. The softness just absorbs hair or glasses and keeps a solid seal. A person next to you would not hear anything unless you are blowing your ears out. The round shape and size leave a wide variety of 3rd party cups available. The construction is great for sitting in a room and listening to headphones. They are not for dropping them, forgetting you have them on and walking away, traveling all around with them or letting the kids/dog play with them type build. Basically fine for people who respect their gear and have a controlled environment. These are NOT a $1000 open back planar. As a total package these absolutely blow the doors off headphones like AKG 361/371 the DT770 pro's or anything else in the $149 price range as I have many of them. You have to buy closed headphones in the $500 range to compete. Outstanding buy
