    Sundara pads are mounted incorrectly. The seam should be at the bottom, near the connectors.

    Interesting to hear your take on the Sundara vs 6XX. Everyone seems to rank the Sundara above 6XX under all circumstances, for everyone, even factoring in the price difference. I have the 6XX and really enjoy it as an all-arounder, but the Sundara really has me curious to whether it'd be worth the price increase.

    • @exol511
      @exol511 4 роки тому

      brian l. Sundara is not a upgrade for 6xx, its more of a side grade and is a different beast. If you want a real upgrade to imaging and detail (tho not in the timbre, as the HD6x0 series excels there) you will want to go higher in the price ranges like the Elex.

    People are glossing over the efficiency and portability of the LCD-1.
    I don't think it's entirely fair of reviewers to put them in the same price class as cans that require an amp investment to sound good. From a budget audiophile perspective these are an excellent and highly unique option, and you can listen to them anywhere that's quiet....any room of your house. They sound better than any headphone I've tried under the price so they represent their investment well.

    the LCD-1's frequency response would seriously give me hives after long enough with it. I mean, it's really not flat at all, not sure how your supposed to put up with such dramatic recesses in the highs. and yet Metal 751 says claims it doesn't need EQing? you good?

    Sundara everyday .for fun
    Hd600 everyday for vocals .
    I got both the hd600 and sundara.
    And while the hd600 has the most pleasing sound and tonal balance.
    The sundara are more fun .
    The sundara is faster. And snapy.
    More than the hd 600. Although when I want vocals and relax the hd 600 is a no Brainer
    What is good about them ,is alternating between the two .
    It always feels refreshing to listen to the sundara after a good while with the hd600.

      @@davidmason8212 yes pretty significantly, because I am "allergic" to muddier/slower bass response, for example the unmodded hd6xx/650 or Hifiman HE-500. I cant stand it.
      Also the HD500 has some very little grain in the mids, which you only notice in direct comparisons to the he-6, also the he-500 is a bit heavier in weight.

    Anyone buying Sundara should know that you will be spending way more money than just the base headphone price which is normally about 350 dollars. You will definitely replace the pads in few months because they will simply fall off from the headphone... So expect to spend 40 to 70 dollars on better 3rd party earpads... Also Hifiman stock cable often breaks over time so expect to replace it with 3rd party cable 20-30 dollars more. With LCD-1 you're getting good real leather pads and good quality stock cable... Having owned Hifiman headphones in the past, I'd always go LCD-1 between these 2 options.
