The Sundara Closed-Back headphone is highlighted by elegant, hand-assembled beechwood ear cups that serve to isolate the listener from background noise and emphasize the natural bass response of the original recording. Designed by HiFiMAN engineers, the ear cups offer the dual benefits of exceptional sonics and stylishly good looks.
A recent HiFiMAN creation, Stealth Magnet technology is an integral part of the headphone’s sonic output by significantly reducing reflections and diffractions that are detrimental to sound quality. Similar to the Open-Back version, the new Sundara Closed-Back features the company’s ultra-thin Super Nano diaphragm, which is up to 80% thinner than diaphragms more commonly found in headphones. The design results in an ultra wide frequency response -- 6Hz-50kHz -- with sonic detail that reveals the fine points in well-recorded music.
"Sundara is a Sanskrit term meaning ‘beautiful’ and ‘noble,’ both of which are accurate descriptions of the new headphone design, inside and out. Music lovers will enjoy the new Sundara Closed-Back as much if not more than the original open-back model."

I wasn't sure what to expect with the reviews that i read before my purchase. I knew what i was looking for and didn't want to spend a ton of cash. I was looking for a nice natural hi end even mids not to harsh but i needed great lows. I am using these to use with my band live and in the studio, They need to have a full sound, I am a drummer and i don't want that feeling of disconnect. They will also be used in my home environment too. I am using an Fosi Audio N2 headphone amp, Let me start by saying JUST FANTASTIC. I am so please with this purchase, I do own many pairs of headphones and these are superb, and of course very stylish too. Very Happy
Some have talked about the shortcomings of these cans but, I've been enjoying, the low frequency response Vs. The open sundara, the only issue was the cable which I've replaced with a custom hart audio balanced,which has proved to be a sonic improvement.
