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."

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.
