Sundara
Sundara
A really good enty level model to the Hifiman lineup that doesn't break the bank: Sundara. Strongly recommended because of its balanced tonality, there is nothing to nitpick from bass to treble. If you are looking for an allrounder that punches way above its weight, look no further.

What reviewers are saying:
The HiFiMan Sundara is an excellent set of headphones. At a lower price point than more well-known high-end options, it’s punching way, way above its proverbial weight class.
The Sundara is a fabulous-sounding headphone for the money. The bass goes deep with lots of texture and a well-tempered presence. The mid-range is delicious and balanced, the treble is clean and fast. Also, it is a very unfatiguing listening experience, allowing for cranking up the volume.
In conclusion, the Hifiman Sundara comes highly recommended. It sounds quite good from moderate sources but when powered by a powerful amplifier it offers stunning performance.
At this price point, one can find headphones that are different from the Sundara, but one would be hard-pressed to find one that’s inarguably better. I have no problem wholeheartedly recommending the Hifiman Sundara to anyone who’s in the market for a smooth, laid-back, inviting headphone, who doesn’t need anything with a huge amount of bite. The Sundara does lovely things for a headphone of its price, and I think it’s something any audiophile should check out.

What does this mean?
The black line is something that could be called the „ideal“ curve of what a headphone should sound like. The Harman Research Group has a range of scientific studies around audio and the human perception of it - one of which was, how should a headphone sound like to be favored by a majority of people, no matter the age or other demographic variables? This result is called the Harman target.
From left to right we have the sub bass, bass, mids and then the curve finally tilts upward where the treble begins - this part of the frequency spectrum gets amplified naturally by the shape of the human ear.
As we can see, because of the open-back design, there is a slight dip in the bass area. To balance that, there is also a recess in the treble - the result is a very well balanced headphone, that can be described as a reference in its price range - similarly tuned headphones include the Sennheiser HD650 and HD660.
