Hifiman SUNDARA Closed-back over-ear headphones

Hifiman Sundara Closed headphones

The elegant appearance of the Hifiman Sundara Closed Back headphones is highlighted by handcrafted ear cups made of beech wood. The advantage of closed-back headphones is that they isolate music and the listening experience from external background noise. Closed-back headphones also emphasize the natural bass reproduction of the original recording. The ear cups designed by Hifiman engineers offer a twofold benefit: exceptionally good sound and a stylish appearance.

Compared to the rectangular magnets of traditional planar headphones, Hifiman's developed Stealth Magnet significantly reduces reflections and diffraction that degrade sound quality, which in turn considerably improves the sound quality of the headphones.

Like the open-back version of Sundara, the new closed-back Sundara Closed Back headphones also feature an extremely thin Super Nano diaphragm, which is up to 80% thinner than diaphragms typically used in headphones. The design results in a very wide frequency response (6Hz-50kHz) and sonic details that reveal the fine nuances of well-recorded music.

Dr. Fang Bian, the founder of Hifiman, explains the history of the name: Sundara is a Sanskrit term meaning 'beautiful' and 'noble', both of which accurately describe the new headphone model, both inside and out. Music lovers will enjoy the new Sundara Closed Back model as much, if not more, than the original open-back headphone model.
