Hifiman is one of the founders of the planar magnetic headphones. Working from New York and producing in China, this relatively young company (since 2005) makes a range of magneto and electrostatic headphones. By making the foil 80% thinner than previous types, the Sundara sounds much faster and more open. The headphones themselves are also much lighter and therefore much more comfortable on your head. Less warm and heavy. A real magnetostat is unique in this price range. The matte aluminum finish is sleek, timeless and can withstand a beating.
