Yeah but who can afford those =P
Donāt forget the gold-diamond-version-things 
(kidding, I know itās just eye candy)
Gotcha gotcha, well I will say that I enjoy the fact that they are planar since it does sound different. But I will also say that I would enjoy it the same if it was dynamic lol. To my ears, I donāt necessarily see the micro detail or more importantly I donāt care about it lol. The nice thing about the sundara being planar I would say is that they sound very light footed possibly due to the speed

yeah i mean with Elex i most certainly dont need them but i do want them. Although, in this case id really like to demo them somehow before buying to see if its different enough for me to say its worth owning.

Fair enough, based on what Shane and fbizzle have mentioned to me about the elex. I canāt Imagine wanting to have one if I had another one. Altho they seem pretty different in some aspect they seem pretty similar in many others from what Iāve heard. I guess like you tho I canāt say until I hear them for sure

If you were to A-B the two side by side, you would find that they sound quite different. I said the two were similar, but only compared to the rest of my collection, which is Gradoās, two closed backs and a pair of electrostatic headphones.
I think they are a Great compliment to each other.

I just got the Ananda about a week ago and though it is better than the Sundara I was surprised just how technically close the Sundara is to them. Iām still glad I got the Ananda because it is a great headphone but the Sundara are a fantastic headphone for the price, well so is the Ananda since itās down to $700 from $1000.

Figured I would drop this in the actual forums for the sundara. I wanted to ask those who have this headphone what the comparisons were between the Sundara and other headphones like Ananda, Edition XX Massdrop, Andover Pm-50s, and Verum 1s. Bought Sundara recently and absolutely fell in love but have some issues with comfort(my ears are to big lol). Figured I would reach out see what others think and feel on these others in comparison. As I see it for the price point Sundara are absolutely fantastic but I feel unfortunately I may need to look further down the price line or to side grades.

maybe a beyerdynamic? iāve tried the 770 and 990 and they are both phenominal. and some people really like the 880 here and consider it to punch above itās weight. it could be worth looking since sound sig wise it should be more or less similiar
lol I actually use the 990 premium 600 ohm now I definitely agree they are absolutely incredible. Going to audition the 880s either tuesday or wednesday actually as I was just generally curious but also curious about that tygr 300 r as well as from what i have read its like the 880 but less treble and smoother mids. Sundara just literally feel like they are in a class on their own especially in their price bracket right now so I am hard pressed to find a better one. I am seriously tempted to just say suck it up and keep them and ignore the discomfort as I will probably get used to itā¦ also read I can change the pads to an oval I have another post up where someone was willing to let me know later how it worked with the particular pads.

oh nice lol. well hmmmmmmm, itās hard to say lol. i got the sundara recently myself and they are really amazing. the only other headphone that i have that competes with it in technicalities and enjoyment is the carbon nighthawks. those are AMAZING but itās the complete opposite sound sig lol so itās not a sundara replacement sadly. sad to hear the earpad situation. like u said tho, itās possible that it might get better for u, almost like getting used to it hopefully. I have a normal looking left ear but i admit that i have a fit problem with the sundara and my left ear, kind of bugs me sometimes but iāve kind of learned to live with it

It literally is just I have really large earsā¦ I have to typically stick to larger ear pads due to itā¦ however the dt 990 fit perfectly. I only got the Sundara because I wanted a more All-Rounder so to speak and these definitely performed and exceeded my expectation even over my 58x. Thinking maybe the 880 MIGHT come close? but seriously going to not get my hopes up haha

Let us know what you think of the 880.

Yeah, iād be happy to post my opinion in comparison. I like the price bracket for sundara I donāt feel theres really any out there that can compete here other than spending more money. Less I am missing something.

The dt880 is flatter in the bass region and brighter in the treble regionā¦ itās a very nice headphone though and even outclasses the sundara in some ways
I havenāt heard anandas but what I think the consensus is is that itās ābetterā but not to the amount price would suggestā¦ your ears should definitely fit in those cups which could make them worthwhile for you
Not gonna lieā¦ pretty mad now at these. Second Sundara, second break, sending back. Going to look for alternativesā¦ Love the sound. donāt like worrying about when they will up and break on me. Made a seperate post a couple days ago asking for comparisons and side gradesā¦ hopefully I will find a alternative.
