Pretty sure they are different, and the newer pads are different from the older sundara pads as well

donjklassen · February 10, 2020, 10:01pm

Yeah looking again they’re similar but different… perforated vs not

I was just about to share this heh. More bass extension, more bass/kick slam, treble peaks are gone, and the angled pads also compensate for the lack of swivel?

Well, shit. Lol.

Yeah the sundara sounds more and more appealing all the time

Both Joshua and “Resolve” saying that’s the best “all-around” you can get in hi-fi for cheap, basically.

Bites fist

Lol…sorry I guess?

Antpage2 · February 15, 2020, 4:11pm

damn i wanna buy these again since its been revised, but how do you know youre getting the revision?

donjklassen · February 15, 2020, 4:40pm

They’re on my short short list as well… just a tad worried about the highs

M0N · February 15, 2020, 4:44pm

I personally wouldn’t be worried about it, but if you don’t like treble whatsoever then perhaps it isn’t the best choice lol

donjklassen · February 15, 2020, 4:46pm

I think the x00 and 770 have me on high alert for treble atm lol… I’m sure itll be fine

M0N · February 15, 2020, 4:48pm

Ah the sundara has smoother treble than both, but it still is a brighter signature

donjklassen · February 15, 2020, 4:56pm

I’m trying to find my line and hoping the sundara is just right … I’m getting ahead of myself though… nighthawks are coming

M0N · February 15, 2020, 4:58pm

Curious to see what you think of those lol

donjklassen · February 15, 2020, 5:00pm

I’ll let you know 150 hrs after I get them lol

The silent revision is making me want to buy the Sundara for a 2nd time. My first pair the headband strap and right gimbal snapped. But they sounded good then…so if they are better now… hmmmm?

Antpage2 · February 15, 2020, 6:04pm

I remember upgrading from the hd600 well you can imagine, my eyes popped out of my head. then later i upgraded from those to the Avia’s. and again eye pop. since then ive been chasing that high /sigh

Hazi59 · February 15, 2020, 6:06pm

I actually like the ananda more than the sundara…but the price difference is too much considering how similar they are.

Antpage2 · February 15, 2020, 6:13pm

yeah the ananda looks great. and the presentation is awesome. that big driver. but the treble is so high on it and the midrange so recessed i really didnt like it. Thats why i want the Arya.

Hazi59 · February 15, 2020, 6:27pm

Ananda has the same frequency response as Sundara, but better bass and the treble is more even. The Arya on the other hand is treble murder.
