About HifiMan
HiFiMAN was founded in 2007 by Dr. Fang Bian and did more than any other company to bring planar magnetic headphones to the wider world — from the value-defining Sundara to flagship references like the Susvara that sit among the finest headphones ever made. Planar drivers trade sensitivity for extraordinary detail and bass control, and HiFiMAN's relentless iteration keeps lowering their price of entry.
HiFiMAN range at a glance
- Sundara: over-ear planar headphones with a hybrid headband.

Which HiFiMAN should I choose?
Choose the open-back Edition XS for a spacious sound in a quiet room, or the Sundara Closed Back if you want less sound leaking in and out. The standard Sundara with its hybrid headband completes the range. Planar headphones benefit from a good source, so consider one of our DACs and headphone amplifiers, or browse all headphones.
