HiFiMan Sundara Planar Magnetic Over Ear Headphones
The Sundara uses a planar magnetic driver, which spreads sound linearly across the diaphragm to reduce distortion. The Supernano diaphragm is 80% thinner than previous HiFiMan designs, making it lighter and faster to respond to changes in tempo and fine musical detail.
- Supernano diaphragm delivers wider frequency response and greater detail
- Weight-spreading hybrid strap headband for comfort during long listening sessions
- 3.5 mm headphone connector for enhanced durability
- Matte black finish with a sleek, modern look
The lighter diaphragm also improves high-frequency detail and overall nuance, producing a more lifelike sound than conventional dynamic headphone designs.

Who it suits

Our tech experts advise
At 37 ohm impedance and 94 dB sensitivity, the Sundara works with most headphone amplifiers and portable DAC/amp units. A dedicated headphone amplifier will get the most from the planar driver. The 3.5 mm plug is compatible with most sources, though an adaptor is needed for balanced outputs. Browse the full HiFiMan range to compare models.
