HiFiMAN SUNDARA Closed-Back Planar Headphones

The HiFiMAN SUNDARA Closed-Back is a wired planar magnetic headphone built for critical listening at home or in the studio. Its Stealth Magnet design reduces reflections and diffraction for cleaner sonic output. An 80% thinner NEO "supernano" diaphragm delivers fast response and detailed imaging. Hand-assembled beechwood ear cups provide acoustic benefits alongside a distinctive aesthetic.

Ideal for Studio Recording and Critical Listening

These headphones suit audiophiles and studio engineers who need accurate, detailed reproduction from a closed-back design. The detachable dual-sided 3.5mm cable with a 6.35mm adapter fits most professional and consumer sources. Buyers needing wireless connectivity or active noise cancellation should look elsewhere, as this is a purely passive wired model.

Stealth Magnet Planar Driver Technology

The acoustically invisible Stealth Magnet structure is the defining specification that separates this model from traditional planar designs. It significantly cuts unwanted reflections and diffraction that normally degrade sound quality. This results in dramatically improved sonic output across the frequency range. The advanced magnet geometry works with the ultra-thin diaphragm to resolve fine detail.

Questions about this item

What source connector do I need to plug the supplied 3.5 mm cable into?

The headphones come with a detachable dual-sided 3.5 mm cable and a 6.35 mm adapter, so you need a device with either a 3.5 mm or 6.35 mm headphone output.

Will my older amplifier with only a 6.35 mm jack drive these planar magnetic headphones adequately?

Yes, the included 6.35 mm adapter lets you connect directly to a 6.35 mm output, and the planar magnetic design works with standard headphone amplifiers.

How can I confirm the Stealth Magnet design is functioning correctly after I connect the headphones?

You should hear clean, detailed sound with reduced reflections; the 80 % thinner NEO supernano diaphragm delivers fast response and full-range sonics when driven properly.
