A few years ago, everyone praised HifiMan Edition XS for their sound, but they cost 500GBP, so I bought Sundara for 180GBP instead. Now XS cost 180GBP, so I had to buy them.
Strangely I prefer Sundara headband. And not only me, as there are even mods that let you glue your own. Otherwise, they do start to put pressure on my crown. They weight 415g, not that far away from Shure Aonic 50 at 330g, that extra 85g makes a difference.
How do they sound, though? Like Sundara, I’d say. The positioning is better, not necessarily due to drivers, but more due to their shape. And maybe the separation is clearer too, but you really need to look for it.
