I have them. People say these are dogshit but I’m not sure where they’re coming from. Though I’m probably not qualified to talk about sound as I struggle to pickout the differences betwren all my various gear unless they are extremely obvious.
But anyway, my thoughts. They are fine. For $150, they’re not bad. I have found no problem with the sound. Nothing stood out to me as bad whilst listening to it. Bass is fast, and phonk songs like DVRST are enjoyable on it to me. I run it off my Topping DX1 fine on low gain.
My previous headphones were some coolermaster mh752 and the he400se, and whilst I don’t have those anymore. I’d say the sundara closed is at least better than both of them imo.
Comparing it to IEMs, I have tried the Moondrop Aria, which I personally hated due to how bright it was to me for some reason and how it doesn’t fit my ear properly. I have also tried the Truthear Zeros and EPZ K5s, and I vastly prefer the Sundara Closed over them (which I would hope so considering these IEMs are cheaper anyway)
I have not tried the original sundara but that’s probably why many were disappointed by the closed. For 150, they’re not bad and aesthetically speaking they’re quite nice.
