Someone just made a post showing that they’re now $150 on amazon. For that price are they actually that bad? The name only goes against them because I know they sound nothing like sundaras. But with eq, are they really worse value than other $150 closed backs? K371?
Just recently got them at a discounted price. I also have the open Sundara and the LCD-X.
I took the closed ones over to my girlfriend’s place so I don’t bother her with open cans while she works and the closed ones are about the same as you would imagine CLOSED Sundara to sound. I haven’t heard anything better at this price. After a few hours of burn-in they don’t bother me at all.
I run them with either Fiio K7 or the Zen stack.
“after a few hours of burn-in”
Yes, that’s how it works. If you had 2 pairs of the same headphones or speakers you would know.
You know burn in is just bullshit right? It was a thing in the 70s when the material was way stiffer and needed time to reach its peak, now the “burn in” is done when the manufacturer tests the driver for QC.
2 pairs of the same headphone or speaker don’t ever sound exactly the same.
So you can tell a difference between two pairs of the exact headphones but not tell which is the new one?
