Hi Fi Man Headphones comparisons and owner comments

I am a HUGE fan of the HiFiMan sound!! I started with the HE400i,then moved to the Sundara..I have to disagree with the above poster in that I found the 400i to have a less defined bass & less of an organic sounding midrange..IMO the Sundara is perhaps one of the greatest bargins of any headphone & an ABSOLUTE benchmark for tonal nuetrality in the $500.00 & under price range..
 Spending more on the EXS or ASM depends on your amplifier..If you don't have a REALLY good amp/source to drive them,you would be better off with the Sundara & an upgraded amplifier than much better headphones driven by inferior electronics...
 

Just because an amp will drive a set of can doesn't mean it will bring out the best in an expensive pair..A $200.00 stereo receiver will drive my custom updated,3 way tower speakers but I am 100% sure it will sound like crap!
