After reading rave review on HIFIMAN RE800 Silver with good price, I placed an order and will compare it with Sundara.

If I do not find much improvement of HIFIMAN RE800 Silver over Sundara, then I will try Beyerdynamic T1 Gen 2 .
Best Headphone under 1k$?

I had enjoyed using SoundMAGIC E11C while out of town for 3 weeks on May.

But I also got HIFIMAN SUNDARA from Amazon 10 days ago to compare it with SoundMAGIC E11C .
Although I will keep SoundMAGIC E11C for travel, I enjoy the sound from HIFIMAN SUNDARA much better.
It sound open and balanced.
I use Chord Dave to drive it.
Now my question is whether there is any headphone under 1k$ which will sound significantly better than HIFIMAN SUNDARA.
I wish to get transparent and open sound out of it with just enough tight bass.
Of course, if it provides wide and deep soundstage, it will be better.
I do not wish to get bright sound.
Can anyone recommend best headphone under 1K$?
thanks in advance
Thomas

Do you mean Sennheiser HD 800s? I have the HD 800 (not the "s" model) and Hifiman HE 560. I have not heard the Sundara, but if it has the Hifiman "house" sound, it's a very different animal than the HD 800. The HD 800 is a very revealing headphone and some consider it "bright" (I don't). From what I've read, the HD 800s tones things down a bit. The Hifiman is a much "warmer" sound. Saying anything is the "best" is always subjective, but for under $1K my recommendation would be the Focal Elex from drop.com. https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-focal-elex-headphones |
