500+ Head-Fier
According to Peter Hoagan of HifiMan, they hope to have the Sundara out in December. Source: https://www.innerfidelity.com/conte...fiman-sundara-open-planar-magnetic-headphones
don't even think about itCan anyone who's heard these compare them with the HE-500?
Why does a thinner diaphragm cause a 2/3's markup? Being the 560 is also the same price, now, does that mean that was the only difference between the 560 and the 400i?
I'm being horribly facetious, but I just do not understand their business model at all. It's great that they released an improved version that wasn't within a year of the original release, and it's on a mid sized headphone. But the price jump was quite a bit.
I know headphones all have different sound signatures, but what's the draw to this new $499 headphone when the 560 (which was hundreds more) is now that price as well?
If the build quality is the same as the prototype pair at RMAF it seems even worse. HiFiMan really needs to up the headband/cup design on these if they want to charge anything more than $250 imo. The sound was nice and an upgrade to the 400i, but I still like the 560 better.
pricing on theses are all based on hype, remember when 560 was release it was selling for like $900. When the shills and hypes die down the price will come down to $250ish

Please help me find a $250 HE560
400i sells for $250 which is what this is based on
I heard it at RMAF, totally different sound than HE400i. I would say the sound signature is closer to Susvara than HE560-HE400i

Can you elaborate? What seems even worse and why is the 560 better?
