Pros
- +Great for instrumental music
- +Violin hits different
- +Great for eq
- +Excellent value (refurbished)
Cons
- โReplaced in the mindshare by many other headphones
- โToo relaxed tuning for gaming
- โSounds flatter in game
- โGunshots lack punch in game
โThere's no way the Sundara has been recommended so much it's top 5 in 2026. It's so hard to believe that just because it's been replaced in the mindshare by so many other headphones for years now.โ
