Looking at the personal audio product industry, HiFiMAN is one of the few brands that continue to invest in tablet headphones. Unlike the practice of friendly companies that habitually turn tablet headphones into high-end products, HiFiMAN will unceasingly delegate the technology after displaying new technologies on flagship products, so that people who love music can easily enjoy the advantages brought by the new technologies.

Recently, HiFiMAN's new flat-panel headset SUNDARA-C has made people feel the momentum of a "big sale" - this headset is not only equipped with invisible magnet technology and NEO ultra-nanodiaphragm originated from the flagship model Edition X, but also added a "wooden bowl" design that represents elegance and value in personal audio products. The "super-class" configuration can be purchased at mid-range prices, which makes people look forward to its performance.

Before sharing the sound performance of this "Tablet Roll King", we might as well learn about its appearance design and accessories. When you first see HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headphones, I believe everyone will be attracted by its "wooden bowl". According to official reports, the "wooden bowl" is made of beech . This wood is tight and heavier, with fine grains and straighter textures, and has fewer tissue and structural spots. From the "wooden bowl" made of beech wood, we may be able to speculate on what kind of sound style the HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headphones will have.

In order to take into account the sound effects and visual effects, the "wooden bowls" used by HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headphones are all exquisitely assembled by hand by craftsmen. We can see that the surface of the wooden bowl has been treated, with a delicate luster and no burrs. Even if you just display the headphones, it is a beautiful landscape.

In addition to the natural wood color of the "wooden bowl", the other parts of the HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headphones are mattely treated black, which can better highlight the texture of the "wooden bowl". In this low-key matte black, we can find a lot of design details that help improve the experience.

Due to the use of the "wooden bowl" design, the bare metal weight of the HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headphones has reached 432g. In order to avoid the illusion of a "cervical spine exerciser", the HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headset is equipped with a classic hybrid structure head beam. This two-stage structure can cleverly remove part of the pressure, so that you will not feel a significant sense of pressure on the top of your head after wearing it for a long time.

In addition to the mixed structural head beam, the HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headphones are also equipped with a scale with obvious step feel and a thick and soft ear cup. Thanks to such interlocking links, the fatigue feeling is not too obvious after wearing the HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headset for more than an hour. Even if you shake your head with HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headphones following the rhythm of music, you won’t feel tired easily. In terms of cables, the HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headset is a dual-output 3.5mm plug cable. Such wires are relatively common in today's mid-to-high-end headset . They are not only convenient for maintenance, but also users can change different wires according to their own experience, so that the sound effect of the earphones is more in line with their needs.

When it comes to sound effects, we have to talk about the invisible magnet technology and NEO ultra-nanodiaphragm equipped with the HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headset. Although the flat diaphragm unit can rely on its natural structural advantages to minimize the segmentation vibration of the diaphragm as much as possible, achieve a relatively flat frequency response curve, effectively reducing phase distortion, the unique structure of the flat diaphragm unit will also cause sound quality deterioration caused by sound passing through the magnet.

In order to give full play to the advantages of flat plate diaphragm units, HiFiMAN has developed invisible magnet technology. This technology adopts a special shape design. Compared with the rectangular magnets used in traditional flat headphones, the invisible magnet technology can greatly reduce the reflection and diffraction that is harmful to sound quality and greatly reduce the sound distortion rate with the optimization of the design. The NEO ultra-nanodiaphragm that

cooperates with it is composed of a conductor coating and a film with a thickness of nearly nanometers. Adding the two not only makes them more responsive, but they can also reveal richer sound details. The 6Hz-50kHz frequency response range of HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat panel headphones is a clear proof of the NEO ultra-nanodiaphragm.

That being said, considering that the sensitivity of the HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headset is only 98dB, this time, we will use MacBook Pro as the turntable and pair it with the GoldenWave Gordon SERENADE serenade as the main equipment to drive the headset. The GoldenWave SERENADE all-in-one machine with the volume knob at 7 o'clock in the silent state is twisted to the 10 o'clock position, the HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headphones can show satisfactory sound pressure performance. In this state, we can hear a more modern, atmospheric and clean slightly warm sound with a strong sense of speed. Such a sound performance was really unexpected.

From the perspective of product composition, the combination of "closed wooden bowl + flat plate" should generally focus more on showing soft and delicate sound details. Judging from the style evolution of HiFiMAN headset products, although this generation of products no longer pursues "smooth and sweet", they should also appear warmer and fuller than what HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headsets are expressed. The performance of HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headphones is not only very different from the inherent cognition, but also shows the sound performance of ear-grabbing, which is really surprising.

By listening to different types of music, we can further perceive the characteristics of HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headsets. First of all, in the instrumental album "SEDAR" of Qin Sifeng , we can feel that the HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headphones have a sound field performance that can be regarded as a first-line performance in closed headphones. Although the HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headphones have a clear marginal sense, their huge sound field scale and staggered sound positioning can make the rich instrumental composition present a lively and lively temperament.

Secondly, in the chorus of "Facial Shadow" by Sony three singers Aimer/milet/Lila Kitan, we can feel the solid sound density and the reason for "clean sound" - overtones is less. The advantage of the combination of these two is that we clearly perceive the form of musical instruments and singing. For example, bassline in "Face Shadow" will appear stronger because of these two characteristics, and its dynamic expression will make people sway their bodies gently. At the same time, the sound characteristics of Aimer and milet can be better presented because of these two characteristics. The only drawback is that some friends may think that such a sound is a little dry and lacks a little charm.

Finally, in the opening of orchestral of "Grand Band Edition" by Chen Baiyu, we can feel that the HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headphones have a relatively transparent high-frequency performance. Such high-frequency treatment will give the finishing touch when the popular music is used to orchestral music today.

Generally speaking, the sound style of HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat headphones will be more in line with the listening tastes of young people today. The dynamic and not cramped expression of the sound is solid and clear, which not only makes the "burning song" more ignited, but also makes the low chant more unforgettable. As long as you are willing to invest in the matching playback device, you can enjoy a distinct music world.

In the past, headphone manufacturers that would use wood on headphones were not only not large in number, but also used wood as an important means to increase product value. This makes even the headphones show a unique charm, it will discourage many people. The launch of HiFiMAN SUNDARA-C flat-panel headphones not only reflects the evolving quality of HiFiMAN attaches importance to the new consumer force, but also is a blessing for music fans and equipment enthusiasts. If you have long been thinking about the charm of wooden bowls or want to get a more modern sound, you can indeed buy this headset.
