Around 3 Minutes when that snare is popping on the bluesy track, its absolute night and day how much better the Anada is. The snare sounds so much more realistic and there is much more space in the music. Insane difference.
About 15Hz more bass on the Ananda, cleaner, more articulate mid-bass, midrange and more expansive imaging on the Sudana. It depends on priorities and the music you listen to.
I wanted to buy Sundara but after listening to this I like Ananda better. It sounds fuller with great bass. Sundara is little thin in comparison
@M de Boer Susvara is ten times the cost of Ananda whereas Ananda is only twice the cost of Sundara. Someone saving up for Sundara can stretch their budget to Ananda but stretching it till Susvara is too much.
@M de Boer You're quite simple minded if you think the ability of doing basic math should be considered smart
The sub bass is deeper on the Ananda than on the Sundara. But for $ 1k, is it worth it?!?
This represents, what, 10% more in terms of sound for 3x the price. For me, it's not worth it.
Moreover, having tried them both, the shape of the Sundara is more comfortable on the ear. The Sundara is a much better buy and allows you to put more money on a source that will make more difference and let more money for better encodings.
The Sundara should be the # 1 recommended headphones for everyone!
Ananda has wayy better bass response and sounds much fuller. Vocals significantly better on Ananda as well.
Thank you so much for the demo, clearly the bass impact is very nice on Ananda. When you review the Ananda please try to draw some comparisons with Edition X V2 if possible. I am planning for an upgrade from HE560 and eyeing Ananda & Edition X V2
Balaji Ramachari i upgraded from the he560, ananda has bigger soundstage, better mids but less bass impact than the edition x2 and also slightly brighter highs but still a rolled off treble. As for the he560 and ananda its just totally worth the upgrade in everyway.
Thank you for this video - I really like this type of video where it get straight to the point and cut the none sense what they heard or think and last is the sale pitch BS.
@samma3a can you please do more of these demos with other headphones
Ananda for sure,, but i'll pick sundara based on my budget haha
It's amazing how they both sound just like the headphones in wearing, lol 😉🤣😁
I'm all seriousness, if go for the Ananda.
i wonder if it's possible to even capture and listen the difference knowing most will ear it with non planar headphones ?
listening with my Ananda so "doubleananda" sound way better!
Middle and neutral sound -Sundara,stage and lows -Ananda
what you mean by middle?
Yep - absolutely no question - Fiio make a killer IEM ;)
I was gonna buy the Sundara to save some money, but the stimulus check came through which meant I could afford the Ananda. Hopefully in a year or two I can save up enough for an Arya.
Sundara sounds really good for the price! 350$ is a steal.
both sound awesome on my Fostex T50RP ;-)
Cause t50rp sounds awesome!
My Ananda arrives tomorrow and this video has me so hyped for the upgrade
Dude mine too!
Great concept for a video. In this comparison, at least hearing through my HD560S, the Ananda sound considerably better. I nearly had an aneurysm when I saw the price tag, though.
which of the 2 headphones sounds best with hard metal rock?
it would be nice if you could put the song name playing too
I don't know how well the seal was with this comparison but relatively Sundara has a bit scooped mids and no sub bass compared to Ananda but i feel like Sundara seal wasn't good. Ananda opens up the Sundara and gives a nice sub bass. I don't know is it fair to judge from a demo but Ananda timbre, tonality seems more correct. Sundara slam is nice but doesn't have depth and air of sub bass.
that bass on the Ananda tho...
Seperation and soundstage is better on sundara
Ananda have a better bass and better highs
I prefer wide headphone for sure
Sounds like the Ananda has better treble and bass extension, which to me, gives it a soundstage. In comparison, the Sundara sounds like you are listening through the end of a tube. The bass on the Ananda though, seems to bloom a little bit more than what is probably realistic. I think it loses a little control in that area. My first thought was, I wonder if I can EQ a slight V into the Sundara to get a superior sound to either one of them.
Ok, after I wrote that I realized I had just listened on a pair of modded fostex that I know have issues with bass. Switched over to some very neutral higher end speakers, and I'll say I have the same opinion, except for the loss of control on the bass. that loss of control was totally on my end.
Nice comparison. I was disappointed when certain details fell away on the Sundara, such as on the drum track at 3:45
Is a track list available for this? Nice songs
sub bass is actually audible on the ananda. reason I returned my sundara, the bass is so underwhelming.
Hi lol 1y later but i'm about to buy the Ananda for the exact same reason, i absolutly love the Sundara just always wished it has more sub bass as i mainly listen to rap songs. So if you still there can you confirm me that Ananda has more sub bass ? I'm not bass head though just wish to find a better Sundara with a bit more low end bass. Hope i'll find this with the Ananda maybe :)
Wonderful! Ananda is so much better. Can you please do a similar sound demo for he400se, deva pro and edition xs with same music. Thank you.
what is the name of the second track? Please 🙏
The Sundara has a slightly muted sound with a minute amount of veiling across the spectrum when compared to the Ananda. This is about the only thing you can discern from this comparison.
And that's entirely the point of these comparisons.... To notice RELATIVE differences, not an attempt to portray the ACTUAL sound signatures
@@samma3afans exactly
Ananda is better in my opinion.
Yippie at double the price I'd hope so.
and double the bass :)
Yeah at least from this comparison, you start to loose out on micro details with the Sundara, and the Ananda seems to sound a bit more dynamic and has a bit more elevated lower midrange and bass in comparison. I think either one would be a good headphone in the price category
@Dex4Sure I can hear a difference. If you can't then that's your problem not mine.
Are you going to review the Ananda?
yup
Ananda has a more vibrant instrument sound. The sound of sundara is anemic in comparison. Most likely due to the low frequency range.
Different songs sounds different, I suspect volume-matching was remade with each song.
First song: Sundara seems having more bass punch and more treble. Other songs: Ananda actually has more bass.
What obvious is treble roughness
in Sundara, and mids suckout (4:00)
Volume matching is done only prior to recording the music using a 1kHz test tone, after which all songs are recorded. So, the only editing that's done after the recording is to apply an EQ curve to compensate for the FR curve of the recording equipment.
whats the song from 1.14 to 1.55
When doing comparisons like this the neural headphone tends to sound boring in comparison. That said, the Ananda isn’t too far from neutral but I think is the better tuned one here
Listening on Sundara. Think I'll put off the upgrade or look into something else. The fuller Ananda moves away from the direction I want to take my system.
There will be an Ananda vs Edition X v2 vid in about a week or 2, so keep an eye out for that :-)
Yeah same for me. I was having second thoughts but this helped show me I made the right decision. The Ananda is not $500 better. I bought the Sundara specifically for a more micro detail oriented, neutral sound sig, which the Ananda gets away from with its admittedly beautiful, full bodied sound.
the difference is basically, the ananda has more bass. :P
sub bass of ananda doesn't roll off as much and is tighter. less sibilant and larger soudstage than sundara
For anyone looking for the 2nd song (like myself) 00:01:13 - Heart Break by Daniele Matracia - czcams.com/video/tcOhFwcdNog/video.html
equally
Ananda ftw.
To me the bass seems further away and gets slightly further away as the frequency drops. There may be less bass overall but the Sundara's have more detail. Personally in this example I'd take the Sundara's.
I'm listening to this with a set of Deva's with the bluemini, eq'd to
Oratory1990's Harman curve for the Deva's and the bluemini. A lower tier setup perhaps but, the tires were balanced with the wheels mounted on the car.
Thanks for posting this, if you ever get a chance to compare the Sundara's to the Arya's, I'd love to hear it. I'm hoping to hangup the Deva's for a set of Arya's.
thanks for the demo but. everything sounds so midrangy
Surely ananda XD the price is different too
ananda 纵向声场大一点，定位准一点。sundara 中频自然一点，一个档次的。
ananda sound much better in these demo. what are the songs ?
Ananda clearly got less distortion...Comparison does make everything visible
What do u mean by distortion??? It just bad sample and more treble on the sundara. Btw in real life the sundara sounds much much different. Ananda propably too but i dont have it.
Sundara sounds better to me. Smoother, and more clarity
your kidding right?
The Ananda make the Sundara sound annoyingly bright.
Ananda blows Sundara out the water.
Please do Ananda VS Arya.
Nice comparison. Don't like either one. Don't like the "Hifiman" sound which to me seems like it's trying to impress at the expense of the natural sound of the instruments. But that's just me. Some people just want to be bowled over.
Ananda more laid back
350$ god
TBH, the comparison is between a 350$ headphone and a 700$ headphone, not particularly a unilateral benchmark
If cost was a reliable indicator of performance/quality, I'd totally agree with you.
You make a point regarding the skewed price-point comparison benchmark. But I also think this comparison is quite valuable in giving a rough idea, as there are many Sundara users out there considering the jump further up Hifiman's line-up to Ananda (a formidable headphone at their price level)!!
lmao listening to this through your own headphones and thinking you can make an accurate comparison..
Are you saying you can't hear the differences? Of course each headphone is going to sound different, but that just emphasizes the true differences in these headphones.
@@sherm137 Good job, you've understood the point! :-)
Sundara sounds better
1st of all i wouldn't use such rubbish music for comparison
hows this even remotely valid lol. being recorded then compressed into youtube and coming out of competely different speakers. smh
