“These Japanese cans deliver an unbelievably close sound. If you have ever listened to, thought about or searched for loudspeakers offering a “here and now” sound, these headphones will be the equivalent of finding tha ultimate solution – you are “there” when the sound is created. For a moment, you might feel like there is too much going on, like that’s an exaggeration – not only compared to the HE-1000 v2, but also to the Edition X v2, let alone the Sennheiser HD800. Wait a moment though, listen to some records, let yourself get used to this sound in your head, and you will realize that it is something completely new, fresh and unique.”

“With a recording with natural imaging like Ry Cooder’s A Meeting by the River album, Sundara brought me into the session. I was with the band, more so than I heard from HiFiMan’s HE-400i headphones. Sundara is a higher-resolution device, yet there’s no sense of exaggerated detail or presence. The HE-400i is no slouch, but it sounds unfocused and opaque after you get used to Sundara’s sound.”

“The VOCE is a bit more even in its coloration and some will hear it as slightly softer and more laid back with its treble response. I find the treble to be a bit more natural sounding though with slightly less air and sparkle than the 007 MK2. The 007 treble though might sound peakier, sharper and not as natural sounding though it does extend very well indeed.”

“Diana doesn’t sound much like its bigger brother AB-1266 headphone. That one demonstrates what a talented headphone designer can accomplish when the compromises of size, weight and cost are put aside to achieve greatness. If you want the absolute best sounding headphones, the AB-1266 deserves serious consideration. It was revised last year and is now called the AB-1266 PHI Reference. Its prices start at $4,495”
