HIFIMAN SUNDARA vs Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro

vs

This is a comparison of two headphone models that look pretty different. Comparing Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro vs HIFIMAN SUNDARA I have noticed that their sound also does not have many similarities. With respect to the things they have in common, both devices are open-back and over-ear. In addition, you can use them only with an audio cable.

Features

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro has an incredibly high level of impedance which is 250 Ohm. Meanwhile, HIFIMAN SUNDARA has only 37 Ohm. The considered headphones have quite a wide frequency response. It is 5 Hz - 40 kHz in the case with Beyerdynamic and 6 Hz - 75 kHz in the case with HIFIMAN. Speaking of sensitivity, the first device has 102 dB, while the second one has 94 dB.

Sound

The bass provided by HIFIMAN SUNDARA is fast, tight, detailed, textured, and deep. Control is such that bass never gets in the way and never covers the mids, instead offering a solid foundation for those to lay upon.

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro offer a hearty low-frequency response, but still, sound quite accurate. The bass is a highlight of the headphone, providing great slam, speed, and depth.

Comfort and design

It is worth mentioning that these headphones have almost the same weight. The model Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro weighs 370 g and the device HIFIMAN SUNDARA has 372 g. You get them both with a detachable audio cable. However, its length is different as the first appliance has 300 cm long wire, whilst the other one comes with a 150 cm long cable.

Consider that you get a carry case only with Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro. Another thing that makes them special is the interchangeable velour earpads. There are some disadvantages which both devices have. For example, the lack of a microphone and built-in buttons for control.
