Our Verdict
HiFiMan Sundara 2020
Audeze MM-100
The Audeze MM-100 and the HiFiMan Sundara 2020 are both open-back headphones with planar magnetic drivers. However, the two have quite different sound profiles, with the HiFiMan following our target curve a bit better. They're also slightly more comfortable. That said, the Audeze are considerably better built and more likely to be a durable, long-term option in the studio.
