Our Verdict

Sennheiser HD 650

HiFiMan Sundara 2020

The HiFiMan Sundara 2020 are better for neutral sound than the Sennheiser HD 650. The HiFiMan are more comfortable and can produce a bit more low-bass. They deliver sound more consistently, and their passive soundstage is perceived as larger. However, the Sennheiser have a more stable fit and don't trap as much heat against your ears.
