For anyone who was unsure about the Sundara revision, here’s Oratory’s measurements of the new one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j8r9im6d3s5zglk/Hifiman%20Sundara%20(revised%20earpads%2C%20preliminary).pdf?dl=0&fbclid=IwAR10XVYohQTd7QKRtU47RDodutHPRxqmsihx4Oec-oEfNyuEgJLqwaT06to

This very closely matches the one I posted initially as well - so hopefully we can finally put this question to rest haha.

Here’s what we know for sure:

  1. There is some difference in the frequency response
  2. There is some difference for the pads (look/feel)

While there may be other factors that account for these changes that go beyond simply different pads, at the very least we can be confident that there was a revision at some point with this headphone, and the new one measures better.
