Someone just made a post showing that they're now $150 on amazon. For that price are they actually that bad? The name only goes against them because I know they sound nothing like sundaras. But with eq, are they really worse value than other $150 closed backs? K371?

Just recently got them at a discounted price. I also have the open Sundara and the LCD-X.

I took the closed ones over to my girlfriend's place so I don't bother her with open cans while she works and the closed ones are about the same as you would imagine CLOSED Sundara to sound. I haven't heard anything better at this price. After a few hours of burn-in they don't bother me at all.
I run them with either Fiio K7 or the Zen stack.

"after a few hours of burn-in"

Yes, that's how it works. If you had 2 pairs of the same headphones or speakers you would know.

2 pairs of the same headphone or speaker don't ever sound exactly the same.

So you can tell a difference between two pairs of the exact headphones but not tell which is the new one?
