I don't have these type of problems with Sennheiser.

Which sennheiser sounds like HE-1000Se? I like Hifiman, but all the QC issues worry me.

I sold the HE-1000V2s because I found the HD800SDR to sound better.

It's probably all very subjective then. Saw people preferring the 1000Se over 800s on some forums, but I should hope so, the price difference is massive. I only have the Edition XS, but I really like them.

The 800 line would be the closest to a planar imo. It's up to you what you want though, more accurate sound (1000se) vs better overall package (parts, support, waranty, mod-ability, quality that lasts decades)

Have any recommendations? Looking at my options on replacements for the sundaras.

I myself only tried HD-600,HD-58X, HD-800S and HD-8XX.

I feel like HD 6 series is totally different than what a Sundara would present. But HD 8 Series is more "Planar-Like". You might like the 700 or 800 series (pricing aside) if you are after fast and accurate presentation.

Similar price bracket but not the same listening experience at all. And that’s coming from someone who chose the 6XX over the Sundara.
