Instrument separation is similarly good
great amount of detail and good layering
very pleasant and enjoyable headphones

Ananda is extremely light for its size
headphone tonality was very nice now and sound super open and pleasing
Comfort was excellent despite the large size

user-replaceable
its consequent weight and overly plastic built
squeaky noise
lacks a bit of body
no volume or tracks control
it s not overpowering
DF red can only render (rather than decode)
the headphone is a bit bulky
lack of amp requirement
will just sound too bright
The headphones are entirely painted black with some accents painted silver
sub-bass being noticeably recessed in comparison
Midrange is shifted towards the upper area and can sometimes sound a bit thin
vocals are often difficult for headphones to reproduce as distinct individuals
headphones merely to pick out flaws in familiar recordings
headphones that stay in the same spot are a bit of a paradox
No other headphones have ever tugged at my emotions this way
lacks a little lateral flexibility compared
chaotic aspect in group delay graph
It may not display this or other websites correctly
deaf-mutes Click to expand
the mids are somewhat weakened in comparison to highs and lows
with immense power but lacking humanism and moral
Cables lack inline remote control or mic
often we award five stars to a product
neither cable has an inline remote and mic
no included carrying pouch for travel
lack of swivel on the cups
The cables have a tendency to fold rather than bend and are not very manageable
the Ananda is not far behind
reviewÃ¢ÂÂ¦IntroÃ¢ÂÂ¦The Ananda are not a new model
music is thrown at these headphones
don't have a microphone for voice chat and no customization options
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
lacks swiveling joints
headphones are somewhat prone to durability issues
heavy
bulky
and not designed for physical activity
The newer strap seems impervious to nicks and scratches
this is not exactly an aesthetic upgrade
5mm TRS detachable cable dual-entry system

HiFiMAN ANANDA Review

5.0

The ANANDA is a brand new full-size headphone featuring HiFiMAN's most advanced planar magnetic drivers. The huge NsD membrane drivers coupled with an ear cup design from the HiFiMAN Edition X and headband from the Sundara make for an interesting proposition. Currently priced at $699, the ANANDA sits below the Arya and the Susvara in terms of price, but still offers many of the advantages of its bigger brethren.
