HIFIMAN ANANDA-NANO Open-Back Stealth Magnets Planar Hi-Fi Headphones for Audiophiles, Home and Studio, Silver

I used to have Austrian Audio HI-X65 headphones and they fell apart after maybe 6 months. These have not. They are great quality and once they've been worn a bit they're very comfy. The fit is great, being over ear and open back just adds to the general comfort as you don't sweat in them. They weigh a surprisingly small amount compared to some of used. They do look a little strange at first and they're huge but the quality of the sound is incredible and owes itself somewhat to the appearance so it's a worthwhile trade. They're fantastic value. I have never had headphones that are so detailed with such a wide soundstage. All round incredible.One thing that might not be for everyone is that they are open back meaning you hear everything in your surroundings and others can hear what you hear if close enough. They are very open...

The HiFiMAN Ananda Nano has completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I put them on, the level of clarity, detail, and openness is on another level compared to anything I’ve used before.The standout is the soundstage and separation. Music doesn’t just play—it feels like it surrounds you. Every instrument has its own space, and vocals come through with incredible realism. You start noticing details in tracks you’ve heard for years but never fully appreciated. For acoustic, orchestral, and even well-produced modern music, these are simply breathtaking.The planar magnetic drivers really shine here. The sound is fast, clean, and incredibly precise without ever feeling harsh. The tuning feels very natural and balanced, making long listening sessions a pleasure rather than fatiguing.Comfort is excellent too. Despite their size, they’re surprisingly light and the large ear cups make them easy to wear for hours. They disappear on your head, which is exactly what you want when you’re getting lost in music.Yes, they’re open-back—but that’s exactly why they sound so good. The openness creates a huge, airy presentation that closed-back headphones just can’t match.Pros:Incredible clarity and detailHuge, immersive soundstageNatural, balanced tuningExtremely comfortable for long sessionsTrue audiophile performance at a strong price pointCons:None yetVerdict:If you care about sound quality, these are outstanding. The Ananda Nano delivers a genuinely high-end listening experience and feels like a major upgrade the moment you hear it. Easily the best headphones at this price point and when paired with a good DAC get ready to fall in love with music again.

I've been a fan of Hifiman products for some years and consider myself an audiophile. I won't use too many audiophile terms however as I find them pretentious even if they are descriptive.They were tight on the head at first and standard pads aren't very good, they always feel like they'll break but I've had about 2 years with them now and love every day with them.I would recommend for the best to come from them balanced cables and a decent DAC or amp are an ideal but chances are you'll have one already if you're considering these.It can be a mixed bag with their products with regards to reliability but I've had several pairs from various tiers of their range and these too have been reliable.Not the cheapest but they've still given me a vastly better and more moving experience of audio than anything else I've heard. They might lack the slam of bass but the bass they produce is warm and organic, heavy if the track or song was made to sound heavy in the first place but there's no "mega bass" style enhancement here, just musical purity.Highly recommended.

I’m no audiophile—just a PC gamer who watches anime and Netflix—but the Ananda Nanos blew me away with their technical precision. They’re incredibly detailed, airy, and offer a fantastic soundstage. However, for me, the clamping force was uncomfortable—no swivel, big ear cups, and awkward pressure points. I’m returning them for that reason. But if they fit you, they outperform their price by miles—super clear, crisp, and only lacking a bit of bass.TL;DR: Amazing clarity and detail, but clamping force made them uncomfortable for me.

I am relatively new in HiFi. I bought various other IEMs and over the ear devices. I was a bit reluctant about this pair based on reviews.I can say that the build quality is great, not plasticky at all, decent head fit (I have a big head). The sound quality is unbelievable, had nothing even close before. Beautiful! Clear, airy, pleasant, easy to drive. I am delighted with my purchase! Cannot comment about durability but I don’t have any concerns currently. There is also a decent case and a decent 3.5mm long cable. There is a significant difference with the 4.4mm balanced cable which I have from another pair of headphones. Best thing I bought this year!

Amazing sound, unfortunately incredibly uncomfortable on the head. The clamp is very strong, for that reason I've send them back.

I’ve spent a lot of time in the last year looking for an “upgrade” to my Beyerdynamic DT1990s. I’ve tried many different headphones, mainly thanks to Amazon’s return policies but other retailers too. My price range was up to £2000. My source is a Naim Atom HE but I also use a Mojo2 and Dragonfly Cobalt.In the end my favourite open back headphones were the Anando Nano (actually my overall favourites for a one headphone solution were the Sony MDR-Z1R. But, unfortunately, these gave me incredible jaw/ear ache (TMDJ)).And I also bought a pair of Dan Clark Noire X as closed backs (£999), so coming in well under budget.The Anandos punch well above their weight and I much preferred them to the HifiMan Edition XS, Arya and 1000SE. I also tried Sennheiser 800S and 820s as well as other models from Shure, Beyerdynamic and Sennheiser.Although not fully adjustable they are very comfortable to wear for long sessions. They work very well with music and movies. Fantastic trebles, midrange and bass. Their transparency is excellent. I can’t think of a bad word to say about them.What’s very telling is that in the last 5 months I’ve listened to the Anandos almost exclusively and rarely worn the Dan Clark’s. Indeed the decision to buy the closed backs was a (expensive) mistake in hindsight although they look and feel amazing (and sound good too).My bottom line, buy pair of open back headphones unless you really need the isolation. Buy a pair of HifiMan Anando Nanos. They are a bargain at the current price (£389)👍.

Really really good! These go extremely low and are fast AF.Bass seems to come in and out of existence in a flash.Perfect for getting low end sorted in a mix.Using with qudelix 5k on balanced. Very nice setup with lots of flexibility

Normalde apple music + airpods max 2.nesil kullanıyordum. Fakat sonrasinda Hifi işlere bulaştım. Evde wiim ultra + edifier s2000mk3 ve jbl spinner ile bir sebep kurdum. Fakat bu sefer airpods kesmez oldu. Kendim3 bir adet fiio jm21 dap aldim. Kulaklik olarak iem simgot ea500lm ve tipsy m3 um var biri cok parlak biride daha nötr bir kulaklik. Sonra the odyofil sayesinde hifiman ürünlerini görünce araştırmaya başladım. Cok uzun araştırmalar sonrasinda ananda nano aldim .jm21 yeterince besleyebiliyor fakat ileride balans 4.4 kablo alacağım fakat su an icin kulaklik beni tatmin etti (medium gainde) .muazzam detay veriyor gerçekten. Evet acik kulaklığa aliskin değilim ama sahnenin bu kadar geniş olmasi insanı alıştırıyor. Evet airpods max 2. Nesil gibi yüksek bas yok fakat bu kulaklik sesi olmasi gerektigi seviyede veriyor ve Evet planar sürücüler inanılmaz hızlı. Bence bu fiyatta alınabilecek en iyilerden biri . İleride daha üst segment bir hifiman e geçebilirim. Tek eksisi biraz malzeme kalitesinin bir tık ucuz hissettirmesi. Ama bunu alacak arkadaşlar bunun bir ev kulaklığı olduğunu bilerek alsınlar. Bir keslz bu kulaklıkta detayları ve sahneyi duyduktan sonra verdiği bass da olmasi gerektiği gibi geliyor algısını oluşturuyor. Bu cihazdan sonra bana airpods max yapay geliyor. Bundan sonra evde bunu kullanırım fakat ucak yolculugudur yada dışarıda kalabalık bir ortamdır vs o zaman airpods max takarım.

Nie oszukujmy się. Jak kupisz nano to nie będzie dźwięk arya czy he1000. Przykre ale prawdziwe.

Ce casque remplace mon valeureux Sennheiser hd595. Je recherchais un casque au son clair et détaillé , bref , un casque transparent : Je l'ai trouvé , au delà de mes espérances. Avec ce genre de casque , c'est surtout le couple Dac/Ampli qui déterminera la signature sonore :Si vous préférez un son typé "doux" , choisissez le Dac/Ampli en conséquence...Pour l'instant , il est branché directement sur mon PC fixe dont la carte mère intègre un bon circuit audio ( Asus Rog Strix B650E-f gaming ): La puissance fournie par la carte est suffisante la plupart du temps mais un peu juste sur certains enregistrements, je prévois donc un ampli externe.Points négatifs :- Le casque serre très fort la tête , j'ai été obligé de déformer légèrement les arceaux pour y remédier.- Le "simili cuir" des oreillettes parait être très fin , je ne sais pas s'il va durer des années.- Un des écouteurs comportait des petites griffes à la livraisonAu final , c'est un excellent rapport performance/prix. Pour la qualité de fabrication , elle est perfectible.

En el rango de 400-460 euros, habiendo rondado casi el doble de su precio en el lanzamiento, estos auriculares de Hifiman son el auricular a comprar si hay dudas con el presupuesto de si gasto más o menos. Mejoran los Ananda originales y los Ananda Stealth, pero estos vienen con su funda rígida de viaje y, como todos los Hifiman de entrada y gama media, con el cable gomoso de 3.5 a las copas y 3.5 a fuente con adaptador de 6.3 mm para amplis y DACs.Suenan de escándalo conforme se sacan de la caja, ni caso a las películas que dicen que hay que hacerle el rodaje como si fuese un peugeot de gasóleo de los años 80. He leído por ahí que necesitan horas y horas. Por favor, no.Llevan los driver planares magnéticos Nano que se pueden ver en modelos superiores, los HE1000 y Arya. Funcionan de escándalo. Es la diferencia con los Ananda normales y los Stealth. El Ananda Nano lleva el driver mejorado. No sé si le interesaba a Hifiman meter un upgrade semejante en un modelo de 400 euros-460 euros, porque se queda muy cerquita en rendimiento sonoro a los modelos superiores. Otra cosa es el tema materiales, aquí hay plástico y metal y pocos accesorios, aunque bueno, viene la funda de viaje, qué ya está bien.Ojo, contad con que HAY QUE AMPLIFICARLOS. Aunque veáis impedancia de 14 ohms, la sensibilidad es bajísima, 94dB. Así que si queréis darle vida, necesitan electricidad. Una vez alimentados, van de escándalo. Todas las frecuencias, sin ecualizar a mi me valen, como los planares, admiten ecualización rápida y precisa. Pero vamos, cuatro pruebas que he hecho, al final los he dejado planos escuchando todo tipo de música. No he llegado a notar sibilancias en las frecuencias más agudas. Los drivers son rápidos y precisos, el escenario perfecto. Pero todo eso esMis equipos son Fiio, K7 estacionario, en ganancia alta, al 50% volumen, sobrado. En M11 2+ como reproductor hires, ganancia media al 85% volumen a través de la salida 3.5mm, ganancia alta a 55-60% volumen. No he llegado a probarlo con cable balanceado completo, pero con adaptador pentacon/jack OFC y el propio cable de los auriculares, va perfecto igualmente. Con un dongle dac KA11 no y con un KA13 si, en modo escritorio sobrado pero baja la batería de la tablet/móvil.Tema ergonomía, puffff, es algo subjetivo. Yo calzo buen cabezón y me queda un poco justa la diadema de cuero. Pero menos mal que pedí este porque la diadema del edition xs, que es goma, me destrozaría la cabeza directamente.Conclusión: Es un auricular audiófilo que está justo en la entrada por sonido de los auriculares ya "serios". Por materiales no entra en esa clasificación, pero por sonido y tecnología sin duda. Ya la cuestión es elegir hasta dónde queréis gastaros; Sundara, menos dinero, 300 aprox, peor driver y sonido, distinto diseño; Edition XS un poquito menos aún, 250-280 (y peores materiales y ergonomía), o el Ananda Stealth que se acerca a los 400 por abajo. Pero vamos, merece mucho la pena.

Surprised by the clarity, detail, and bass compared to the Edition XS, the soundstage is more narrow, it's closer and more personal. Comfort wise, the ear caps are a bit smaller for a tighter fit, the headband is extremely comfortable, but the headphone clamp might be a bit too much for some people. Also, my pair of headphones has a minor production issue: the right ear is matte finish, while the left ear is glossy.
