HiFiMAN Ananda Unveiled

The HIFIMAN Ananda Unveiled takes open-back planar magnetic design to its logical conclusion by completely eliminating the traditional grille structure. This “unveiled” approach removes acoustic interference that typically degrades sound quality, delivering what HIFIMAN calls near-lossless audio reproduction. The exposed drivers might look unusual, but they’re the secret to the headphones’ exceptional soundstage width and imaging precision – creating that bubble-of-sound effect where instruments seem to float in three-dimensional space around your head. Built with HIFIMAN’s second-generation NEO supernano diaphragm that’s 40% thinner than the original, plus rare-earth-free magnets that match traditional magnet performance while being more environmentally sustainable. At 449g with the new composite headband design, they’re comfortable enough for marathon listening sessions. The 22-ohm impedance and 93dB sensitivity make them surprisingly easy to drive from phones and portable devices, though they’ll scale up beautifully with dedicated amplification. Includes protective magnetic veils to shield the exposed drivers when not in use – essential since the open design attracts metallic objects. Comes with 3m single-ended cable with 6.3mm termination.
