ANANDA Owner’s Guide
Thank you for your purchase of a HIFIMAN product. We take great pride in
offering audio products that provide best-in-class performance and value.
Though it seems like only yesterday when I started HIFIMAN as a passionate
audiophile, we just finished our first decade in business and eagerly look
forward to an exciting future. The company has grown rapidly and the
HIFIMAN brand has become one of the most respected in the industry.
Even with our success, the one thing that has not changed is my passion for
music and creating products that help recreate that live experience. Now, I
am joined by many others in the company who share my passion and in
turn, we humbly share that with you.
Thank you again for your purchase. I hope you will find this guide useful in
learning about your product which will help you enjoy countless hours of
listening pleasure.
Happy listening,

ANANDA Owner’s Guide
The HIFIMAN ANANDA is an open backed headphone with a uniquely
designed stealth magnetic driver. The connection to which is made via
the supplied cable with socketed connectors, they offer a secure and
sturdy connection yet allow for easy cable swapping.
Compared with previous HIFIMAN headphones the ANANDA features
a new headband that borrows from our two previous designs. All of the
comfort and even weight distribution of the latter style but the more
conventional appearance of the early design. This means you can enjoy
your audio in all possible comfort and with their angled pads, you can
listen all day long. Sonically the ANANDA shares the same HIFIMAN
level of resolution and even handed sonic performance across the
acoustic spectrum that you have come to expect. Smooth and highly
extended at both ends with their large driver lows can reach deep into
the depths for a full and robust bass response, while it retains highly
expressive mids and delicately airy treble.
The premium earpads also have been specially designed to be thicker
with an asymmetrical shape that follows the form of the earcups. The
pads are bevelled so that they contour to the shape of your head for
superb comfort and extended listening.
The ANANDA is meant to be used by a wide range of sources, power,
control and finesse all sewn up in to sumptuous headphone with
stunning audio quality.

A smaller mass from either the diaphragm or conductor traces results
in a higher upper frequency bound.
Outstanding Sound Quality
Compared to traditional dynamic headphones, the planar magnetic
technology offers largely superior sounding experience in terms of
quality and soundstage. Dynamic headphones utilize conductors
that vibrate in select areas of the diaphragm. This results in a large
percentage of the diaphragm that cannot be directly driven by
those conductors. Planar magnetic headphones are fundamentally
different and operate on a different technical principle. Firstly, the
weight of the planar headphones (conductors + diaphragm) is
much lower than the dynamic ones. This results in planar
headphones’ superior performance in treble.

Planar
Planar headphones have conductive layers distributed throughout
the surface of diaphragm. The diaphragm is evenly driven by the
magnetic force so that planar headphones have significantly lower
distortion when compared with conventional dynamic headphones.
This lower distortion results in better overall reproduction of minute
details. Instrumental positioning and imaging are improved, and
the headphone has very natural soundstaging capabilities.
ANANDA Owner’s Guide
The latest innovation in the world of planar magnetic headphones is the
development of a new design of magnet. We have called these “Stealth
Magnets” after the core principle of anything stealth, to be as invisible as
possible. Thus, the advanced magnet design used for the first time on the
SUSVARA aims to be as acoustically transparent, or invisible as possible, and
now also implemented on ANANDA. In traditional designs the magnets get
in the way of the sound waves, by reflection and diffraction. This creates
constructive and destructive interference and as these points shift with
frequency changes there is a mass of wave interference taking place.
The use of “Stealth Magnets” means the sound wave reproduction can take
place without the necessary magnets getting in their own way ruining the
sonic purity of their output.

NEO Supernano
Diaphragm
HIFIMAN devoted extensive time and resources to create a nano scale
thickness diaphragm that allows for lightning fast response that not only
produces stunning levels of details but ultra-low distortion too. ANANDA
offers performance levels and musical purity that exceed expectations,
especially for such an affordable headphone.

ANANDA Owner’s Guide
The ergonomic and comfortable headband is designed to fit most
people, with greater reliability and durability.
The new ANANDA headband retains the comfort of the weight
spreading headstrap but the overarching headband has been
contoured to a more human shape. The ANANDA remains as comfy
to wear yet makes a more urban visual aesthetic.
The new headband also incorporates a sleek unibody yolk attaching
the frame to the headphone cups making a seamless ergonomic
sweeping curve that is both elegant and functional. Its single piece
of metal construction makes it durable enough to withstand the
rigours of modern urban life.
To adjust the headband, simply move each ear cup up or down until
the top of the headband rests comfortably on your head and the
ear cups surround your ears.

The Connection Sockets

The New ANANDA makes use of a new 3.5mm socket for its cable
connection. This gives an even more sturdy and robust physical
connection for attaching the cables to and gives a greater surface
area for signal transmission to boot. Giving not only a boost to its
audio potential but raising the levels of punishment the connec-
tion can withstand too.

The Ear Pads
The elongated asymmetry of the ear pads on the ANANDA conform
around the human ear, comfortably distributing the weight evenly yet
offering a secure and sound grip. The pads themselves are gently
bevelled, contouring and moulding to the users head thus providing
superb comfort for long listening sessions.
