HiFiMan Ananda Full Size Over Ear High Fidelity Openback Planar Magnetic Headphones FAQs

How does the HiFiMan Ananda compare to other open-back headphones in terms of sound quality?

The HiFiMan Ananda excels in delivering an open and spacious soundstage. Its planar magnetic drivers produce clear mids and treble, making it a solid choice for critical listening. Compared to other open-back models like the Focal Elear, the Ananda provides a more natural sound with better interaction between the ear and the sound. However, its build quality might feel less durable.

Are the HiFiMan Ananda comfortable for long listening sessions?

While the HiFiMan Ananda features large, well-padded ear cups that provide comfort for most ear sizes, its weight and bulky design can become uncomfortable during extended use. The ear cups may be too large for some heads, and the open-back design can make the ears warm after long listening sessions. It's more suited for critical listening at home rather than on-the-go​.

What are the Ananda's weaknesses in terms of portability and durability?

The HiFiMan Ananda is not portable due to its large size and open-back design. It doesn’t come with a dedicated carrying case, though its packaging can act as a makeshift case. While the headphones have a sturdy construction with metal yokes and high-end ear cups, the included cables may feel less durable compared to previous models like the Edition X.

Is the HiFiMan Ananda suitable for active use like exercising or commuting?

The HiFiMan Ananda is not designed for physical activities such as exercising or commuting. Its open-back nature means they offer limited sound isolation, and the size makes them impractical for on-the-go use. The headphones are best suited for stationary, indoor critical listening.
