The magnetostatic headphone Ananda replaced the Edition X model in HIFIMAN's portfolio. There is now a new edition of both. ANANDA Version 2 now comes with the technology of stealth magnets in addition to the NEO 'supernano' diaphragms of its predecessor. HIFIMAN's all-rounder can now do even more.

Inside, ultra-thin diaphragms of the latest generation work at lightning speed. The foils, known as NEO 'supernano' diaphragms, are 80% thinner than previous developments. This is combined with newly designed stealth magnets. They literally no longer stand in the way of your good sound. Sound waves that lead to distortion no longer break off them. The sound pressure level of the Ananda is 103 dB and enables impressive sound even at low output voltages.

Ananda Version 2 shines on smartphones or portable music players without any noticeable distortion. Of course, it becomes truly fantastic on a high-quality headphone amplifier or a headphone output of a good HiFi amplifier, provided that the output is not just intended to serve an alibi function on the device. This is where its sound unfolds: open, rich, warm and balanced on a wide stage.

At 440 g, the headphones are not heavy. The headband and driver suspensions were designed to ensure long-term comfort. The asymmetrical ear pads follow the natural shape of the head and ear. The headband is made of flexible steel and can be adjusted to the size of the head. The included cable is very flexible, does not tend to tangle and is optimized against microphonics.
