HiFiMAN Ananda Nano

New ANANDA “NANO” Stealth version – high-efficiency planar performance

Bigger stage, lower distortion

The key is the planar magnetic principle: the diaphragm is driven more evenly, and you can hear it right away in imaging and spaciousness.

Because the voice coil trace on a planar magnetic diaphragm is distributed evenly across the membrane surface, the electromagnetic force that drives it is applied far more uniformly than on a dynamic driver’s cone. In practice, this means lower phase distortion and less loss of spatial information—resulting in a wider stage and more precise imaging.

The result? Ananda Nano covers a very wide frequency range from 5 Hz to 55 kHz. Its three-dimensional sound field wraps around the listener’s ears, with instrument placement and imaging so precise it can feel like a live performance.

Acoustically “invisible” Stealth Magnet

Unlike conventional magnets that can create stronger interference in the sound wave path, the special shape of Stealth Magnets lets sound waves pass through with minimal disruption. HiFiMAN’s advanced magnet design is acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing diffraction turbulence that can degrade wave integrity.

Less distortion results in a clean, precise, full-range presentation.

Portable, plug-and-play

High sensitivity makes it usable with virtually any smartphone or portable audio device—low distortion and surprisingly strong sound quality included.

Its neutral sound signature, coupled with a fast, impactful bass and a vivid, natural midrange, offers a listening experience that is both immersive and satisfying. The treble extends beautifully, adding to the overall coherence of the sound. The wide and deep soundstage, along with excellent imaging, further enhances the listening experience. The Ananda Nano is a testament to what can be achieved when innovative technology, like the Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm, is applied with a deep understanding of what makes sound reproduction satisfying to the human ear. This headphone is a worthy investment for any audiophile looking for a high-quality, reliable, and impressive performer.”

“The HiFiMAN Ananda Nano is one of the most impressive sub-$1000 over-ear releases to have come out in the past couple of years. It offers more speed and excitement than previous versions of the Ananda at a curiously more affordable price point. The Ananda Nano isn't just my favorite version of the Ananda to date, but my favorite headphone from HiFiMAN in this mid-ranged price tier. Anyone looking for the high-end sound of the Arya or Susvara for a fraction of the price can find a slice of it in the HiFiMAN Ananda Nano.”
