Oh yes we should mention that!
T1 build quality is a hundred times better than the Ananda.
Hifiman can't even touch it.
But not a key point if ones aim is to actually listen.

I decided to go for the Aryas, after doing a lot of research I think they'll be the better fit for me and I don't want to settle and then wonder what I'm missing.
I'm going to wait though, even open-box for $1200 is a lot (to me) for a pair of headphones and I just can't bring myself to blindly spent it without trying first. After the virus lockdowns are over I'll have the ability to go to a store to audition them, which would help in the decision making.
Still, If I can snag a deal under 1K somehow, I'll probably jump on them as that'll be easier to swallow, but I don't know if that's realistic. Thank you for the advice!
Of course , just mentioning it.But not a key point if ones aim is to actually listen.
Andrew (Resolve Reviews) did the review of Ananda and compared it to Sundara.
Comparable to other headphones I would pick the Ananda for EDM/pop over the Ananda for jazz/acoustic 9/10 times. If you found the TH900 too bassy you might not like the Ananda for similar reasons; it is warmer overall but its midbass is still relatively forward which adds to the warmth and bass sense.Hi guys,
I'm currently deciding between the Ananda and the Elex. I will be mostly listening to pop/EDM. I'm guessing most people's immediate suggestion would be Elex, for its bass slam, but I actually don't care for bass slam that much - as long as the sub-bass is there. I actually had the TH-900 and I didn't like it that much for EDM - for EDM I prefer a more neutral sound, with lots of detail retrieval.
So which is better on that detail/clarity front? Anyone here find the Ananda suitable for EDM/pop? Or is it mostly a jazz/acoustic headphone due its supposedly "diffused" presentation?

Well after about 5 hours of listening now I have to say these are a great sounding headphone, probably the best sounding pair I have now. I am using an aftermarket cable which I strongly recommend you get because the ones you get with them are trash. I'm most impressed with the detail retrievel and the separation which is the best of any of my headphones.
Compared to other under $1000 headphones I've listened to the Ananda is the best hands down. Now depending on your preference you might not agree but for what I like these are fantastic and well worth $700.
