Got the Ananda Stealth in a few days ago. $399 brand new on hifiman store. It's an absolutely insane deal right now IMO. These sound like they belong in the $750-$1,000 range (I believe they launched at $999 and were $700 for a long while so it makes sense).

Still going back and forth with my Edition XS. Having trouble deciding which I like better. The Ananda Stealth definitely sounds more tonally correct, but the XS has a wider soundstage, and the slight v shape really makes it an engaging listen. The Ananda Stealth sounds very "analytical hifi", while the XS sounds more movie theatre or speaker like. Both are terrific, and it's nutty you can get this sort of sound quality for under $500 now.

I'm still tempted by the Nano. Interested to see your review Ichos.

I had Ananda OG and think stealth is a step up. Also tempted by the Nano and there is (only) 200 dollar difference. Ananda Stealth has better bass in terms of quantity (comparing to OG) but I'm hoping Nano can go deeper. However I really enjoyed the tuning of Stealth and all reviews seem to say Nano can be too bright which concerns me a bit.

I don't find that Stealth has more bass quantity than the OG but it does sound warmer and more organic.
It also resolves better and is more refined.

To my ears, it just takes a slight edge off the treble and adds a little more to the low end.

The biggest benefit for me is, they’re considerably comfier to use over the stock pads.

Are they thicker at all? My earlobes just barely touch the driver on my nanos

Whats a good earpad to use on the Ananda Nano to tame treble slightly?

Good question.

 

[HardstyleLoco96]

Good question.

I personally don't have an issue with the treble. And I do use a little eq. But I'd like to improve earpad comfort a bit and also bring a little more warmth into the overall tuning . But I am loving the Ananda Nano

Hi Guys,
I'd like to get a close back can to have a set for night because Ananda Nano is too noisy for night sessions.
Wich "can" could i try with similar detail retrieval and mids? i Won't lose clarity and bass OFC...

Very strange... that seems closer to the original Ananda in terms of sensitivity, for sure, yet clearly by the packaging this is not that, as that always came in the more premium faux leather box, maybe some in the black cardboard box, but none ever came in this newer packaging that's still current.

Who did you order them from? I would contact HiFIMAN directly and ask them, in any case.

Hi
I get an Ananda Stealth yesterday thinking to upgrade from a 3 years old He400se.
I am really socked because currently I don't like at all the quality of sound : sounds too sharp, distorted in the highs, not easy to drive, a noticebale umbalance in channel (left sounds more loud and full than right channel),
After tens of reviews read and seen, i was really expecting more from them, and i am really disappointed .
Who would advice please ?
- problem in this specific pair
- driving problem
- burn-in problem
- I am not used to high end gears

help

Distorted highs and channel unbalance points to a faulty unit.

Maybe you are not habit to this signature, just give time, and are very easy to drive, just a apple dongle for iphone and the volume is good, also directly on pc, maybe your gear, audio card, i dont know is very old.
If there is big unbalanced can be a problem of your ananda or of your gear, my havent this problem.
