Introducing HIFIMAN Ananda Nano
Features the Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm
2023.5.17 Ananda Nano.jpg

ANANDA NANO represents a generational leap forward for the popular headphone. Marking its third iteration, the ANANDA NANO features the Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm. Based on the reference SUSVARA open-back headphone, the diaphragm results in ultra-low distortion, lightning fast transient response, and demonstrable improvement in dynamics and overall details when compared to the original, highly acclaimed model.

“The ANANDA has been one of our most popular headphones since we introduced it in 2018,” said Dr. Fang Bian, Founder and CEO, HIFIMAN. “But with the development of the Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm, we saw a clear path to improving on its performance while maintaining the wide soundstage and pleasing musicality that made the original model an audiophile favorite."

The Stealth Magnet that was designed for the SUSVARA is now part of the ANANDA NANO. This design is recognized for the way it enables soundwaves to pass through the magnets without causing interference.

The advanced magnet design is acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing turbulence that degrades the integrity of the sound waves. The reduced distortion yields pure sonic output that is accurate and full range.

The hybrid headband design disperses weight evenly along the strap, for unmatched comfort over extended listening sessions. A metal earcup holder enhances durability for years of listening pleasure. Inputs are 3.5mm for enhanced connectivity and compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket cables.

Specifications:
Frequency Response: 5Hz-55kHz
Sensitivity: 94dB
Impedance: 14Ω
Weight: 419g

Ananda Nano is available for ordering now at the MSRP of $599, visit our official online shop or contact your local dealers to learn more details!

Would be interested in this headphone for sure. I seem to like the HiFi Man sound signature ethos.

94 dB/mW and 14 Ohms! So close to my Dan Clark Aeon Noire specs (93 dB/mW and 13 Ohms)

What is the advantage of having 14 ohms?

What is the advantage of having 14 ohms?
None. If both sensitivity and impedance are taken into account, the new iteration of the Ananda is "harder" to amplify than the previous one, but this is not a problem for most desktop HP amplifiers, which give at least one watt in the 16 to 32 Ohms load range. The problem may be for those using the Ananda with portable DAPs, which are considerably less powerful.

Do the earcups swivel?
