Ananda Nano

The ANANDA NANO is a planar headphone from HIFIMAN built around a nanometer-scale diaphragm. Owners describe a fast, transparent and detailed presentation with an open, wide soundstage and a firm low end. Some also describe a bright treble and a fit with firmer clamping force than other HIFIMAN models. It has been used for music production, mixing and mastering as well as for listening.

The headphone is described as easy to drive, so it works without a dedicated high-power amplifier, and it also responds to better source gear. A cable is supplied with it. Reviewers describe this stock cable as stiff, and some replace it.

The cable connects through two 3.5 mm entry jacks, one on each earcup. This makes it detachable and allows third-party cables. One reviewer found that the jacks hold the plugs rather loosely. The model is also sold as an open-box unit, and a universal headphone travel case is listed as a separate accessory.
