Good quality product, the price is commensurate with the quality.

Disclaimer: Everything described is relevant only for my ear and my sound path. Your opinion and perception of reality may differ from mine. Path: Laptop -> USB -> Topping DX7 Pro (with op-amp upgrade) -> 4.4mm custom balanced cable -> Ananda. Old headphones: Shure 1840, AKG k702. At the time of writing this review, the headphones have been in use for 3 months. I bought blindly, guided by reviews and reviews. Before you put on the headphones and taste the sound, you are faced with the fact…

Pros
  • Sound; Wearing comfort; With discounts the price is ~650-700$, instead of 1000$.
Cons
  • Strange and unsuitable for transportation case; No balanced cable included The cable for 6.3 is very long, it tends to get tangled, bend. I had to wrap it around the monitor leg before buying a new cable.

Not all that bad, but there are minuses.

I bought it on Ali during the November 2022 sale for only $700 including shipping. (at the regular price of 1000) Despite the low impedance and high sensitivity, they play much better with a good amplifier and a DAC (I have smsl m500+audio-gd nfb 1amp). In terms of sound and convenience, I liked it more than the lcd-2 and focal elear. (sitting lighter, playing in more detail, the stage is larger) The build quality is of course disgusting for expensive headphones (there are also he-400s, he-400i

Pros
  • Sound (for me this is already the limit, further more expensive models will not be able to play much better - my ears do not catch the difference) Convenience The design is theoretically more reliable than all previous hifiman models
Cons
  • Six months later, resonances appeared at a variety of frequencies! The headband scratched the plastic cup! Ear pad mount broke off

Hopelessly crippled, despite the fact that these are the best sounding Bluetooth headphones out there.

These really are the best bluetooth headphones in the world but I sent them back. Why? Hifiman decided to hopelessly ruin these headphones by not allowing you to connect them to a dedicated DAC/amp combo. So basically you have $800 headphones permanently tied to a $50 DAC/amp combo with a rare balanced category advantage. The sound reproduced here doesn't even come close to that of an Ananda NonBT connected to a $500 balanced external headphone amp/DAC. This version will never be able to…

Pros
  • ※NEO "supernano" (NsD) HIFIMAN Diaphragm: The new NSD is 80% thinner than previous designs, resulting in fast response and detailed images with rich, full spectrum sound.
Cons
  • Other Other

Premium Bluetooth Sound

Ananda BT headphones are very impressive. I've been a long time fan of Hifiman headphones so I really love their homey sound. And I've never liked Bluetooth audio. But for me it's the perfect combination: Hifiman's amazingly transparent, open, flat sound and high-definition Bluetooth. I use these headphones when I'm on the go and have had issues with headphones with a cable that shifts easily resulting in an annoying choppy signal. With Bluetooth, of course, there are no such problems. I used…

Pros
  • ※ Real HIFI headphones work wirelessly: The audiophile HIFIMAN ANANDA-BT with HD Bluetooth technology supports up to 24bit/192kHz (USB), 24bit/96kHz (Bluetooth) and high-quality DAC with powerful balanced amplifier.
Cons
  • Power socket required

Super Clear Sound for In-Ear Headphones

I hate to give headphones with such good sound three stars, but I'm very disappointed that I can't use them as a wired headset. With BT they're just as good as a headset, but using a USB-C cable the mic doesn't work with a computer running Windows 10. The Windows computer sees the mic but it just doesn't work, which is very bad. because I spend about half a day with the included headset and was hoping I could use them with a cord. They are very comfortable and sound very good. They are perfect…

Pros
  • ※High-Resolution Bluetooth Streaming: HIFIMAN ANANDA-BT supports Bluetooth HD lossless codecs APTX-HD, HWA and LDAC. ★Built-in High-Performance Amplification: AANDA-BT features a built-in specially designed amplifier that is ideal for currently available Bluetooth HD codecs. ★ Same DAC filter design in the R2R2000 filter and analog circuitry by the same engineers who designed the standard HIFIMAN R2R2000 HD Bluetooth/USB DAC/Digital Audio Player (USD 2500).
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Very clear sound good for headphones

Headphones with such good sound I don't want to give three stars but am very disappointed that I can't use them as a wired headset.

The Windows computer sees the mic but it just doesn't work, which is very bad. because I spend about half a day with the included headset and was hoping I could use them with a cord.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Doesn't fit

Doesn't work with Windows devices (+ horrible customer service)

Sound quality is great, although others note there isn't much bass, so look elsewhere if that's important to you. However, there are several serious flaws that make this headset unusable. First and most importantly, Headset mode is not compatible with all Windows devices. This is because in "Headset" mode, these headphones will not detect the audio input/output and will go to sleep every 10 minutes. You must be in headset mode to use the built-in microphone. Therefore, these headphones cannot…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • No car

First-class sound quality

The best headphones for the money I've ever seen! where to start I've been listening to quality audio since I was a student and back then the HD600 and HD650 were the best. They sat at the top for so long with no real problems and then HIFIMAN when they called themselves Head Direct started releasing their Planar stuff and while they slapped the old Senns a bit, they were even more difficult to handle. So you're stuck in one place. I didn't have any problems with it, it was just the way it was.

Pros
  • High-quality workmanship
Cons
  • A few little things
