ANANDA

The HiFiMan Ananda are one of the best sounding headphones

The HiFiMan Ananda headphones deliver stunning audio performance, providing a superb sense of space and detail

From the moment you open the cardboard shipping box, everything feels like a luxurious experience befitting the high price. The actual box inside is a thing of beauty, with grain leather covering and white stitching on the edges. Flip the lid and push the included paperwork aside, and you'll find the headphones sitting in stabilizing cushions covered in black satin.

The Ananda's design is handsome and sleek, with massive, ear-shaped circumaural earcups with leather earpads. Grilles on the outer panels are reminiscent of the kind of design flourishes you see on Ferraris. The fit is comfortable almost to the point of feeling strange—the earcups touch your jawline, temples, and above and behind your ears, but are large enough the barely make contact with your ear itself, while the drivers are recessed. This, combined with the open design, can create the sense that you're wearing headphones with hollow earcups, as if the drivers aren't there and there's nothing blocking out the noise. The headband fit is secure and also quite comfortable, with a thin leather strap that rests atop your head while the matte black band rises over the top, never making contact with you.
