HiFiMAN ANANDA Stealth Planar Magnetic Headphones – Price & Specifications

ANANDA Stealth with headband Gen.2

The HiFiMAN ANANDA Stealth is an open-back planar magnetic headphone designed for listeners who want a large soundstage, high sensitivity, excellent resolution and the speed of HIFIMAN’s planar driver technology.

Combining Stealth Magnet technology with the ultra-thin NEO Supernano Diaphragm, the ANANDA Stealth delivers a spacious, highly detailed presentation while remaining relatively easy to drive compared with many high-end planar magnetic headphones.

Planar Magnetic Performance

At the heart of the HiFiMAN ANANDA Stealth is a large planar magnetic driver designed to move with exceptional precision.

Unlike conventional dynamic drivers, planar magnetic technology distributes force across a much larger area of the diaphragm.

This helps reduce distortion and contributes to fast transient response, excellent detail retrieval and accurate spatial imaging.

Acoustically Transparent Stealth Magnets

The ANANDA uses HIFIMAN Stealth Magnets, developed to reduce the acoustic interference normally created by conventional magnetic structures.

Their streamlined shape allows sound waves produced by the diaphragm to pass through the magnet array with less obstruction.

By reducing diffraction, reflections and turbulence, the Stealth Magnet system helps preserve clarity, transparency and low-level detail.

NEO Supernano Diaphragm

The NEO Supernano Diaphragm is one of the key technologies behind the ANANDA Stealth.

The ultra-thin diaphragm is approximately 1 to 2 microns thick and significantly thinner than earlier HIFIMAN designs.

Reducing moving mass allows the driver to respond faster to changes in the audio signal, helping reproduce fine musical detail, micro-dynamics and complex transients with impressive speed.

Large and Spacious Soundstage

The open-back architecture allows the planar drivers to operate with minimal acoustic restriction.

This contributes to the ANANDA Stealth’s wide, open presentation and its ability to place instruments clearly within the soundstage.

Its combination of scale, separation and precise imaging makes it particularly attractive for classical music, jazz, acoustic recordings, live performances and complex modern productions.

High Sensitivity for a Planar Headphone

With an impedance of 27Ω and a sensitivity of 103dB, the ANANDA Stealth is relatively easy to drive for a full-size planar magnetic headphone.

It can perform well with many modern DAC/headphone amplifiers and portable audio players, although a high-quality dedicated headphone amplifier can still improve dynamics, bass authority and overall control.

Its high sensitivity makes the ANANDA particularly flexible for listeners who want high-end planar performance without requiring an exceptionally powerful amplifier.

Comfort and Hybrid Headband Design

The large asymmetric earcups follow the natural shape of the human ear while the hybrid headband distributes the headphone’s weight across a wide area.

At approximately 440g, the ANANDA Stealth remains comfortable for extended listening sessions thanks to its suspension-style headband and large ear pads.

The combination of metal construction and a matte black finish gives the headphone a clean, understated appearance while maintaining structural rigidity.

Window Shade Grill Design

HIFIMAN’s Window Shade grill is designed to protect the planar magnetic driver while maintaining the open acoustic structure required for maximum transparency.

The open grill reduces unwanted reflections behind the driver, helping the diaphragm reproduce sound without unnecessary acoustic restriction.

3.5mm User-Replaceable Connections

The ANANDA Stealth uses standard 3.5mm headphone connectors on the earcups.

The detachable cable design makes cable replacement simple and also allows owners to use compatible aftermarket or balanced cables where required.

Who Is the HiFiMAN ANANDA Stealth For?

The ANANDA Stealth is aimed at listeners who want a substantial step up from entry-level planar magnetic headphones without moving directly into the highest-priced HIFIMAN models.

Its strong combination of large soundstage, high resolution, excellent imaging and relatively easy amplifier requirements makes it well suited to serious desktop headphone systems.

It is particularly attractive for listeners who value openness and spatial information while still wanting strong dynamics and low distortion.
