About this item

Acoustically Invisible Stealth Magnet: Unlike the sound waves created by a conventional magnet, the special shape of Stealth Magnets enables the waves to pass through the magnets without generating interference. HIFIMAN's advanced magnet design is acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing wave diffraction turbulence that degrades the integrity of the sound waves. The reduced distortion yields pure sonic output that is accurate and full-range.

NEO "supernano" Diaphragm (NsD)- "Hear what you have been missing": The all new NsD is 80% thinner than previous designs resulting in a faster more detailed response while retaining lush musicality never before possible. At between 1 to 2 microns thick, the NsD diaphragm sets all be standards.

High Sensitivity: High Sensitivity allows use with virtually any smartphone or portable audio device. Low distortion and amazing sound quality.

★Window Shade Grill Design: Window Shade Grill Design greatly reduces sonic reflections for clearer sound;★Asymmetrical Ear Cups: Asymmetrical Ear Cups follows the natural shape of the human ear;★ Hybrid Headband Design: ANANDA has a carefully designed weight dispersing strap allowing the headband to afford outstanding levels of long-term comfort. The sleek and sumptuous matte black finish is combined with a metal construction for maximum durability;★ Making Connections ANANDA comes with our updated 3.5mm headphone connectors. This offers users the most robust headphone connector we have ever used giving both maximum survivability and enhanced longevity.

Efficient Planar Performance: ANANDA is the culmination of years of development, lightweight, ultra-fine planar drivers at their heart sing with unmatched agility and power sensitivity. Unparalleled Portable Audio Performance: ANANDA is the perfect companion for the portable devices, a sonic match made in heaven allowing you to experience sonic bliss wherever you may be.

$700 according to the camel.
The cheapest I ever saw the previous revision (non-Stealth version) NEW was $600 from Amazon from time to time.

If you don't mind lightly used, I'll see a pair of these (and/or the previous revision) pass through Head-Fi's classifieds for $400 to $450 about once a month.

Very unique sound. Super wide soundstage that also has "height" to it. Very large earcups that leak a lot of sound (clearly, since they're open back). My favorite pair of open back headphones. A lot of reviewers say the stealth revision improved the original in multiple ways.

EDIT: just found a used one with less than 10 hours of use for $435.

I own these cans and have nothing but good things to say about them. Only minor gripe I had was with the included wires as the plastic/rubber coating felt stiff/awkward. Quick remedy with a visit to ArticCable though Big Grin. Anyone looking to jump into hifi at a low price point I would recommend grabbing these and a Schiit stack.

These are usually $600. If budget allows id go for the Arya Stealth edition or the HE1000.

If the diaphragm is so ridiculously thin now, at 1-2 microns, then how delicate is it? Would blowing on it, or wearing it outside on a slightly windy day, be enough to damage it?

Can't say for sure, but hifiman is notorious for quality control issues.

Own a pair of Ananda OG (non-stealth) and they're the favorite of mine. Don't touch my Senn HD-6XX's much anymore. I would imagine these are slightly better in several regards over the OG model.
