I remember when the non-stealth version were like $700 many years ago.

Slightly big/awkward headphones, but very unique and very wide sound signature. Bass light but still fun headphones. They even have height and front to back depth on them.

Is it safe to buy from a seller on AliExpress? It's $200 purchase.

Had the same experience with fit. they are awkward. hifiman circular shaped ones are better. that susvara is an amazing headphone.

Hifiman has a store within AliExpress, which has been confirmed by Hifiman's CS.

This is a legitimately good deal. Even a couple of years ago, people were buying the Anandas for $500 open-box and raving about them. $200-ish for a new pair is nuts.

I heard somewhere on Reddit that the headphone pads and extra high-quality cables come with those that cost more money. So, when they sell for around $ 200, you're not quite getting the same value. I'm not sure about drivers, though.

Unfortunate that this headband design doesn't allow the earcups to swivel/rotate around to better conform/fit on your head, unlike the Hifiman Arya, or Audeze cans. That's the one aspect I dislike the most about my Hifiman Sundaras.

I have these and the Sundaras and think they are better than the Sundaras for most type of music. Less bass heavy but more controlled and better trebles and wider soundstage. The fit is a bulkier than the Sundaras but fit my ears better cause Sundaras can feel a little on-ear sometimes instead of over ear. These clearly fit over your ears well. This is a great price for the Anandas.
