HIFIMAN Ananda Unveiled | Planar Magnetic Open-Back Headphones

Featuring HIFIMAN's Acclaimed Planar Technology, Ananda Unveiled Offers Unparalleled Audio Clarity and Detail 2025 latest addition to the Ananda series Enhanced magnet design using Rare-Earth magnetic materials Features 2nd generation NEO Supernano diaphragm New composite headband with rotatable hinges and reduced weight Magnetic veils fit over ear cups when not in use to prevent magnetic absorption Ananda Unveiled The term "Unveiled" literally means "removing the veil." This technology was first applied in the 2024 HIFIMAN SUSVARA headphones. Since the grille structure causes acoustic interference to the diaphragm of the driver unit, the Ananda Unveiled adopted the Unveiled technology to deliver a pure and clean sound. The fully open-back design of this planar magnetic headphone eliminates the negative sound effects of sound wave reflection, an obstacle that impairs sound quality. Window Shade Design Traditional headphones use a mesh with a lower opening ratio for the grill leading to reflections and refraction detrimental to sound quality. The incredibly light nanometer thickness diaphragm is easily disturbed by sound waves reflected / refracted by the mesh. Therefore, HIFIMAN uses a window shade design to increase the opening rate, maximize the grill exposure and reduce the probability of reflection and refraction. The result: dramatically improved sound quality. However, this window shade design cannot completely avoid reflection and refraction. Only by eliminating the window shade + grill design will near lossless sound quality be achieved. Enhanced Magnet HIFIMAN’s new Ananda Unveiled uses rare-earth-free permanent magnet materials with a precisely engineered shape that reduces distortion and improves sound clarity. This design achieves sensitivity and control on par with rare-earth magnets, while offering a more sustainable, environmentally friendly approach without compromising the planar magnetic performance HIFIMAN is known for. 2nd Generation Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm At the heart of the Ananda Unveiled is HIFIMAN’s second-generation nanometer-thick diaphragm, now just 60% the thickness of the original. This ultra-lightweight membrane further enhances transient response, enabling the driver to reproduce even finer details with greater precision. The reduced mass allows for faster, more accurate movement, translating into improved dynamics, clarity, and immersion.  Magnetic Veils Specially designed Magnetic Veils have been introduced to protect the fully open drivers of the Ananda Unveiled. Specifications Frequency Response: 5Hz-55kHz Sensitivity: 93dB Impedance: 22 ohms Weight: 15.8oz (excluding veils and cable)
