Product description

About HIFIMAN

Founded by Dr. Fang Bian in 2007, HIFIMAN is widely regarded as one of the leading manufacturers of high performance headphones and portable audio products. HIFIMAN is especially known for its critically-acclaimed Planar-Magnetic headphones that feature state-of-the-art driver technology. The company also designs and manufactures world-class dynamic in-ear drivers which have also garnered awards and rave reviews

Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm based on the famous SUSVARA Design

Much lower distortion, higher transient response, double improvement of dynamics and details.

Since the conductor layer (voice coil) on the diaphragm of the planar headphone is evenly distributed on the surface of the diaphragm, the electromagnetic force that drives the diaphragm to vibrate and pro-duce sound acts much more uniformly than the voice coil acts on the surface of the cone-type diaphragm of the dynamic headphone. Ultimately, the phase distortion is much lower, the spatial information of sound reproduction suffers less loss than dynamic headphones, while providing a much larger sound stage and better positioning.

The result: ANANDA NANO has a wide frequency range — 5Hz to55kHz. The three-dimensional sound field wraps around the listener’s ears, with the positioning and imaging of musical instruments are as precise as if experienced in a live performance.

Stealth Magnet Design

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.

Instructions&Troubleshooting Steps

Please allow for a period of “burn in” where you allow playback of audio for a period of 150 hours to allow the headphones to reach their fullest audio potential.The headphone connectors utilize a new 3.5mm connector (our prior models use 2.5mm). They slot in an identical fashion to the standard 3.5mm sockets as found on a multitude of audio devices.The supplied cable 3.5mm is user changeable and replaceable. A 6.35mm adapter can also be used in addition with the standard 3.5mm jack to enable use on outputs with a 6.35mm socket.Be aware the ANANDA NANO is relatively sensitive so please make sure to turn the volume dial low before connecting to an audio source.Please listen to the ANANDA NANO at moderate listening levels so that you can continue to enjoy their audio quality for years to come.Please refrain from touching the drivers as they do not require user maintenance and any contact may potentially damage the diaphragm.Hissing/buzzing/noise: To prevent any unwanted noise or buzzing in your headphones caused by dust or hair on the membrane, it is recommended to store them in a dry, cool, and safe place.If you happen to notice any dust or hair on the driver, please remove it gently without touching the diaphragm.Sound quality not as expected/muffled sound/too quiet/not functioning: Planar headphones require a break-in period to achieve optimal performance. Typically, this process takes up to 150 hours. It’s important to note that the ANANDA NANO headphones also require an adequate audio source to function properly. Please be aware that your phone or PC may not have sufficient power for the ANANDA NANO headphones.Stopped working/distortion: If you are using an amplifier to drive your headphones, it’s crucial to check the DC voltage of the amplifier. Testing the output of your amplifier is essential to ensure its proper functioning. You can measure the voltage and current delivered to your speakers using a multimeter. For the headphones to be powered correctly without any damage, the multimeter should read less than 10 mV. While a DC voltage of less than 100mV generally doesn’t cause damage, it may degrade sound quality and result in sound distortion.
