Hifiman Ananda Stealth planar magnetic, over ear, open back headphone. This model launched in 2022 at a much higher price and are well loved due to their warmer tuning, but thanks to a significant drop in price in 2025, these are an excellent buy at this reduced price. We feel they set a new bar for performance / value near this price. (In some markets this is called Ananda Stealth V3)
 
Stealth Magnet Technology
By implementing Hifiman's Neo Supernano Diaphragm, Ananda Stealth uses a lightweight, ultra fine planar driver to combine sonic agility and a higher power sensitivity than previous models, making them easier to drive and enjoy. Use Ananda Stealth with desktop amps, portable music players and high power compact dongle dacs.
 
Hifiman's advanced magnet design, Stealth, is used here and is much more acoustically transparent than previous headphone generations. By smoothing the shape of the magnets, Hifiman has dramatically reduced wave diffraction turbulence that degrades the integrity of the sound waves. The reduced distortion produces purer sonic output that is accurate and full-range. 
 
The rear grille uses Hifiman's 'Window Shade' design, allowing for driver protection, reducing distortion from reflections and helping to achieve an open and engaging soundstage. The headband is a wide, soft, suspended strap, with no pressure points and broadly distributed weight across the top of the head. Headband construction uses metal parts with a matt black, durable paint finish. 
 
Large Oval Ear Cups for Comfort
Ananda Stealth uses Hifiman's distinctive large oval ear cup shape, providing ample room for the ear, as well as a wide soft head strap. These 2 design elements add up to outstanding long wear comfort and make the headphone a joy to use. The ear pads and open design help reduce heat build up for improved comfort, especially during summer.
Includes 1.5m cable, with dual 3.5mm plugs into headphone and 3.5mm termination, with 6.35m adaptor.
