Revolutionary R2R DAC Technology

The Ananda-BT headphones feature HIFIMAN’s proprietary Hymalaya R2R DAC, a significant upgrade for high-fidelity Bluetooth audio. This technology delivers an exceptional boost in audio clarity and depth, ensuring that every note is crystal clear.

HYMALAYA is a discrete R2R DAC (digital-to-analog) module that is based on the FPGA algorithm. The combinations of its low audio frequency range, out-of-band noise, and low energy consumption make it a perfect match for high-performance audio equipment.

The Power of Stealth

Traditional magnets generate sound waves that can introduce interference. The special shape of HiFiMAN's Stealth Magnets enable the waves to pass through without interference. This design is acoustically transparent minimizing the degradation of the sound waves and lowering distortion to produce accurate sonic output.

HIFIMAN's NEO "Supernano" Diaphragm (NSD)

HIFIMAN devoted extensive time and resources to create a nano scale thickness diaphragm that allows for lightning fast response that not only produces stunning levels of details but ultra-low distortion too. Ananda-BT offers performance levels and musical purity that exceed expectations, especially for such an affordable headphone.

High-Resolution Bluetooth Streaming

With full support for high-resolution protocols including LDAC™, aptX™, and aptX-HD™, the Ananda-BT ensures flawless wireless transmission. These protocols provide lossless, high-fidelity sound, compatible with most modern playback devices, ensuring a seamless connection to smartphones, tablets, and computers.

Ananda-BT not only supports Bluetooth playback but also can be directly connected to a device via a USB cable for music playback. Depending upon the actual connection status, the Bluetooth/USB mode will be automatically switched immediately upon Ananda-BT starts to work.

Ergonomic and Comfortable Design

The hybrid structural headband is designed to reduce weight and increase reliability. The asymmetrical ear cups are designed for comfort during extended listening sessions. The ear cups are shaped to mimic the human ear, providing a natural fit that reduces pressure while enhancing sound isolation. The window shade grill design further minimizes sonic reflections, delivering clear and precise sound.

Built-In Microphone

Adopting the most advanced dual-microphone cVc 8.0 noise reduction technology, the built-in microphone provides crystal-clear voice capture, noise echo cancellation, consistently exceptional voice quality, and automatic filtering of multiple types of reverberation noise.
