Audio46's Opinion

The Hifiman Ananda Unveiled is an incredibly wide headphone. This is a characteristic that is consistent in the unveiled lineup. The signature is well balanced across the frequency range, though upon a first listen there was quite a bit of treble peakiness that was too sharp for my liking. Not a lot of headphones require a burn-in, but the Ananda Unveiled do perform better after they've been running for a bit. The bass doesn't come to the front and take over in a track, but it does lay a nice foundation to give good balance through the whole signature. The midrange is the most forward in this headphone's signature, showing off the impressive attention to detail and clarity amongst the different instruments. With transparency and pinpoint detail accuracy, this headphone doubles as an entertaining listening experience and a tool for the analytical listener.

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.

Regular Headphones Window Shade Design UNVEILED
Commonplace products use mesh with a lower opening ratio as grill that leads to reflections and refraction that are detrimental to sound quality Since the nanometer thickness diaphragm is very light in weight, it is easily disturbed by sound waves reflected and 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. The design of the window shade cannot completely avoid reflection and refraction. Only by eliminating the window shade/grill design will near lossless sound quality be achieved.
