ANANDA NANO (open-box)

The Ananda Nano are fantastic headphones for high-quality music listening. In terms of sound, they outperform headphones in the same price range—and even in higher price categories—by a wide margin (but please don’t raise the price :-)). And I’ve tested a lot of headphones.
They are quite heavy, so I use them mainly when I have time and peace to focus on the music. I tried using them while working, but over longer sessions they put strain on my neck, which isn’t ideal.
The open-box unit was flawless. I would appreciate if the connectors were marked L and R more clearly and visibly. It would also be great if they came with a balanced-output cable included.
I also tested them with various portable DACs, and I can recommend the iFi Hip-Dac 3—it sounds excellent with these headphones. These headphones allow me to enjoy music in an unexpectedly amazing dimension.
