Planar headphones benefit from break-in to achieve optimum perfor-

mance. Usually this takes up to 150 hours however there is nothing 

special you need to do other than enjoy your headphones.

Wipe the surfaces (ear pads, cups) with a microfiber cloth and store 

the headphone in a dry, cool and safe place (away from dust, heat, 

humidity, sunlight, younger kids and pets if possible). For the 

headband, wipe it periodically to remove any dust. 

Do not expose the headphone to excessive heat or cold. 

Do not use any headphone while driving or operating machinery. Do 

not use volatile substances alcohol, acetone, gasoline or dish deter-

gent to clean the headphone. 

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 cables 3.5mm and 6.35mm are user changeable and 

replaceable.  

Be aware the ANANDA is relatively sensitive so please make sure to 

turn the volume dial low before connecting to an audio source.  You 

only have 1 pair of ear drums, look after them.

Please listen to the ANANDA at moderate listening levels so that you 

can continue to enjoy their audio quality for years to come.

The drivers do not require user maintenance, do not touch them.  

Please contact HIFIMAN if your drivers have a problem.
