Daily Use Ananda Nano

It took nearly a week to resolve a few carrier issues with Fedex, but when I eventually got my hands on the Ananda Nano's I was very happy with their build quality. I use these as my daily headphones, and spend upwards of 6 hours per day wearing them. They are snug on the sides, and adjustable vertically, so any discomfort I felt has been ironed out, and I've been very happy since. Sound wise I was happy, but a bit perplexed, as I had to download a mixer program to adjust my computer's output levels. The range for human speech and power-chords in rock songs seemed nigh impossible to hear at first. Boosting those ranges helped quite a bit, and now I have this mixer program running at all times. I use Discord for work, and am in calls often. Microphone quality in calls like these vary wildly, and I've noticed that when someone with a bad microphone speaks, my Ananda Nano's have an odd resonance in the left ear. I've never noticed this in music or in any other sort of listening application though. Overall, I've been happy with this purchase, I've had a few times when listening to music, or when playing games, where I've "felt" sounds coming from behind me and making me turn around to make sure.

Nano's are good.

Good Headphone. Fit is mostly good. They're big. The earcups are quite large, but usually stay in place. They're still breaking in, but, i'm more pleased with the sound as time goes on. A little burn in and patience is needed. I like to eq them just a little, but, for me, they sound fantastic! I'm looking to upgrade my amp/dac next. Sounds good through my Fiio K7 Pro. I then ran them through the Cayin RU7 into the K7, and its a lot better to me, but i feel the Nano's want more. The Nano's sound great though. Nice clear, smooth, detailed sound. Comfort and fit is my only quibble. It's not bad though. Thumbs up!
