The HIFIMAN Ananda hits $249 at Amazon, and nothing at this price competes with planar magnetic drivers
HIFIMAN Ananda drops to $249 (38% off): open-back planar magnetic, Stealth Magnet drivers
HIFIMAN Ananda deal

Planar magnetic headphones used to be the kind of thing you'd spend $500 or more to get into. The HIFIMAN Ananda changed that conversation when it launched, and at $249, it moves that conversation further still. That's $150 off its $399 list price for a full-size open-back planar magnetic headphone that competes with options costing considerably more, and it's the deal I'd point any serious listener toward right now.
