Didn't find the Ananda Stealth mind-blowing at first, but after a week with it their original headphones paled.

positive

Has the Ananda Stealth and likes it a lot: incredible soundstage, though it needs a lot of current and they EQ in more bass.

positivewide soundstage

Got the Ananda Stealth and absolutely loves it for gaming and music, EQing for bass when needed.

positive

Had the Edition XS, Ananda Stealth and now the Ananda Nano, and recommends skipping the Ananda Stealth for the Nano.

negative

Got the Ananda Stealth for 192 euros and finds it different but good coming from their Cloud Alpha.

positive

Tried both and preferred the Ananda Stealth, which sounded more controlled and natural, with much better comfort than the Edition XS.

positivecomfortable

Loves everything about the Ananda Stealth's sound, but its 398 g weight hurts their injured neck.

mixeduncomfortable

The Ananda Stealth V3 was their favourite of the cheaper HiFiMAN models before they moved up to the Arya Organic.

positive

Their Ananda Stealth on a Jotunheim 2 sounds great but sometimes a tad too bright and detailed.

mixedbrightdetailed

The Ananda Stealth V3 is their first real headphone and they are fascinated.

positive

Is very happy with the Ananda Stealth's stock tuning and soundstage without EQ, after the HD560S and several Beyerdynamics.

positivewide soundstage

Moved from the DT990 Pro to the Ananda Stealth V3 and is happy with the detail but finds the tuning fatiguing without EQ.

mixeddetailed

Really enjoys their Ananda Stealth on a HiBy R6 III.

Their Ananda Stealth runs a little bright but doesn't need EQ, and is more energetic than the HD 6XX.

positive

The Ananda Stealth is basically the Edition XS but a bit brighter, without the treble peak the XS has for them.

positive

Owns both: the Arya Stealth is maybe 20 percent better, but the Ananda Stealth is half the price.

positivegreat value

Their refurbished Ananda Stealth was good value at about 150 euros, but needed Dekoni nuggets to stop jaw pressure.

mixedgreat value

Their Ananda Stealth has a tonal character they like, but with the brightness and forwardness of most HIFIMANs.

mixedbright

Their Ananda Stealth has survived four years of drops and a German shepherd and still sounds great, apart from a headband they broke themselves; comfortable for years.

positivecomfortable

Prefers the Ananda Stealth over the Ananda Nano, which is too harsh for them.

positive

Got the Ananda Stealth but couldn't get used to its sibilance and rumbling, artificial-sounding bass, and went back to the HD 650 on a Crack amp.
