Quick Answer: JNH Lifestyles and Dynamic both sell budget-to-mid infrared cabins in the same roughly $2,200-$2,700 range, but the two brands win on different things. JNH’s Ensi line tests to a 0.32 mG average (Intertek and Vitatech) — well under Dynamic’s Ultra Low EMF spec of under 3 mG. Dynamic’s entry-tier Andora ($2,300-$2,400) bundles red-light therapy and Bluetooth speakers standard; JNH’s similarly-priced Joyous 2-Person High-Heat ($2,499) doesn’t include either. The two brands also sit in completely different corporate structures: Dynamic is one tier of Golden Designs, Inc.’s three-brand family (with Maxxus and Golden Designs as siblings), while JNH Lifestyles is independent with no sister brands to fall back on.
Both names show up constantly in budget infrared-sauna research, and shoppers often assume they’re interchangeable because they land in the same price bracket. They aren’t — here’s where they actually differ.

EMF: JNH’s tested number beats Dynamic’s “Ultra” tier
This is the clearest hardware difference between the two brands, and it’s a little counterintuitive given the names involved. Dynamic markets its lowest-emission tier as Ultra Low EMF, specified at under 3 mG at 6-8 inches from the panels per Golden Designs, Inc.’s own published figures. JNH doesn’t use “Ultra” anywhere in its branding — its equivalent tier is just called Ensi — but Ensi’s heaters carry independent third-party testing from Intertek and Vitatech showing a 0.32 mG average. That’s roughly 9x lower than Dynamic’s Ultra Low EMF spec. The takeaway: a tier name with “Ultra” in it isn’t a guarantee of the lowest number on the market, and an independently-tested figure from a less decorated brand name can beat a bigger manufacturer’s in-house spec.
JNH Lifestyles Ensi 2-Person Cedar Far-Infrared Sauna
- Eight carbon fiber heaters independently tested to 0.32 mG average — not just a marketing claim.
- Red Cedar cabinetry, a step up from the Hemlock used on JNH's cheaper Joyous line.
- Roughly $800 more than Dynamic's Ultra Low EMF Gracia, for a tested spec about 9x lower.

Price-matched, feature-mismatched: the Andora vs. the Joyous 2-Person
Line the two brands’ closest-priced 2-person cabins up side by side and the gap isn’t in the heaters — it’s in what ships standard. Dynamic’s Andora ($2,300-$2,400) includes built-in red-light therapy and Bluetooth speakers at that price. JNH’s Joyous 2-Person High-Heat ($2,499) — $100-$200 more — ships with carbon far-infrared heaters and a 170°F ceiling, but no red-light panel on any tier, and Bluetooth audio only shows up once you climb all the way to JNH’s $5,199+ Tosi line. If red-light therapy or built-in sound matter to you, Dynamic delivers them at a lower price point than JNH does at any comparable capacity.
Dynamic Andora 2-Person Low EMF Far-Infrared Sauna
- Red-light therapy panel and Bluetooth speakers built in — standard at this price, not an upsell.
- Canadian Hemlock construction, tempered-glass door, standard 120V plug-and-play.
- Cheaper than JNH's closest-capacity Joyous 2-Person High-Heat, with more included hardware.
Two different companies behind two similar-sounding lineups
The part most shoppers miss: Dynamic isn’t a standalone company. It’s one of three sister brands — Dynamic, Maxxus, and Golden Designs — all built by Golden Designs, Inc., a 100,000+ square-foot Ontario, California facility that’s North America’s largest infrared sauna supplier by its own account. If a Dynamic model sells out, the equivalent Maxxus is the same lineage a tier up, with nicer trim for roughly $300 more. JNH Lifestyles has no such safety net — it’s an independent company with its own three-tier Joyous/Ensi/Tosi structure and no sister brand to fall back on if a specific model is backordered. Neither structure is better on its face, but it matters if you’re hoping to find a near-identical fallback when your first choice is out of stock.
The bottom line
Buy JNH Lifestyles — specifically the Ensi 2-Person Cedar at $3,499 — if independently-tested low EMF is the deciding factor and you’re willing to pay a premium over Dynamic’s in-house Ultra Low EMF spec to get it. Buy Dynamic — specifically the Andora at $2,300-$2,400 — if you want red-light therapy and Bluetooth bundled in at a lower price, or if you’d rather buy into a three-brand family (Dynamic/Maxxus/Golden Designs) with a built-in upgrade path.
