Arya Full-size Over Ear Planar Magnetic Audiophile Adjustable Headphone

Best in its class for the price - much more details than other planar headphones 5x its price. Comfort is not as it could be, the adjustment doesn't lock in sometimes it slips. Can be a bit harsh in the treble / high frequency. But you cannot ask for more details at this price point.

I wouldn’t say this is “endgame” quality(to use a community term), but it’s pretty good. Paired it with a battery powered mid sized dac amp playing off of my phone/tablet’s FLAC files. Recommend on sale.

Coming of the heavy LCD X, this felt much lighter and comfortable however I am still getting used to the earcup design where the end rests kind on your neck. The sound is beautiful espcecially when tuned to the harman curve using eq.

….as will the cost of course! But CAUTION: This review is NOT for the Stealth version (update 1/24/22) but the first iteration that I purchased in 2019. I don not believe they are the same however, I would contact HiFiman directly to ascertain same. All that being said, here is my original review: In terms of sheer OVERALL aural pleasure, I doubt that you will find anything better for the price in this universe at least! Nonetheless, I am concerned with the build quality which is a little shoddy! Don't get me wrong, I've had them since early December 2019 and I AM putting them through their paces. A 50 hour burn-in is MY normal burn in time (I know many people think this is pure hogwash, but I've gone down the "big-rig stereo" and "headphone" setups rabbit holes since I was a young fellow, having been in a "basement-band" {not too many garages in Bushwick, Brooklyn in the late 1960's} ) ….having a good sound system was almost mandatory! But, I digressed. Suffice to say that over the years I noticed distinct differences in sound quality after a piece of stereo (even moreso with speakers, headphones and tube amplifiers) equipment had been used for a certain amount of time. Now the ARYA sounded great right out of the box, despite the squeaking headband hinge, but once they are on your head and you've sat down and listening to whatever your pleasure is with them (and TRUST me, ALL genres sound immersive, involving and not TOO resolving- wherein, BTW, lay their true talents)….the squeaking, cheaply made hinge sound goes away and like some transcendent magic you are transported to Alice Tully Hall or The Met or an intimate East Grenwich Village music night spot listening to some great improvisational Jazz, some hot Electric Blues or a lush, mellifluous, Mozart symphony! Now, I have the HiFiman edition X V2 as well and though they are built a TAD better (that's still NOT saying much for Dr. Fang) than the Arya's they don't sound as good. I suppose an extra 4 or 500 dollars gets you that much more quality of music reproduction. BTW,...you will need to upgrade your cable, I have Periapt's that are terminated balanced XLR. I am also using a Monolith Alex Cavalli Liquid Platinum hybrid tube amp., and this combination seems to be extremely well suited towards one another,... with all of my different sets of cans but, even more with the Arya! Once or IF you can get over the build quality issues (I treat all my equipment, especially headphones as if they are delicately made out of 24k gold),...I don't believe there really is any need for more searching. I've spent far too much already "down this hole"{if my wife really knew, I'd probably be sleeping in the basement....told ya, no garages here in Brooklyn.} and I consider this setup END GAME, if you will but, I caution the build quality issue again. Unless you treat these with kid gloves they will break easily, and see what hifiman service department will charge after the 1 year warranty expires! To sum up, I have many sets of headphones (many in the four figure category) that I have acquired "on the journey down the hole!" Wish, I had found the chance to grab the ARYA earlier because they seem to be all I listen to lately,...they really do sound that good. Plenty of soundstage,...(not Giants Stadium soundstage width from the 50 yard line) with a very immersive, intimate, and personal sounding experience with just the right amount of bass. BTW,...you get fantastic detail retrieval, NOT resolution sibilance to the point of fingernails on a blackboard . Every instrument is heard (if the recording is good, obviously), there is plenty of room for each instrument to bloom and have a great deal of air however, sonically, my only gripe is that the Arya's (in some cases anyway) seem to put certain vocalists {noticed more with male than female} further in the background than with other sets of cans. BUT, I suppose it is in order to give more space to all the other instrumentation. I love all genres of music however, in order to give a reference I will use Pink Floyd's "Division Bell" which is a recording I know so well and could rote recite every note and NOW can understand every lyric and sound effect that I never heard or at least never understood before! Even the fly buzzing around in the beginning of the title track has more "prescence" than it ever had before! So, am I happy with them,....yes! Am I happy that I had to pay $1700 for such delicious sounding, cheaply Chinese made FLOTSAM,.....NO,....Not on your life! Nonetheless,.....anybody want to buy some of my other well cared for, gently used headphones? I can use the money! BTW, I do hope this review was HELPFUL?! UPDATE: 5/27/20.....they sound even better as they have matured! Frankly, (because they do leak more than most open backs), unless someone is in the room and they don't mind listening to what I'm enjoying, they are ALL I use now! They are still incredible for the coin spent!

Detay canavarı zor sürülür güçlü bir amfiye ihtiyaç duyuyor fiio Q7, r7,r9 hakkını veriyor kulaklığın.

Hifiman's are always close to great headphones for me, if it wasn't for the sibilance. These hurt my ears and I have to turn down the volume to prevent getting a headache. Which results into the Arya Stealth losing all bass thump and definition, so it sounds cold and bland. The Nano has better bass presence imo, but sadly still with the sharp treble.

Excellent! I'm using them as I write. Listening to Eric Clapton's Reptile album on NAD CD player, through Fiio K9 Pro ESS dac/amp. Superb synergy with stunning instrument and vocal separation. Excellent soundstage and overall balance.

I brought this phone in my 1 year money savings After comparing arya to my hd 598,arya stand out by only marginally. Felt like I paid 90k extra only for soundstage, better low bass ,good imaging. Hd598 stand-out In mid bass and sound resolution and arya lacking it. I don't recommend this to buy if you need more sound resolution. You need to spend another 30k or more on amplifier to sufficiently power arya, I'm using topping a30pro outputs power of 5000mW at 32 ohm and it gave more resolution and clarity. Update after using 1 year(300 hours+ playback) Now i started loving arya V2,it is a combination of ear,brain burning and driver burning made it sound good, the level of separation, distortion free listening is the ultimate joy for ears and even Arya can be EQed to reproduce powerfull midbass of speaker like experience.
