About this item

  • Acoustically Invisible Stealth Magnet: Unlike the sound waves created by a conventional magnet, the special shape of Stealth Magnets enables the waves to pass through the magnets without generating interference. HIFIMAN’s advanced magnet design is acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing wave diffraction turbulence that degrades the integrity of the sound waves. The reduced distortion yields pure sonic output that is accurate and full-range.
  • Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm A breakthrough core technology developed by HIFIMAN and first of its kind in headphone application. Working with this advanced material is extremely challenging yet the successful incorporation of this film as the Arya’s planar driver is the cornerstone of its remarkable sound.
  • Metal and High-Grade Plastic Construction: HIFIMAN designed the Arya's high-quality metal headband with extra strength and a special high-grade plastic for lightweight comfort and rugged durability. Sturdy 3.5mm User-replaceable Connector Design allows easy cable swapping, giving both maximum durability and enhanced customizability.
  • Patented “Window Shade” System: Created to meet the need for driver protection and an optimized open-back design. Asymmetrical Ear Cups: Follows the natural shape of the human ear. Cable: The Arya keeps things simple with a single Crystalline Copper cable. Featuring a 6.35mm plug and a jet black woven exterior finish it’s the perfect complement to the sound and sight of the Arya.
  • Bold Black Aesthetic: With its classic HE1000-style shape combined and striking good looks of its all-black exterior, glossy black headband, and eye-catching matte-black cups and grill, the Arya is a statement of both aesthetic and sonic excellence.

    Returned- due to fitment and style---the sound is not enough to cut it for me.Hat size 71/4... HIFIMAN needs to offer a different headband size as an option for the Arya, if you have a small head you will look crazy with these on!“It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.” Benjamin Franklinmy translationYou can do as much good to provide a product and one bad feature can diminish your product line.(*****)Price: *** (I would not pay over $1300 for these and I did not)Presentation** (Compare to five star Sony or Focal price range)Accessories -* (Bad audio cable and only one; no replacement ear pads)Quality *** (Seem well built but the plastic and cheap looking headband does not match the price)Weight ***( On the heavy side, lighter than LCD-X and Focal)Comfort **** (DT1990 are the best)Fitment *(These are not a one size fit all)Protection ** (No carrying case)Sources ***** (PC Gaming, Mobile, DAC, AMP)Balance ***** (no sound advantage)Unbalance ***** (no sound advantage)Sound***** (Away- full- surrounding, not up in your face)Burn in (N/A, they may get better overtime )My dislike, these are huge in size, to the point where the sound is hard to justify me keeping them. With that being said the sound is incredible. I had the Sundara and returned them the same day due to the fitment and the sound did not meet my expectations. When I ordered the Arya I already had bias on HIFIMAN products. So I took a chance on Arya and was blown away to say the least about the sound.When they are on my head it does not "sound" like a single note or sound would come out, until it does...... and WOW.They have a very transparent sound, everything can be heard from both sides of the earcups, nothing is enclosed. You would think this would have an effect on bass and mid....nope. This joker punches.I returned HD800s/HD8XX....as there was no comparison, whoever gave the HD800 series the crown must have hearing problems. HD800s are very thin sounding without boost. The fitment of the HD800s are horrible, comfortable but horrible and the sound does not excuse them to be kept.I kept the HD650 just for sport, there is no comparison as well. Other than that the fitment is perfect against the HD800, Arya and Z1R.Here is the problem...if you pay $800~$1500+ for headphones and then you are told you need to pay another $400-$2000 more to unlock the potential of the headphones, for bass, mid or terrible via DAC or AMP. I recommend you return them ASAP. The juice is not worth the squeezeThe Arya out of the box works well on my Sony Xperia 1 III, well the truth is it does lack boost volume. But every note was heard without struggle...just low in volume.I am a performance arts music major and elite gamer. So I would not try to get in the realm of audiophiles. But I have a very good ear...so I do not need to run headphones through sound equipment to determine its tolerance. And I am not one to say a higher price headphone would make it the "Endgame."Example: I have Sony Z1R and SonyZ7 m1......one costs 3x more than other.. but the cheaper one is built better and sounds better. Go figure....I would only recommend these at a lower price point $1100-$1250 or HIFIMAN make improvements like:Headband sizingHeadband LeatherAluminum Parts (yoke, cans)Audio cable(s) 7n OFC (At this price should not even have to be suggested)Carrying case (At this price should not even have to be suggested)
