Given enough power to drive them, they deliver sound akin to having an over-caffeinated neighbor showing up at your house to party on an early Sunday morning.
The Arya’s presentation can be overwhelming until you adjust to the intensity, extreme detail, and clarity. That’s how dramatic the sound of the Arya is compared to lesser “normal” headphones. The Arya present every layer in revealing detail and translate the tracks’ high energy directly into what I’m hearing.Ī comparison is to listen to something on AM radio, then switch to FM. These tracks also feature sweet and soothing vocals. Moonchild, Beyond The Comfort Zone, and Water are lush soundscapes with trance-familiar bass, treble, and dynamics. Their first EP, titled Water, features four tracks. The Arya ear cups will articulate in any direction, though the headband does not fold. In early 2020, a trance genre super-trio composed of Ilan Bluestone (UK), Emma Hewitt (Australia), & Maor Levi (Israel) released their collaborative project called Elysian. Let’s kick off today’s global music journey a bit early with a great illustration of these characteristics. Spoiler alert! What about the “wow” factor of the sound, you ask? The vivid clarity, detail, and intensity are all shocking. They are impressive to behold and to place on one’s head and certainly a unique addition for many headphone collectors.
This is the most underwhelming packaging I’ve seen in this price bracket.”.My first wow responses to the Arya that strike me immediately: “Wow!… HIFIMAN Arya Stealth Magnet Version Sound.Perhaps you’re wondering if I’ll be blown away in my very first listen. Or maybe, you’re actually like me, never having experienced an Arya or anything from HiFiMan’s higher altitude product line. You’re an owner of an earlier generation of Arya, wondering if you should replace it with this new Stealth Magnet version.You own this model and are seeking (even more) confirmation of your brilliance, excellent taste, and significant purchase decision you will either enthusiastically agree with me or invite me out back for a “conversation”.You know what these are because you’ve seen endless postings, pictures, articles, videos, and ads about them.You’re curious about the price of said alien hardware.The unique alien-like shape and look of these headphones.The funny, catchy title you couldn’t resist.As is my standard, I did not read or watch any reviews of the Arya before my evaluation.Īs I muse and compose, there are many reasons I imagine you’re here with me, including: How long do you plan on listening each day? Are you good about keeping your wireless devices charged, or do you need wireless headphones that can go for long stretches of time without being plugged in? Be honest with yourself on this one, or you’ll just be frustrated later.First, a sincere thank you to HIFIMAN for providing a loaner unit and allowing Headphonesty to review the Arya Stealth Magnet Version. If you choose wireless, notice the battery life. If both connection methods sound appealing, consider a pair that can work both wired and wirelessly, but be sure to check whether some features are disabled in wired mode. Still, many people love the freedom and convenience that wireless headphones bring, especially now that headphone jacks are disappearing from smartphones. And with wired headphones, you don’t have to worry about charging a battery. Among the reasons for the comeback is that, generally, wired has better audio performance for less money, since the cost goes mainly into tuning, drivers, and design, instead of features like Bluetooth. Wired or wireless? Wired headphones recently had a resurgence in popularity.
