The Hifiman Arya (Stealth Magnets Version) delivers an extraordinarily detailed, clear, natural, and dynamic sound, giving the listener the feeling of being in the midst of a live concert. The bass of the Arya sounds warm, clear, precise, and powerful, but not dominating or overly bass-heavy. The mids are characterized by very high detail and sound fidelity. They sound full and articulate, creating an engaging and captivating experience when combined with the warm, powerful bass. The highs are simply breathtaking: voices and instruments sound silky smooth, present, and emotive. This results in a wonderfully balanced overall picture with an airy, expansive soundstage, suitable for all music genres.
The Hifiman Arya headphones use an ultra-thin diaphragm to produce sound. In general, with planar magnetic headphones, the thinner the diaphragm, the lower the mass, which leads to a faster response and reduced distortion. In the case of the Arya, the diaphragm is so thin that it operates in the nanometer range and is invisible to the naked eye. The Arya also features a Stealth Magnets design. The special construction of the magnets allows sound waves to flow through them without generating interference. This ensures particularly accurate sound across the entire frequency range. The patented Window Shade grille prevents unwanted vibrations and distortions, resulting in a very wide and open soundstage.
The 1.5-meter headphone cable is made of crystalline copper, features a 6.3 mm jack, and connects to the ear cups with two 3.5 mm plugs. The comfortable headband is lightweight and easily adjustable in size. The soft, angled ear cushions provide optimal weight distribution and maximum comfort, even after hours of listening enjoyment.
