I firmly believe that expensive headphones tend to brightness because the target demographic is older.

Or because those who tune these headphones are older themselves

Tried the Arya Unveiled back in November. They were ok. Didn't love them though. Prefer the HE1000 Stealth and HEKse. The best thing about these Unveiled HIFIMAN headphones is now you can get the others for a Bargain Price as they get reduced!!

[@gatobakuniano]

It's amazing. I got the Arya Stealth for 525€ this last Black Friday. I started into this hobby in 2019. During this time, I couldn't justify to spend between 1000/1500 € on headphones, because I don't use them that much... But for that price I could not resist.

[@belphegor_dev]

Agreed. I much prefer the HE1000 SE. Other audiophiles I asked also think the same.

[@CosmicPotato]

Contemporary Hifiman QC concerns are definitely overblown. Back in the day when they were a much newer brand, yes their QC was not up to snuff. Nowadays, they seem to be on par with similarly popular brands. Their build quality doesn't always feel as premium as other brands, but that could also be said about a brand like Sennheiser which has very good QC. For the unveiled, I personally would not feel comfortable because of its unveiled nature, not because I'd be concerned with Hifiman's QC.

[@mitchy5994]

I'll be completely honest. I've always bought used headphones. My first Arya was the stealth. I've had zero issues with them to this day. My next pair I bought new. I've RMAed my Organics 3 times now due to driver imbalance, low end distortion, and vibration in the driver around 3k hertz respectively. This last pair I've had no issues, but it's only been a month. QC for hifiman is very hit or miss.

[@ReverendDr.Thomas]

All the reviews on this have been extremely positive. Fortunately, I am happy with my HE1000se.

[@cowboyflipflopped]

Contentment is what it's all about!

[@Snxgur]

honestly, i wouldnt compare them at all to the he1000se. the sound is completely different, like he said they are kinda a HD600 successor. the soundstage presentation of the HE1000SE is infinitely bigger than the arya unveiled

[@Spivacus]

Hope you're feeling better Joshua, love your videos, you've helped make my ears happy.

[@moskva-kassiopeya]

Funny, the FR of the Unveiled is almost exactly the same as my EQed Arya Organic. So it’s definitely my type of sound.

I see the JDS Labs Element in one of the b roll shots. Is it the IV? Planning on doing a review?

[@SupplyNinja]

Josh, I still cannot believe that you have never reviewed the HE1000 Stealth. It, to me, has the best tuning of any headphone from any company. To not have that headphone's sound as a point of reference for these reviews is kind of crazy. Anyhow, good vid.

[@cowboyflipflopped]

HEKS = perfection, 10/10, best of the best, get on my level

[@AsmirArifi]

Cant agree more had the Arya Stealth liked them but too claustrophobic staging then tested Arya organic too bright for me and ended up to Hek Stealth and finaly nailed it for me Tremendous Detail but smooth Treble with Bass pefection.

[@priedits]

I don't know, man! I use my HE1000 Stealth maybe once a month :D as for me HE1000 Stealth sounds too hifiish. I prefer a bit more midrange centric sound :(

[@AsmirArifi]

@@priedits i get what you say but midcentric can sometimes be also somewhat problematic of beeing to much or shouty. I find the Heks Midrange almost perfect not too much not too recessed.

[@Froggy_Rocks]

I 100% agree that he should check out that headphone. After trying all Hifiman’s headphones below the HE1000 stealth range, I ultimately gravitated towards this one

[@v000000000000v]

the key thing i think is that theres way less resonsance peaks and dips which make it way better for EQing, hi end planars are made to be EQ'd anyways coz of the super low distortion

[@kenneyt9]

if you put up the graph of the susvara next to the arya unveiled , it's like a cleaner version of the susvara. pretty nuts actually

[@juhan9117]

Would you be able to do a overview of hifiman's new lineup and how their headphones scale with price? With older models decreasing steeply in price and newer models receiving praise, I'd love to know what you think of their entire lineup and what you recommend. Thanks as always

This sound's like exactly what I want from a hifiman arya, the organics were good but too bright and the vocal timbre and dynamics were just slightly lacking for my taste. Will definitely be looking at these in a year or two when they'll most likely drop to around $800, at that price these could be a really compelling value proposition for me and I'm sure others. Also I lowkey dig the look of them. The full black just looks a lot better then the silver.

[@fercho27]

You convinced me when you mentioned that it's comparable to the HD600 but even superior.

[@gldphish6907]

Would it be better to have louder treble and lower that with a high shelf, or to have lower treble and boost that with a high shelf? Or would it make no difference since planars in general seem to take EQ well. I've never found my HE1000 Stealth to be too bright, any less treble and I think I might boost it a bit.

[@mohammedbazhair2000]

Better sources and pads can control the brightness of the organic

[@jonRock]

​​@@mohammedbazhair2000Exactly. I use my Arya Organic with a Denafrips Ares 15th R2R DAC, Astell&Kern AK PA10 class A amp, and Dekoni Fenestrated Sheepskin ear pads. This setup brought the treble down to perfect levels while maintaining the soundstage. Sounds very full and large.

[@dragonsbreath8653]

HIFIMAN Arya Organic has great tuning and there is no brightness, what you write about. HIFIMAN Arya Organic has great high frequencies, providing transparent, light, airy and comfortable sound, and they also have cool and powerful bass, which makes the sound warm. I really like cool bass and transparent sound. HIFIMAN Arya Organic needs to be connected to a good audio amplifier, and then the sound will be gorgeous. Before FiiO K19, I had FiiO K9 Pro ESS, and with FiiO K9 Pro ESS, HIFIMAN Arya Organic headphones sounded terrible, I was shocked. In the audio store I heard great sound, and at home through FiiO K9 Pro ESS the sound was sharp, synthetic, cold and weak bass. I bought FiiO K19, and the sound of HIFIMAN Arya Organic has changed dramatically for the better. The sound became pleasant, comfortable, warm, with good bass and excellent high frequencies. Very realistic sound, especially in computer games, where you can feel incredible space, volume and realism.

[@MartinBaltuhin]

Hey Joshua, I keep seeing reviewers ignoring how do a specific headphone do with different genres. For example, the Stealth is terrible for metal music. Is that the case with the Unveiled?

[@ChrisStoneinator]

Cuz that's not a real thing. Any two albums from any genre can be recorded, mixed, mastered and EQed entirely differently. Even if they're stylistically really similar... You can listen to British Steel by Judas Priest on a certain headphone, think "that sounds as good as I've ever heard it! Let's listen to some more NWOBHM", then put on Denim & Leather by Saxon and find it sounds shit. Another headphone might give you the opposite experience. Outside of spatial resolution being important for orchestras, and bass quantity being important for the bulk of EDM, there's really no rhyme or reason. Heck, the most fun I've ever had with 2001 by Dr Dre was on a pair of Stax.

Thanks for covering pros AND cons! Very much enjoy sound quality of Edition XS. But they arrived new with small cracks in the plastic, no travel case, and no 4.4mm. I would assume 'unveiled' would be bigger soundstage, but description like claustrophobic isn't promising. Seems like so many sub thousand models to choose from, anything above that needs to be amazing or buyers will pass or delay. Especially with HiFiMan's newly set precedence of big price discounts down the road.

[@fuechse7848]

The question between the clear and arya imo is in the resolution not detail. The clear has very good dynamic range which can make details quieter, so it’s possible to have more resolution yet less detail. Even vs the HD600 sometimes the clear sounds like much much more resolution but some details harder to hear cause they’re so quiet compared to the 600. I’ve only heard the clear, so I would love if someone who has heard both headphones can talk about resolution instead of detail.

[@TheMafuri]

I love the amazing soundstage of the Organic. It would be hard for me to buy something more "intimate".

[@pavelmarchev1468]

So it is basically on par with the rest of the open-back headphones in this price range? Does it beat the other open-back headphones in this price range in any category? I'm confused why I should buy those... Does it have much, much better detail, punch and soundstage than my Focal Clear for example? Please, make sure you compare to other big players with similar great FR graph and features in its PRICE RANGE.

It feels like a soundstage string passing through my had and the there are a bloop of sound just outside of my head. So the soundstage is sort of dumbbell shaped (hope the description makes sense). I will prefer to live with everything staying inside my head instead. The original Susvara has zero or substantially less of this, but the price is difficult to justify.

Well I'm 3 days into ownership of this after a truly awful, but thankfully brief, period with a pair of Arya organics (between recessed vocals and painful treble unbearable). They sounded a little tame for the 1st 48 hours but have now come alive. Addresses all issues I had with the organic and are also less bright than the Ananda Nano's I traded in. All together a very well balanced, fast and natural sounding headphones. Is it worth the price increase over the Nano's, which I owned and loved for 18 months (used 8+ hours a day) ?

I bet an Arya Organic sounds better than this when hooked up to a high-end R2R DAC, class A amplifier, and Dekoni Fenestrated Sheepskin ear pads. Will probably sound just as full and meaty, but with a better soundstage.

[@FabioGrenkh]

Why the Fenestrated Sheepskin especially? Judging from the Comparison on Dekonis website the Elite Hybrid seems to have the exact same FR, but with a bit less treble?

[@jonRock]

@FabioGrenkh Because it has something that can't be measured by FR, and it's a more open sound. Since the fenestrated sheepskin has a more open sound, it doesn't affect the soundstage as much as the hybrid elite despite being thinner than the pads that came with it.

[@russell5244]

I mean, that's mainly why Sennheiser has been selling the same headphone for more than 20 years and increasing their price year after year with technology from the 2000s. They don't want to create new types of technology and develop because many people still buy their stuff. It's called technology advancement, which many headphone companies do not want to follow because it's easier to sell a $30 cost-to-build HD600/650 for $500 and keep selling them for another 20 years.

[@RNeeko]

Here's the thing. You could've bought the first Arya and still be fine today. YOU DO NOT NEED TO UPGRADE AND NO ONE IS GOING TO MAKE YOU. For everyone else they'll make some tweaks with every version that might convince someone to finally buy one. The Arya Unveiled is one of the smoothest measuring HiFiMAN headphones ever released period.

[@RaKnows]

Except the fact that Hifiman has never once posted a single piece of PR claiming that one revision was better than its predecessor, only different. They leave it up to the people to decide which one the individual likes best. They also release every Arya no more expensive that the original Arya. No one has to "upgrade", because they have never called them upgrades in the first place. There are still people who prefer the Arya V1 to everything that followed. I don't fault Hifiman or Dr. Fang Bian for continuing to tinker. You cite Meze when they literally release an Empyrean 2 shortly after the first at an even higher price. Sennheiser has more 600-series variants than Hifiman has Aryas. What's the difference?

There are three major issues with your reviews recently. First, your reviews have become more general and less audiophile-focused with each video you publish. You miss tons of information in your videos, such as bass definition, speed, texture, bass reverb, scale, midrange clarity, space, sound height, and treble area information like the leading edge and overall information extracted from audio files. Second, you keep changing the cables to aftermarket ones. The cable change affects the sound significantly, and I don't understand why reviewers change the cable when they review it. HiFiMan's own cable is much better tuned with their headphones than many of the $1000 cables I have tested. You show the headphones with aftermarket cables. Third, you didn't mention what source you used. Aune and Topping are awful sources with HiFiMan headphones. You used a $700 Aune source with their super flagship Susvara Unveiled , which ruined the headphone. You should ask HiFiMan to send the Serenade + Prelude for reviewing their headphones. You're making more and more general content without going into the details for such products that need a lot more information shared about them. Don't just compare them with the $180 HD6XX and call it a day.

[@RaKnows]

"The cable change affects the sound significantly.....HiFiMan's own cable is much better tuned with their headphones than many of the $1000 cables I have tested" Sorry but if you really believe this, you are too far lost in audio myth to be worth taking seriously.

[@WatchesAndAudio]

Yeah, what a bad take comment. First off, Josh has never went into that much detail regarding specific characteristics for sound. He's always been an amazing B roll, general specs and opinion. I've been watching every video he puts out for years. Secondly, cables don't do f*** all. The only benefit to a cable is how flexible or ropey they are. I've had custom cables, stock cables, hell, even cryogenically treated cables with silver instead of copper, and they are all exactly the same.
