Features

  • 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. HIFIMANs 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 Aryas 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 its 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.

  • Everything that music had to offer is available.
Putting on the headphones for the first time, and the first things I thought were: Wow this headphone feels kind weird. It's a bit tight on the clamping force, but somehow feels weightless. Let's listen to some music. Holy mother that is some awesome bass. And the treble extends so far! But it's not bright? It's just clear... but like, the mids are still here, and very present. Everything is here and so clean. Soundstage is good. Good enough for sure. Can soundstage be wider? Oh god that bass. Oh god that treble extension. This kind of went on repeat for the first hours of listening. I think I followed a very traditional audiophile path with SOME things that are a little off the beaten path. I started with the superlux 681 evos when I was super tight on budget. Moved up to the SHP9500 when it was getting all the hype. Then a year or two go by and I get the HD6xx when those were getting mega hyped. after 3 years then I wanted to try planar. Instead of getting the sundara i went with the monolith m1070. Heard it had more body, more warm tonality, something that I did not want to give up from the 6xx. (Still kinda gave some of it up anyway because the 6xx is just that damn smooth). As far as source, I didn't play around with dacs much. Not even really with amps. I didn't want to spend all my money. I had a useful audio interface as a dac. I tried a bravo hybrid amp to get a little bit more soundstage from the 6xx (It helped ever so slightly) and I tried a topping a50s for the planar, because I heard solid state amps were better for planars. So much research because I want every single penny to count. So why then did I spend a thousand bucks on the arya stealth? Well, because of research. This is clearly one of the most beloved headphones ever created, and finally a headphone that could apparently deliver in every category. Something to balance everything out. And it pretty much does it all. I say pretty much mostly because my imagination can get the better of me at times. Remember in the beginning when I said these soundstage okay, then kind of second guess myself? I feel like the danger of doing too much research is that we start filling our heads with ideas that things can be more than what we really can experience at times. When I hear the concept of huge soundstage, my brain exaggerates for a second, like I bet I could hear things that feel like they are 80 yards away! In reality, if there is a lot of music going on, i probably wouldn't notice that sound until it was much closer. Does that make sense? I'm rambling now. Basically, I think for me this is as good as it gets. The soundstage did open up as my ears adjusted. Everything kind of mellowed out to be honest, but all of it is still available when I focus on it. A perfect balance. I like to listen to music while doing art or working on creative things. These headphones allow me the pleasure to still work on those things, but still thoroughly enjoy the music, and pick deeper when I want. I thought instead of explaining the sound, I would explain my experience with these and my journey, since there are already so many reviews available that I think explain their characteristics well. But maybe my story will offer something a little different from the rest. Lastly, because these are so good, I was questioning my source. So yes, I went down the dac and amp road for a bit and ended on an unlikely combo. First, the fiio k7. For pretty much everyone, this will be perfect. Get a balanced cable to go with this and enjoy full bodied bass, a good soundstage, excellent clarity. Honestly, just a good pair with the stealth. (My k7 had a weird channel imbalance on the balanced output, which lead me to other options because of research of course.) Then I tried the soundavo hp-1 with the topping a50s. It was good too, but not quite as resolving as the fiio k7. Soundavo hp-1 sounded like it exaggerated the soundstage, and the center image became a bit muddied. Sound became more speaker like, so it was still pretty darn cool. But not my cup of tea ultimately. (Also had a channel imbalance. Just my luck.) Tried the Xduoo mt-604. Because class A and apparently it does warm things up. It does, but really only a little. What really improved with it was the punch... but the k7 lacked a balanced line out... which leads to my oddball setup that I love. Paired an smsl m300se with the xduoo mt 604. It has clean sound, punchy deep bass. Treble extension is great and the soundstage is on point. For me, this is it. And yes. This is putting this a little over the cost of the arya organic. Have I heard that headphone? nope. Do I want to. Yes. Is it worth the investment and the hassle to try? For right now no. Because I think at some point I can just live knowing that what I have makes me happy. ... show more

  • Amazing, hifi performance. Best choice for most consumers
I got this Arya Stealth headphone on a labor day sale. I was also able to compare to several more expensive headphones like the Hifiman Arya Organic, Hifiman Susvara, the Meze Elite, the Meze Empyrean II, and the Focal Utopia 2016 and 2022 versions. I run the headphone on an iFi iDSD signature edition dac/amp using 4.4mm balance output. While single ended also sounds generally good, there is a significant different in the separation and imaging as well as the impact of the bass so this review will all be referring to using the balanced cable. For critical listening, there is lots of detail, reference quality to my ears. Bass is tight, impactful, and textured and extends low into subwoofer range. For relaxed listening I just find them very enjoyable, providing something I felt like I was missing without ever being harsh. If you are listening to bass heavy tracks like techno, these things to do kick and can get fatiguing at higher volumes and long listens. For everything else it just sounded right to me or I would adjust the volume down a little compared to other music. Classical, pop, hiphop, soul, jazz, gaming are all great on these. Comparisons While some of the more expensive headphones like Focal Utopia and Ayra Organic has some additional detail in the upper range there were a number of times where that sounded overly bright to me. What I think the Arya Stealth do amazing well is give you a taste of that hifi sound and sounding more natural than the other headphones which tend to be more analytical and less enjoyable the longer you listen. I would say my second favorite was the Meze Empyreans II which are more bass heavy. I like the Arya's better because the bass was always tight, impactful and textured. The Meze Empyreans sounded good for most music but for some tracks were a little muddy or overly bassy. I did also try some headphones in the $400-$500 range and was very disappointed with those. This headphone really does hit a sweet spot on price and performance. Despite having the budget for more expensive headphones, these are my favorites of all time. ... show more
