From HiFiMAN
The HiFiMAN Arya has become a household name in the audiophile community and for good reason. The latest Arya is the culmination of HiFiMAN's commitment to performance and re-engineering. Never before has a company brought this kind of Planar performance at this price point. Fast, wide soundstage and mind-blowing detail make the Arya a must-listen. HiFiMAN Arya features a driver based on the HE1000 V2 headphones, one of the best drivers on the market, which raises the sonic characteristics to a considerably higher level than similarly priced products.
"When we first developed Stealth Magnets, I knew the design held tremendous value for the pro audio market. Our experience working and reworking the technology until we reached sonic perfection gave us the ability to adapt many of the same technical features in a headphone that is accessible to a wider audience of music lovers."
Dr. Fang Bian - President, and CEO, HiFiMAN Electronics
With an ergonomic design to comfortably fit most listeners, the Arya incorporates unique HiFiMAN features such as the patented “window shade” system that reduces reflections to widen the soundstage. A super-thin diaphragm guarantees faster response and bare minimum distortion.
As with all new HiFiMAN products, the Arya features 3.5mm headphone connectors that are angled at 10°, thereby lessening the pressure points associated with straight-angled connectors. These pressure points sometimes stress the connection, but the new design ensures a solid, reliable and long-lasting link between the headphone and the cable.
The Power of Stealth
Traditional magnets generate sound waves that can introduce interference. The special shape of HiFiMAN's Stealth Magnets enable the waves to pass through without interference. This design is acoustically transparent minimizing the degradation of the sound waves and lowering distortion to produce accurate sonic output.
Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm
A breakthrough core technology developed by HiFiMAN, it’s the first of its kind in headphone applications. Working with this advanced material is extremely challenging, but the successful incorporation of this film as the Arya’s planar driver is the cornerstone of its remarkable sound.
Advanced Asymmetrical Magnetic Circuit
Years of research into planar driver optimization led HiFiMAN to utilize an asymmetrical design with smaller magnets on the ear-facing side. This reduces interference in sound wave transmissions from the diaphragm.
Metal and High-Grade Plastic Construction
HiFiMAN designed the Arya’s high-quality metal headband with extra strength in view and a special high-grade plastic for lightweight comfort and rugged durability.
Bold, Black Aesthetic
With its class HE1000-style shape and the strikingly good looks of its all-black exterior, the Arya is a statement of both aesthetics and sonic excellence.
