Review on 🎧 HIFIMAN Arya Over-Ear Planar Magnetic Audiophile Headphone - Full-Size & Adjustable by George Matthews

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really amazing headphones and best with some EQ

I did a great deal of research before purchasing the Hifiman Arya headphones. This initially consisted of many hours of Youtube listening by qualified people doing comparisons and reviews. My favorite columnist on Youtube was Joshua Valur. I paired the Arya with an SMSL M400 DAC and a Monoprice Monolith THX amp (both best in class for their price and found on Revain). After setting everything up, I absolutely loved Aryas. The amount of detail, wide soundstage and airy feel of the music was unlike anything I had heard before. But what really added the icing on the cake was the right Aryas EQ. Arya headphones have been taken to a whole new level with Reddit's Oratory1990 parametric EQ settings. A little more bass, a lot more clarity in the midrange and a taming of the highs. I can listen to music at a moderate volume for over 10 hours a day without tiring on this setting. Yes, you can spend more on headphones, but I think the Aryas can't be beat at this price point. And the Arya headphones are Crinacle's #3 best headphones at ANY price. Wonderful. Strong buy recommendation, but spend the extra cash on a good 10-band parametric EQ plug-in for your computer. The only thing I have is the build quality. A little more plastic than I'd like, so I picked up the Revain with a 3-year warranty, which struck me as an exceptional deal.

Pros
  • Lots of good vibes
Cons
  • Fits
