For me, the best part of the Organic and the Unveiled is that they reduced prices on the Stealth. I got the Arya Stealth, this past Black Friday for 525 €. It's not my preferred sound signature. I like something more relaxed and warm, because I mainly listen to music at night, to relax... but I can't deny that they sound fantastic. Nothing sounds bad on them, only bad produced music.
@Sam-l8m8l I like the Audeze LCD2C and the Modhouse Argon MkIII. They more like a comfortable berlina, while the Arya are more like a sports car... Sometimes you don't need the hard, precise but uncomfortable suspension...
See if you can curb the excess 5khz a bit. I did actually try to do this with a specific paper insert but the cups are so large it was difficult to get it to stay in the right spot. I imagine it's doable though!
@@RaKnows I have owned both (and other hifiman), it's not necessarily an upgrade. Overall, I think Stealth might be slightly better, honestly. HE1000 Stealth is a better version of the Organic (better treble with similar low-end IMO).
this is probably the most sophisticated and mature format of headphone reviewing IMO. informative, comprehensive and reliable. just one thing to note... I think channel imbalance shown on measurements in upper midrange is significant enough to at least mention it in the review. it actually is evident on all Unveiled Line up. these are expensive products to have such problems.
This is why i have always loved hifiman. They often have a combination of head to head consistency and upper treble accuracy that make them as good a platform for EQ as you can get. With this model, they've made it even easier to EQ the treble, so I can see why resolve loves them so much
@FabioGrenkh Haven't tried it so i can't say. But I didn't find the Arya v1 or stealth too hard to EQ. Same goes for the old he1000v2. The way i fix bass bloat is usually to cut the boost off at a lower frequency. It can help to use 2 or 3 filters to get the shape just right. Could also have something to do with a lack of seal on the pads, but idk.
Great review! I love the comparison with the Susvara! I do hope you all get to listen to the last he1000se Hifiman made. I bought one during black Friday and it's become my favorite headphone, even more so than the Tungsten DS.
One more comment; I don’t mind the plastic at all. Seems high quality and keeps them light. I have a smaller head , and as a woman, fit is often an issue. I review headphones for an online magazine, and maybe I have the opposite issue as Cameron…
Resolve gets my OG Susvara when I die whether he wants them or not but meanwhile it is important to remember that insect season is only a few months away and the Unveiled series is susceptible to being pierced by mosquito bites, not to mention what larger bugs might do should they fly into the cups.
Tried the Arya Unveiled in November. Good headphone, but didn't blow me away. Still prefer the HE1000 Stealth and HEKse which at times give a "Wow" factor with certain music genres. Try to demo the Arya Unveiled before pulling the trigger and taking a leap of faith. It's a bit over hyped imo
Good discussion. I particularly appreciated Golden"s sobering approach to and articulation of challenges to EQ-ing headphones as well as the limitations of reviewing EQ-ed headphones, given vagaries of HRTF! Kudos. Andrew is fun as always to listen to.
Very interesting. Anything about the bass since OG Arya for me was bad EQ'd to Harman and HE1000se was a bit mid as well and I'd take an Ananda Nano over both because of that.
I have the ananda Nano and was thinking of upgrading to the HE1000 stealth or HE1000se ... I quite like the bass in Ananda Nano. Maybe I should keep the Nano...
I upgraded from Nano to Unveiled. Unveiled does actually appear to be a Nano but better ie no treble peakiness and bass hits surprisingly hard. Is the Unveiled 3x better than Nano - No but I'm happy and this is now my endgame headphone. Nano is stunning value for money especially at its current price.
I bough a Arya Stealth about 2 and a half years ago, based on how much they've been discounted since I can wait for these to be similarly discounted. Or for HE1000SE to come down a little further. I'm a fan of the spaciousness, on occasion though about trying to get a pre stealth Arya as their said to be even more spacious.
You bought it 2 and a half years ago, and are still using that same Arya Stealth? Curious to know because I am looking at buying one, but am worried they won't last very long.
@HeebieGenie I have owned a OG Ananda for about two years before that and HE400i for about 3 years before that. They all still work just as well as when I first got them. I've personally never experienced QC issues with Hifiman.
Although I am very careful with my headphones (and gear generally) I still don't fancy the 'unveiled' concept as sods law will dictate something will go through the driver. Plus I really feel the benefit (if any) must be so miniscule over a well designed grill as to not worth the risks.
Right now the Arya Unveiled and the HE1000 Stealth are not too distant in price. Which would be the choice there? I’m wanting to move on from the Arya Stealth and I was headed to the HE1000 Stealth before this review. The challenge for me is that I am more bass-focused. My genres are mainly dance/pop/house/electronic. I like detail but I can find brightness abrasive. So, sometimes I feel I have to take some reviews with a pinch of salt for my taste. My test tracks are things like “Replay” by Lady Gaga, which I think spans the full human audible range but its star of the show is the big bass for the choruses. Even Lady Gaga’s newer effort, “Disease”, also seems determined to showcase what’s possible in terms of range in single pop song. So, I want to hear the detail but I still wanna have that banger in the imaginary-club-in-my-head moment. I finally saw a reviewer choosing the HE1000 Stealth for my genres over the HE1000se and that brought some clarity there… but now this review has me questioning whether I need to stay with the Arya range and seriously consider the Unveiled. I only discount it a little because I’m not sure our music preferences are align-able. I also did not like how adjusting the Arya Stealth resulted in the black paint being scratched off the headband on day one and every time there after. So, I was hoping the quality improvement would make the HE1000 Stealth the right choice for my budget just now.
Great review! Enjoyed as usual. You guys really get me thinking about going into EQ. I have roon EQ but don’t know where to start. Can u show me the rope?
I wonder the same… Have watched countless EQ videos, but still have no clue. Especially when people talk about fixing headphones with EQ by finding their „personal peaks and dips“. Like, how the hell am I supposed to do that?
Just look at a Frequency Response graph showing where all the peaks and dips are, find that on the EQ range, then play with the sliders until it sounds good to you. It takes a bit of trial and error, but I think it's fun. I've always been a bit of a tinkerer, so I suppose it depends on your ability to figure things out.
imo, as clear as any review could get for all we currently know about HPs, HRTFs, HPTF, and EQ and its general and specific effects when applied to a discussion of the Arya unveiled's merits for the wider audience. I feel that the onus of comprehension would lie more on anyone criticising the information in this video than on how said info was delivered. that being said, there are many parallels to be drawn regarding people's opinions on the subjective experience of audio and life in general, especially considering the varying duality of arrogance & ignorance and how those scales tip.
"Formally, a single Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) is defined to be a specific individual's left or right ear far-field frequency response, as measured from a specific point in the free field to a specific point in the ear canal." tldr ears are shaped differently and are basically, along with the HP, the room for the listening experience. So anyone's experience with a HP could vary significantly from one another.
See the price of your tall heads, is that someone like me wearing the same headband, will look like a Teletubbie or Cyberman with that big antennae arc going over the head - so I very much miss the original HE500 style headbands...
I have the Arya stealth, but my favourite is the HE6 (six screw), because it’s such a rude boy. What’s the slam on these, compared to the Arya stealth (with PEQ)?
About to dump $2,000 on some headphones and I need a suggestion between these and the Mod House Tungsten. Actually bought an amp powerful enough for the Tungsten in advance, but since then I ended up grabbing some Edition XS, and absolutely love how open they sound (even more open than my HD800s and DT1990s) with my Realiser A16 for movies. Timbre isn't really an issue because the A16 already does a headphone EQ by default, so it's more the physical characteristics that separate them that will determine how open they sound compared to one another. The Edition XS just sound a lot more "speaker like" in that regard, but I've not heard the Tungsten yet, but also wanted a headphone that sounds good for music without the need to EQ.
What’s the best hifiman oval headphone that can be fixed with chord mojo 2 eq? HSK filter at 3000khz Q factor of .71. And a peak filter at 20000khz q of .71.
But, many headphones are a bit lacking in fit and need one more notch or click to snug up the fit properly. HIFIMAN’s headphones have always fit me. I asked Dr. Bian if he takes women into account when designing, and he says he always asks women from the office to try the headphones on as part of the design process.
It feels strange that arya Stealth has a better tone than arya Unveiled. by the channel. Headphoneshow and goldensound and most importantly arya stealth price 599 dollars
Wow! It’s always fun when you two confirm my experience. I love these headphones, and those covers work; they are light and quiet when setting them down. I think the magnets will do a good job protecting them. A note of caution…avoid setting them magnet side down on a surface that can attract them.I have a desk lamp that has a square base that sticks out, and is big enough to lay a headphone on. While listening, I took them off for a moment, and carelessly set them “face” down. I couldn’t lift them back up. They were stuck, and I had to slide them off. Yikes. So, my question; I've never EQ’d, and I don’t know how to. Where in the chain is that done? Apple Music has EQ, but I mostly listen to Qobuz, and they don’t have that feature. I go from MacBook Pro, USB to DAC. Seeing Andrew almost blush was adorable…
29:20 you're missing out if you don't use EQ. Absolutely. When you get good at EQ it's so much fun. If you don't use EQ you might as well give up trying to be an audiophile.
No doubt. The ease with which HFM planars can be EQed is their most underappreciated feature. So much so that, with just a few filters, my HE6se v2 obviate the need to upgrade to other, “better” HFM planars.
I have watched several videos on EQing, but still can’t get it right for some reason. Could you maybe elaborate on the easy to EQ HFM planars? I have an Arya Organic, and especially in the bass, I can’t seem to EQ it right, since it gets bloated fast
@Togoths I’m constantly switching around and trying out different things, but it should be something like this currently: FILTER; dB; Gain; Q PEAK; 80; -2.0; 0.600 LSHELF; 205; 5.0; 0.710 PEAK; 205; 4.0; 3.000 PEAK; 1050; -1.0; 4.000 PEAK; 1900; 4.5; 1.414 PEAK; 3000; -3.0; 2.000 HSHELF; 7000; -4.0; 0.710 That way I currently don’t have much bloat, if any at all, but I’d like more bass sometimes and then it gets critical
@FabioGrenkh if an EQ profile is sounding “bloated” in the bass my guess is that 1) you need to apply negative pre-amp gain (equal and opposite to the highest EQ peak) and 2) you need an amp powerful enough to compensate for whatever negative gain you apply. Glancing at your settings, you’ll need to apply about -5dB of pre-amp gain. But in general, EQ takes a lot of practice, learning, and experience to get right. If it’s new to you, I wouldn’t expect to get it right for a while. In the meantime, I’d refer you to a resource like oratory1990’s presets, and to Resolve’s videos on how to get started with EQ. But know that it does take a lot of time and practice to get good with EQ.
Still amazed I havent seen any 3rd party covers that have a large, open grille that can stay on all the time for protection but not have a acoustic impact.
For folks wanting the EQ settings, I'll be adding them to the measurement post linked in the description tomorrow when I get a chance.
Thank you!
Now that we have eq talk
RESOLVE BRING US THE FORBIDDEN VIDEO FORMAT:

But it's forbidden... how could I?
YES PLEASE
@@ResolveReviewsWith EQ as a factor, ergonomics and comfort become much more important. An EQd HD 490 Pro is a serious contender, for example.
@ Agreed... I was joking about it being forbidden.
pls mr just this once
I'm glad Resolve mentioned how resolving it is. I find that information to resolve any hesitation I was having issues resolving.
For me, the best part of the Organic and the Unveiled is that they reduced prices on the Stealth.

I have just ordered a pair ... Can't wait to have a play
See if you can curb the excess 5khz a bit. I did actually try to do this with a specific paper insert but the cups are so large it was difficult to get it to stay in the right spot. I imagine it's doable though!
@@ResolveReviews I will certainly try to design some magnetic protective mesh grills for when you are not feeling brave while listening ;)
As long as the Arya Stealth is being sold for $599.00 Hifiman can keep the Unveiled.
I have the Stealth, waiting for the inevitable huge Organic price drop in a year or two then I'll upgrade to that.
@@RaKnows the organic might not even be an upgrade compared to the stealth. might as well wait for unveiled.
@@RaKnows I have owned both (and other hifiman), it's not necessarily an upgrade. Overall, I think Stealth might be slightly better, honestly. HE1000 Stealth is a better version of the Organic (better treble with similar low-end IMO).

Guys, it's high time you took the HE1000 Stealth (aka v2 Stealth) for a ride and shared your impressions!
This is why i have always loved hifiman. They often have a combination of head to head consistency and upper treble accuracy that make them as good a platform for EQ as you can get. With this model, they've made it even easier to EQ the treble, so I can see why resolve loves them so much
They have no such thing in the Susvara
Does that apply to the Arya Organic too? I really have trouble EQing it, especially in the bass, it gets bloated fast.

Interesting. The Arya Organics have been my subjective favourite from the entire line. Might well have to give these a try. Great review as always!
How many Arya versions have you heard? I had the V2 and now Stealth.
One more comment; I don’t mind the plastic at all. Seems high quality and keeps them light. I have a smaller head , and as a woman, fit is often an issue. I review headphones for an online magazine, and maybe I have the opposite issue as Cameron…
That HPTF variation is actually nuts.

Please add the EQ profile to the description (as was mentioned), thank you. Guessing it's something like -3DB with 3Q at 5Khz + Desired Bass Shelf.
Good discussion. I particularly appreciated Golden"s sobering approach to and articulation of challenges to EQ-ing headphones as well as the limitations of reviewing EQ-ed headphones, given vagaries of HRTF! Kudos. Andrew is fun as always to listen to.
XTC2 needs no EQ I heard because they customize the sound for each user
Note: Manufacturer’s comment. BTW hopefully these guys can review the XTC2!

I'm just curious how close you can get to the unveiled by removing the grill on the Arya then putting an eq on it
Conversely, I wonder how close you can get to the stock unveiled sound, while putting grilles over the drivers.
These are different drivers in the unveiled series
Please repeat which amp you're using that has tone controls - thanks
That's the Zahl HM1

Someone should do a magnetic grill mod for all the unveiled versions for tuning.

Some said it is better than the he1000U. Any thought?
I bough a Arya Stealth about 2 and a half years ago, based on how much they've been discounted since I can wait for these to be similarly discounted. Or for HE1000SE to come down a little further.
