I can't recommend the Hifiman Arya out of the box. So need a bit of EQ to bring out its excellence in enjoyable sound that requires such large drivers often to deliver. The Arya is a comfortable headphone and out of box has good tonality but the highs got to me. Remind me of when I reviewed the Sennheiser HD800s.įYI my RME ADI-2 DAC V2 had no trouble driving it to ear deafening levels. You almost felt like the band was miniaturized and your head was placed inside it! Kind of neat the way everything separated to the sides and back of my head (I never get forward projection). Once in place, the tonality was excellent as was the spatial capabilities. Some of the easiest EQ jobs with great improvement. Let's start with our usual frequency response: If you think you have an exact idea of a headphone performance, you are likely wrong!įitment on the fixture was very good/easy due to large cups. Ultimately headphone measurements are less exact than speakers mostly in bass and above a few kilohertz so keep that in mind as you read these tests. As you will see, I confirm the approximate accuracy of the measurements using Equalization and listening tests. Protocols vary such as headband pressure and averaging (which I don't do). Headphone measurements by definition are approximate and variable so don't be surprised if other measurements even if performed with the same fixtures as mine, differ in end results. Note: The measurements you are about to see are made using a standardized Gras 45C. But it uses standard 3.5mm plugs for each cup so you can replace it. It comes with a stiff and short headphone cord that kept its coiled shape which I found annoying. It actually feels "light" on my head given that suspension headband.
