    HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread

    Yes, it is. I had both the V2 and Stealth at the same time and the Stealth version is significantly better in terms of timbre and harshness in the treble. For reference, I came from HD600s which are so smoothed over in the treble with zero harshness and I am totally fine with the Stealth. The...

    The difference is the V3 the sound is just closer to you which makes it seem not as wide/large but the actual width/size is pretty similar. At least that was my impression between the two.

    These look wonderful, if there is one thing I would say aren't fantastic about the Arya, it's the stock ear pads. Will have to place an order for these when they are ready. Any insight on if/how the sound signature changes with these?

    If you like the HD800, I think you'll enjoy the V2 more. The V3 isn't as in your face as the Clear I would imagine (I have Elexs which are pretty similar) and the V3 is definitely not as in your face as those, however I imagine the V2 would sound more like the HD800 in that respect. Measurement...

    Depends what you're looking for. V2 has a wider soundstage (although not by much), the sound is further away, has a more bright treble that does emphasize sibilance a bit, more subdued bass, mids not as prominent. I think these sound great for well mastered tracks that utilize the soundstage...

    Interesting. I'm not saying the graph is wrong, but my experience and almost everyone universally agrees that the V3 bass has more punch and is noticeably meatier. As for the treble, again chart shows it should be more bright but it's way more smooth on the V3. Night and day. After A/Bing over...

    Outside of the bass, the biggest difference to me in the V3 versus the V2 is the timbre of the treble. Cymbals and violins sound so much more natural to me on the V3, the V2 sound tinny/plasticy in comparison. The detail remains the same between the two as well.

    If I were to keep the V2, it would def. be a class A amp and a neutral/warm DAC. I've heard some people here say that can help with the treble, but someone here also mentioned they had a Soloist and that the V2 was still harsh, so... If I keep the V3, I'm not really sure. I don't think the...

    For movies, the bass impact. I haven't tried EQing the V2 yet to see if I can get a similar result. In addition, my test clip for sibilance in dialogue is so much better on the V3. For gaming, I think the imaging is more accurate on the V3. On the V2 I would hear things and turn to it but it...

    HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread

    Got my V3's in today, did a quick A/B but so far the V3 fixes the harshness/timbre of the treble. I can listen to pretty much any track on these at high volume with no fatigue compared to my V2. As already noted, the bass is also much more noticeable and full, packs much more of a punch/impact...

    Loving all the V3 impressions. I'll get my pair next week to compare with my V2. The treble brightness/harsh SSSSS being smoothed out is a huge deal for me as that is really the only complaint I have with the V2. My pair is brand new though, so I know it might get better with time, but still. I...

    They are yeah. I've seen that a few times but have always been skeptical of these claims. That being said, I guess the only way to know for sure is to keep listening... Which I can't stop doing by the way, this is the first real upgrade I've felt that is really noticable to my trusty HD600s...

    Nothing fancy, just an Atom. I'm in the market for a new amp/dac as well, looked into some class a ones as well which I heard paired well. Interesting it's made that much of a difference though, now I'll have to give one a shot to see if it improves the harshness up there.

    Damn, I just got my V2 a week ago and the only complaint I have with them is the harshness of the S/TH sounds in some songs. Joshua Valour says this is negated on the V3. I've ordered a pair of V3, not sure how long it will take to get to Canada but I'll post my thoughts when I get them as well.

    PS4 & PC at same time output on one pair of headphones

    Hi there, I seem to be in a frustrating predicament...   Basically, I want to be able to hear the output of the PS4 and my PC at the same time, but I'm really lost.   I'm currently connecting the PS4 via. HDMI to a monitor.   I did try one solution that did work, technically, but there was...
