Sony is acquiring Audeze
Yeah, you may be right. I think the piece people are losing sight of us just how small Audeze is. This deal is likely for well under $100 million. We are talking about a company whose annual revenue appears to be in the $10-$15 millionish range. I feel like a lot of us see Audeze as a huge...- cashmonee

Sony is acquiring Audeze
I suspect the most valuable thing SIE got, and the reason for the purchase, was the patents Audeze holds. Most of what I can find has Audeze's revenue under $10 million a year. Their name means nothing outside our VERY niche hobby. To me, it seems too much of a coincidence that SIE is...- cashmonee

Sony is acquiring Audeze
I wonder what ends up happening here. From what I can tell, Audeze's revenue is a rounding error for SIE (even more so for Sony). It appears to only be several million dollars a year. Also, I find it notable that the SIE subsidiary is the one that bought them, not Sony Electronics. The reality...- cashmonee

HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread
Only since mid-August. The one you are referring to from February was a question about a stealth (as in quiet) update, not Stealth (as in magnets).- cashmonee

That is unfortunately not possible where I am (Central California). I am not even 100% sure HIFIMAN will still do the exchange. I am waiting to hear more from them.- cashmonee

HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread
I asked this before, but a lot has changed in the last 6 or 7 weeks. I may have the chance to exchange my V2 for V3. I listen to a wide variety of pop/rock and movie scores. Think Pink Floyd, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Adele, Modest Mouse, Shakira, The Avett Brothers, Lumineers, Leon Bridges, Bruno...- cashmonee

HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread
I am not sure you are accurately describing Joshua's review. His final line: "If you prefer a flatter frequency response, the Stealth is the way to go. If you prefer a little bit better statistical performance, that's probably the one. If you prefer sound staging, presentation, and drama to...- cashmonee

I am all but sure you have V2. I purchased at the end of July/beginning of August and gave V2. Also, if the box doesn’t have a stealth magnet sticker on the front and the specs aren’t updated, you have a V2. Lastly, a while back a V2 was weighed against a V3. The V2 was right at the stated 403g...- cashmonee

The V3 are also more sensitive. I believe 32 Ohms and 94dB of sensitivity. V2 was 35 Ohms and 90 dB. It seems clear that a fair amount has changed.- cashmonee

I agree that I think I like the look of the round cupped HIFMANs more than the egg shape, but the egg shape are so much more comfortable, particularly the Arya.- cashmonee

HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread
Yeah, I was offered an exchange for the V2 I bought in early August but declined. Decided to stick with what I know I love. The V3 have different magnets and are heavier. I worry about the sound being a change for the worse for me personally. From reviews, I do not think the headphones with...- cashmonee

It is possible that you will get the newest version. I will say that I order mine on August 10 and did not receive them until August 19 (they shipped on the 17th I believe) from HIFMAN through Amazon. Even with the delay in shipping (Sundara and Ananda were next day at the time) I did not...- cashmonee

NEW Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 ANC Headphones - Reviews & Impressions
I had a pair of H95's back in the spring and returned them due to what can best be described as a coil whine for about 5 seconds when starting audio with transparency on full and again for 5 seconds when turning audio off. They also had a rather audible hiss that was definitely distracting...- cashmonee

NEW Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 ANC Headphones - Reviews & Impressions
I would agree. The HX and H95 are sufficient in ANC and transparency to me but not the same level as the ANC focused headphones. And I was ok with that because the sound quality was better. However they do have a constant hiss which APM do not exhibit at all and then of course the coil whine issue.- cashmonee

NEW Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 ANC Headphones - Reviews & Impressions
You are the third person I have heard with the same issue I have. All of them have purchased the H95 in the last few weeks. I suspect that there is a bad batch of headphones or they switch suppliers to a poorer performing part. Coil whine is exactly the right description. Mine are being sent...- cashmonee

I just got a pair of H95 and I absolutely love them. I am experiencing an issue and wonder if it is normal. They have the normal hiss in transparency and it is controlled enough for me. However, if I press play, just a moment before music starts, a higher pitch whirring sounds starts and...- cashmonee
