Arya is my first HFM HP and my first HP at this price tag. I picked them over Focal Clear and MrSpeakers Ether in Jul 2019. It was faulty and started producing buzzing noise in one channel after two months or so. HiFiMAN offered me replacement and they work fine now. Cable got easily damaged (my fault) as well and I am using custom one. Also, my 2nd Arya has 0.5cm longer headstrap and very loose yoke adjustment mechanism. My first Arya was much better here with much more firm adjustment. So, nothing new here. Sound is amazing but build quality is terrible. I am not going to buy their products again as long as they ignore QA. No matter how good they sound.How far back do you go with HFM? They have a number of complaints against them on multiple fronts. I hate their cables, pads, pretty much everything but the drivers. Uncomfortable, questionable QA, poorly designed and executed bits outside of the drivers.
