Definitely looks more beautiful than all black colour (at least for me).

I like the industrial design more tbh

Ananda Nano would be the most industrial design Hifiman ever produced so far. Well, Arya Organic is a clear step up in sound quality though.

On the contrary I think this is the best looking Arya so far.

As far as I know, the cups are real wood, not just veneer but at the same time they do not have an awful lot of impact on sound. I cannot say for sure until I actually try them.

Based on Hifiman's product page (Audivina and Sundara Closed Back), I would be truly surprised if Arya Organic use real wood. I don't think Hifiman would missed to mention the detail.

You might be right, but that would be quite a cheeky move from HiFiMan.

Not cheeky at all. They don't mention wood anywhere, plus if they are not using real wood on their 6 and 3k models, I highly doubt that they are gonna do it with a cheaper one.

You are probably right.

Me too, at least in pictures. In any case, it isn't in the same aesthetic (or build quality) league as my ZMF Aeolus (with real wood cups and real leather headband and pads; I assume the Arya Organic has a thin strip of veneer from the Black Plastic Forest). OTOH, though, the Arya SE, now at almost the same price, beats the Aeolus all to hell technically. But the much warmer and bassier Aeolus is still a fun listen and good complement.

ZMF build (and Meze and Audeze and Focal for that matter) is on another level compared to HiFiMan. Despite the recent improvements with the Audivina for example.

Yeah that image is the ugly one with the black grill.

The other image has a silver one. Clearly mockups.

All black is a thing. I like all black timex too.

Wheres the silver grill image all i see is black grill with a slight glare of light on the images on this thread. Am I missing something ?

At least real wood would be a plus for better build quality

It’s not silver. It’s black with a diffuse reflection of the lighting, as @Lightspeed12 has said. Also it isn’t a mock-up
IMHO of course
