I have owned the he1000v2 (before upgrading to the he1000se) and have demoed the arya and i disagree
Can you tell us differences you found between Arya and HE-1000 V2?

Take my comments with some grains of salt as my demo of the arya was brief-ish in order to compare them with the he100v2 that i then owned.Can you tell us differences you found between Arya and HE-1000 V2?
I have to write short, yet a very positive feedback on Hifiman Customer Service. I truly like my Aryas but certainly in 2 or 3 years I will be looking for an upgrade. Maybe a higher model of Hifiman. I had to make sure that my Aryas will be in a good condition for resell then, so I have contacted Hifiman for replacement parts. I decided to order headband and earpads in advance in case they stop manufacturing them. However, I was unable to find out if parts sold in Hifiman online store are compatible with Aryas, so I have emailed them. I am really satisfied with their approach. Response was quick and they explained that earpads offered in online store would fit Aryas while new comfort headband would not. Fortunately, I was able to easily order everything via email and I was given a choice to order just headstrap or full headband. They also sent me some photos. Finally, I ordered full headband with strap and earpads. Shipping from Hong Kong to Europe took just 3 working days. Really, really cool.

Let's just say the arya are a fuller fun sound and the he1000v2 are more detailed with great extension and precision.
The common view in the he1000 thread, that I agree with, is that the se (vs the v2) is more focussed in sound, tighter bass and slightly better managed (less potential bright/harsh top end). However I also liked the bottom end in the v2 too - a little rounder.Arya got more fun and full sound than the HE1000SE too right?
And could you tell us how does the V2 compared to SE as well?
Thanks!
It will definitely be a pretty big jump. I demo'd the Aeon for about 10 minutes and almost fell asleep. Congrats on the purchase. I doubt you'll be disappointed.Just bought my Arya, should come next week!
I will be pairing this with RME ADI2 that I have, coming from Aeon Flow Closed, how much big a jump is this?

Do I need an aftermarket cable for this or is the stock good enough?

I audited test pair in audio store and instantly felt in love. Clear, forward vocal, nicely separated from instruments. Perfect amount of bass and sub bass - they can hit hard when needed but do not overwhelm you with boomy bass all the time. Sparkling treble. I auditioned 20+ HPs before them and it was he one that gave me WOW effect. I instantly knew that Arya is what I was looking for. When I unboxed mine I was absolutely disappointed. Poor bass and harsh treble. Just awful. I wanted to return them. But gave them a chance and left them playing 24/7 for a week. And it was a huge surprise. Again it was sound that I loved so much during audition. And I still do every day.And assuming you believe in burn in, does the Arya change a lot in the process? And if yes, in what ways?
Thanks.
I purchased the pseudo upgrade to the Norne Solv X3 which is OCC silver balanced. Unfortunately, I don't know the name of the cable since it was a brand new guage that they were testing. Trevor offered me the opportunity to purchase before it went live on the site. I still don't see on the Norne site but I'd say it is a solid upgrade from the stock cable. I paid around $400USD. It offers slightly more clarity without sacrificing bass quantity. That said, the stock cable is more than sufficient if you want to save a few bucks.Haha
Thanks! Haha well to be honest when I bought the Aeons they were claimed as giant killers Tyll was in love with them, i quite liked it! But it's time to move on from those!
Waiting is the ****ty part! Do I need an aftermarket cable for this or is the stock good enough?
I got a balanced silver cable from Norne that's pretty good. See my last post ^^It's pretty decent surprisingly, but you need an aftermarket if you want to go balanced.
Anyone got recommendation for Arya balanced cable?
