HIFIMAN Arya Unveiled Loaner Tour!

[TeamHiFiMAN]

Dear Head-Fiers:

By popular demand, we are thrilled to announce an Unveiled Loaner Tour for our community! We will be running 5 separate lists for the Arya Unveiled: 2 for the U.S. & Canada, 2 for Europe, and 1 for the Australia & New Zealand area.

Here are the rules:

1. To join, please comment on the post below with your name and general location (e.g., city/country/state). It would be great if you could also share a bit about your audio background and, if available, include links to any past reviews you've written.
2. Participation terms: You agree to keep the unit for up to two weeks from the date it arrives at your address. After that, you’ll ship it to the next participant, whose details we will provide. Before forwarding the unit, please take clear photos of the headphones, accessories, and packaging so we can confirm everything was in good condition when it left your hands.
3. Tour order: Do not complain, “But I should be next, not them.” We will determine the list and the order of participants, with location being a huge factor - not the order in which people signed up, and not everyone will be selected. If you are chosen, we’ll contact you via private message on Head-Fi to request your shipping information. Please respond within three days, or your spot will be forfeited.
4. You agree to post your first impressions once you receive the unit (so we know it arrived safely), and then share a review before shipping it onward. You can post your review in this thread or on your personal blog, website, or YouTube channel. Both written reviews and videos are welcome. If you review it elsewhere, please post a link here so people can find it.
5. We will cover the cost of shipping the item to the next reviewer.

Easy enough, right? Don't hesitate to join up now!

I'd like to participate for the Arya Unveiled, I've done the loaner tours for the Aurorus Audio Australis & Borealis, Hifiman Audivina, and Burson Conductor 3 recently. Niles Bentley in Tampa, Florida. For my equipment business I've had every Hifiman product over the years except the Susvara. Currently using the HE6SE with a Topping A70 Pro and both Sabre and Octo D70 Pro (still deciding between them).

 

[botmann]

I would be interested. Located in Baltimore, MD, USA.

Been into audio in some form or another for years starting with car audio. Bought my first set of more "audiophile" headphones back around 2003 (I think) with some Sennhieser HD600. Have done three different home theater setups. Currently mutliple headphones--Focal Stellia, Elegia, and Bathys, and HiFi HE6Se V2. Plus a few different TWS.

Don't really have any reviews. Do have a couple threads on impression such as:
HE6se V2 and FiiO K9
HE6se VS, FiiO K9, and Emotiva BasX2m
Current home theater system (AVS Forum thread)

If chosen, I will be using them with a FiiO K9 Pro (ESS) with and without an Emotive BasX 2m, and FiiO BTR7.

Yes, I copied and pasted from the post I did for the Susvara Uveiled Loaner Tour thread

I have already applied for the Susvara tour, but I wouldn't mind reviewing all three of your headphones on tour.

My current DAC/amp pairing is Holo Cyan 2 with a tube rolled ZMF Aegis. My location is Wiltshire, United Kingdom. I participated in many review tours (including HiFiMan tours) and shared several reviews here on Head-Fi.

 

[WILLJS]

I’d definitely be interested! honestly the arya (any version) has been on my radar for ages, probably the next realistic step for me without spending crazy money. I’ve got various Hifiman headphones such as the Sundara, HE400 and RE800 Silver, which are my favourite IEMs to date

I’d be testing the Arya Unveiled on various sources such as my AK jr, Hiby R5S, Woo WA11, and Topping L50 fed from my Kingrex Dac (maybe my FiiO BTR3K and M6 to stress them out )

I’m in Tasmania, Australia.

 

[Katysax]

I live in los angeles. I would love to participate. Already wrote an explanation on susvara thread.

 

[TechNICKal]

I would like to participate. I'm located in NYC. You can find my video reviews from my YouTube channel in my signature, as well as my written reviews here: Atrium Closed (link) and the Abyss JOAL (link). I'd be interested in making both a written and video review of them.

Thanks!

I’ve been in the audiophile hobby for over 20 years, with a deep focus on building highly musical and engaging systems while evaluating how headphones, DACs, and amps shape the overall chain. I’ve posted numerous (both official and unofficial) reviews and impressions on Head-Fi. I am an active reviewer on the WaterCooler Headphone Tour and love sharing my experiences and knowledge with the community.

I recently had the opportunity to listen to the Arya Unveiled at Audio46, comparing it directly to the DCA E3, Noire-X, HEK Unveiled, Meze Poet, and Abyss JOAL. I was immediately taken by its clarity, tone, and expansive stage. I’d love the chance to spend more time with it and share a full review.

Recent reviews and impressions:

• Audio46 Impressions
• Colorado Meet-Up Impressions (One and two)
• DCA Noire-X Review
• FiiO FT1 Review

Thanks for organizing the tour, I’d be honored to participate!

This one is on my radar as well ! Would like to hear the new unveiled flavor in the line up. Already posted on 1000 loaner, would like to hear them both.

Cheers

Hello,

I'd be interested in joining the tour. I live in Vancouver, Canada. I've been in this community for close to six years now. In that time I've owned over 50 full size headphones and listened to many others in showroom environments. I currently own quite a few that would be nice to compare the Arya Unveiled to. See my signature of current and past gear.

I don't have any formal reviews but I've left impressions and comparisons on many occasions and would love the chance to join this tour.

I would be interested in participating.

Name : Jean-François Martel
Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Occupation: Mixing and Mastering engineer mostly for Urban pop music projects (Mostly South and Latin American clients)
My main monitoring system is Lipinski's L-707 with upgraded A drivers on a HypeX NCx500 stero amp with 2 x12 inch sealed subs.
Reviews: I am an emotional writer, be it good or bad.
Here's 2 links to previous reviews I've written:

https://gearspace.com/board/search.php?do=process&u=41826&showposts=0&forumchoice[]=267

I'm mostly interested in buying the Arya Unveiled (it is currently a strong contender on my shortlist vs the MM-500 and the DCA Expanse) but could possibly be interested in the HE1000 Unveiled and Susvara Unveiled if the ''Whoa factor'' is strong enough.
I'm also a former Ananda Nano user that REALLY loved his experience for all the details and resolution I was getting from it. ( I sadly got mine stolen while on Tour in Colombia)
I'm currently actively shopping for a TOTL set of cans and that will most probably be enough to convince me if I can get my hands on a set and try them home.

My DAC/HP amp is the RME ADI-2 DAC FS.

Thank you.

Hello Hifiman,

I would like to participate in this loaner tour. Even though I don't have any past reviews to share, I have been an audio fan for many years and have the pleasure of owning both the Arya Stealth and HE1000V2 - my two favorite headphones. I have a few other headphones in my rotation, including the Sennheiser HD660S2.

I've been wanting to try the Unveiled headphones as a potential upgrade, but I live in a city where the selection of headphone equipment is quite limited. I would love to have the opportunity to share my impressions and review if I am selected.

I also expressed my interest in the HE1000 Unveiled loaner tour.
