Nice.
What is the Isvarna headphone?

 

[carloc]

The Isvarna is the new hybrid closed back

 

[Conan1974]

So, Hifiman is busy. 4 new models in such a short period.

Ooooo! I have the he1000 unveiled in for testing and love them! Can you compare them between the Arya unveilied?

 

[Conan1974]

If the Arya Unveild would be less sharp in the high tones, as the Organic, would be an interesting choice.
The drivers on Arya Unveiled, are they also not covered as on the A_Susvara Unveiled?
The seller in the store, told me to not touch the sides on the Susvara, because the drivers are not protected with anything.

First impressions of the HE1000 Unveiled.

The listening sessions were done using a Notebook with Daphile, Metrum Onyx DAC3, Niimbus US5 Pro amplifier. The wiring, both power and signal, is Duelund. The headphone cable is the Pure Litz by Playstereo.

The comparisons were made with the HE1000 Stealth which, in my opinion, at its price, is truly a gem.

The first impression I had from the Unveiled version is that of an even more sculpted and transparent sound without losing the naturalness that distinguishes the top of the Hifiman range .

The acoustic instruments and voices are very beautiful, very close to those heard live, the dynamics are explosive and limited only by the power made available by the amplifier.

Compared to its Stealth sister, the soundstage seems slightly advanced towards the listener while always maintaining a good width.

Here are three of the discs I used to compile these impressions of mine.

Would you say the HE1000 Unveiled are better suited for Classical, Jazz and Orchestra/Soundtrack type music? I have the HE1000 Stealth V2 which to me are a good "All Rounder" type HP that can even deliver the goods on Classic Rock, Pop, Hard Rock and Metal genres. That's my only concern with the HEK Unveiled. I wonder if it will have the Slam and Impact and visceral Bass in some instances for the Heavier music genres like the HEK Stealth does?
PS- I tried the Arya Unveiled back in November. Good HP... but I still preferred the HE1000 Stealth V2 over them

 

[Conan1974]

Just stay with what You have.
I did hear the both Unveiled models, and could compare the HE1000V2 stealth with Arya Unveiled.
I would keep the HE1000V2 stealth.
For me personally there is nothing better in the new ones.
It comes from someone, who was planning to get the Arya Unveiled .
For the looks as well

I listen mostly to classical, opera and jazz. However, I also enjoy some good old-fashioned rock. I can assure you that the HE1000 Unveiled lacks nothing in terms of speed and slam. The deep bass is well present and never rubbery. It is certainly an upgrade over the HE1000 Stealth but, obviously, the HE1000 Unveiled needs to be put in a position to bring out its considerable capabilities. This means that the entire setup must be of adequate quality in relation to the headphones.

What is your Audio chain if I make ask? I couldn't make out what type amp you have in that picture above.
I have 2 Geshelli DAC/Amp stacks (JNOG3 DAC and Erish 3 Pro Amp) at the moment but I'm considering upgrading one of them

 

[carloc]

Of course, you can ask!
My setup is made up of a Metrum Pavane DAC3 and the amplifier is the Niimbus US5 Pro.

 

[der luda]

Arya Organic is already a number.
I couldn't classify the Arya Open, it doesn't suit me.
HE1000 open, on the other hand, is currently the top league for me. However, the HE1000 Stealth is still way ahead in the price comparison.
The He1000Stealth has been at the top for me for a long time.

Before heading to the store yesterday, Have owned Utopia 2022 and LCD 5 and hesitate to get another HE1000 unveiled. Yesterday I Took a listen for 3 hours for both unveiled and se versions. If you don't have previous versions before, Yes, unveiled version to me is worth getting even I have both Utopia 2022 and LCD5. Unveiled version is a big step up from se, and sound unique to my other 2 flagships. It is easier to drive, bigger soundstage than se. Can't find other similar sounding planar headphones currently. But If you have previous se versions before and have a powerful amp, to my ears no need to upgrade.

I wish to take a listen to the new final d8000 dc pro as well. The demo is lended to others, but they all say unveiled sound better than d8000 dc pro. I have to double check. But heard the previous versions of d8000 pro before, not my cup of tea. If you know any other brands sound similar to he1000 unveiled and easier to drive, feel free to leave any comments.

Updated Feb 18

Heading to the store and took a listen at the he1000 unveiled again yesterday. They absolutely sound incredible for the price. I love it, it sounds so good, so unique and I want to buy it even I have both LCD5 and Utopia 2022. It is a big step up from SE, easier to drive, sound smoother, more sound stage, overall close to Susvara unveiled.

But wait a minute, yes, I am worried about the unprotected grill. According to hifiman's speed of update, maybe they will come up the solution that sound as good as the unveiled with a grill on it and a better material like the susvara unveiled chassis in the future. I will see how it goes at the end of the year.
