Yes -- I quite like them. I once for grins A/B'ed (just a few days ago) with my Edition XX and it was super funny -- it wasn't close, of course. Funnily, I still liked the less-resolving, darker sound of the Edition XX for some music, as they were pleasant, but they were absolutely not preferable overall and were clearly less resolving. I wonder how close the Arya Organic are to the HE-1000 v2.

Thanks for the speedy reply.

I have often wondered about the Arya's. I bet for many people they are an endgame headphone.

Do you think there is much difference between the SE and the V2 or have you heard both?

Hah! Yes, sorry, I lost your question in my notifications then didn't notice it until I was catching up on threads.

I have not heard the HE-1000 v2 Stealth Edition nor the HE-1000se, unfortunately, so all I have to go on is what I've heard others say on it -- and the consensus seems to be that most people see the 1000se as a step up from either v2 or v2 Stealth in terms of resolution, but when it comes to comparisons between v2 and v2 Stealth, the consensus is more muddled than that, with some preferring Stealth and others OG V2.

Based on what I've read, I'm content with the HE-1000 V2 non-stealth I scored, and I would possibly see it as redundant with the Stealth, but the 1000se? I might dig that for other reasons without wanting to ditch the V2 OG, but I'm speculating.

I'm actually content with not knowing for a while -- I've not even had a chance to REALLY put the V2 through its paces.

Mine is coming tomorrow.
I am very excited. I loved the Arya Stealth, HE-1000 V2 / Stealth. I have high hopes for the Oranic. Rightly so. Because what HiFiman been delivering lately, especially after the price reductions, is simply spectacular.
The Arya now has an aluminum body.
The film from the SE, and 16 ohm impedance. This is going wild.

Really interested to hear your thoughts comparing Organics to HEKv2. At the current prices the HEKV2 is a strong contender.
I want to upgrade my Ananda v1 (wide soundstage and warmish presentation that i love) but i avoided Aryas and newer anandas until now since they were brighter. Then Organic caught my attention. And seems that also the sound of the HEKV2 could be something i would love.

 

[BowWazoo]

Haven't listened to it yet, but clamping force is almost zero.

 

[BowWazoo]

first impression is negative. The Organic doesn't touch me.

 

[BowWazoo]

..mmm

 

[OCC7N]

I got these coming in. Gonna compare them with Arya v2 and Susvara.

Any info on the stock cables? - probably the same ones as the others.

 

[OCC7N]

Can you be specific on how long they have been burnin and what cable?

 

[BowWazoo]

I don't think much of either. Especially not from the 2nd

Ok thanks! ... please share DAC and AMP also

I see you have experience with V2 and V3......There must be something about the pairing since the organic have a lower Ohm.

Topping G5

 

[OCC7N]

Topping G5

Reminded me of my old NX1.....no pun intended, Topping has advanced a lot lately.

Maybe try other pairings with it, just a suggestion

 

[BowWazoo]

OMG.
Oratorys Arya Stealths preset,
transforms the Organic significantly.
Of course it had to be adjusted...

 

[BowWazoo]

Holy ***!
These bass! These soundstage!
