The Arya Organic is HIFIMAN's successor to the highly-rated Arya Stealth. That model already combined the sound quality of an HE1000 with more warmth and better wearing comfort. The Arya Organic uses the "Stealth Magnets" of the HE1000V2 and brings its sound into a new price category.

HIFIMAN relies on the established stable and yet lightweight headband construction. The black design is combined with earcup shells made of real wood veneer and the well-known "Window Shade" covers. The Stealth Magnets of the HE1000V2 ensure an unimpeded flow of sound waves due to their optimized shape. The driver diaphragm, with a material thickness in the nanometer range, is so thin that one can easily see through it despite the protective fleece on both sides. In fact, it is thinner than a human hair and can therefore move very quickly in the permanent magnetic field of the driver.

The headband of the Arya Organic is made of a comfortable artificial leather. The ear pads are ergonomically shaped. They consist of a combination of perforated artificial leather on the inside and a polyethylene fleece on the cheek side. The padding offers excellent wearing comfort, is easy to clean and easy to replace if necessary.

The Arya Organic produces a significantly large and rich sound. Its sonority in the soundscape is a key feature. Smaller HIFIMAN models are perceived as more restrained. The bass is powerful, but not overpowering; vocals are wonderfully present, and the high-frequency range is minimally silky and not crystalline, as is the case with many other manufacturers. It's simply a joy to enjoy music with this skillful tuning: You once again listen to entire albums and not just individual tracks.

The included cable is encased in a fabric sleeve and is 1.5 meters long. If that's not enough, you can, for example, have a cable made by Cardas Audio in any length and with the needed connectors.

The Arya Organic also prefers powerful headphone amplifiers with more than 1 Watt of output power into the 16 ohm impedance. The burn-in period, during which the drivers loosen up and significantly gain airiness, is around 150 hours. Of course, you can still have fun beforehand, as there's already plenty to discover from the start.
