HiFiMAN Arya Planar Magnetic Reference Headphones -Stealth Magnet Version uses planar magnetic technology & Nanometre Thickness Diaphragm to create sound. Unlike conventional dynamic drivers, HiFiMAN planar headphones utilize a very thin film in proximity to a magnet to create sound that is detailed and lifelike with outstanding clarity. Generally, the thinner the film means lower mass, yielding faster response and lower distortion which in turn create a natural sound reproduction. 

In the HiFiMan Arya, the film used is so thin, it is a diaphragm in nanometre thickness which is a breakthrough core technology developed by HiFiMAN and first of its kind in headphone application. To give you an idea of how thin the film is, if you were to view it from the side, it would be invisible to the naked eye. Working with this advanced material is extremely challenging yet the successful incorporation of this film as the Arya's planar driver is the cornerstone of its remarkable sound.

Acoustically Invisible Stealth Magnet

Unlike the sound waves created by a conventional magnet, the special shape of Stealth Magnets enables the waves to pass through the magnets without generating interference.

HIFIMAN's advanced magnet design is acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing wave diffraction turbulence that degrades the integrity of the sound waves. The reduced distortion yields pure sonic output that is accurate and full-range.

Window Shade System

HiFiMAN utilizes an "Open Back" design for best possible sound. With the Arya, a patented "Window Shade" is precisely structured to gain greater openness in the headphone design. The Window Shade keeps the sound waves from second refraction to avoid unwanted vibration and distortion. The result is a wider soundstage, outstanding imaging and remarkable clarity.

Aesthetically, the "Window Shade" also provides a unique, high-tech look to the Arya.

HIFIMAN Metal and High-Grade Plastic Construction

HIFIMAN designed Arya's high-quality metal headband with extra strength and a special high-grade plastic for lightweight comfort and rugged durability.
To adjust the headband, simply move each ear cup up or down until the top of the headband rests comfortably on your head and the ear cups surround your ears.

Sturdy 3.5mm User-replaceable Connector Design

The Arya keeps things simple with a single Crystalline Copper cable. With a jet black woven exterior finish, it's the perfect complement to the sound and look of the Arya. The cables are user-replaceable and have channel orientation for left and right. An "L" and "R" are indicated inside the headband. Once the cable is installed with correct channel orientation, an easy way to tell left and right is the cable is connected toward the front of the ear cup. The cable will drape on the user's chest for greater comfort.

Asymmetrical Ear Cups

The Arya ear pads have been specially designed to be thicker with an asymmetrical shape that follows the form of the ear. The pads are bevelled so that they contour to the shape of your head for superb comfort and extended listening.

The premium ear pads also have a new surface that makes contact with the head. This material had been changed from Velour to Polyester to increase sound transparency. The surrounding pleather material has not been altered.

Planar magnetic headphones for low distortion
Although more expensive to make, planar magnetic headphones offer a number of advantages over conventional dynamic ones. These include lighter diaphragms for a faster response and a linear spread of sound across the speaker, reducing the level of distortion.

Nanometre thick diaphragms for enhanced detail and speed
Developed by HIFIMAN and the first of its kind, the Arya uses incredibly thin diaphragms for an exceptionally musical response. Thinner diaphragms are lighter, meaning music is faster to respond and react to differences in tempo. Lighter weight also makes for superior high-end detail and a more nuanced sound. In short, the sound is more lifelike than ever.

Advanced magnet layout for clarity
Meticulous research and development has produced a new way to reduce soundwave interference and enhance clarity as a result. Asymmetrical magnet layout uses smaller magnets on the ear side of the drive unit. Smaller magnets mean less resistance and wave distortion from the passing soundwaves – meaning you hear a truer sound.

Designed for clearer sound
Eye-catching ‘window shade grilles’ give these headphones aesthetic appeal. More than that, though, the grilles perform a practical purpose in greatly reducing sonic reflections. Reduced reflection means a less muddled sound and greater clarity.

Shaped to fit
Stylish, asymmetrical earcups not only look distinctive, but also follow the shape of your ears for a perfect fit. Large earcups envelope your ears for immersive comfort. The wide, perforated headband evenly distributes weight over your head, making these headphones supremely comfortable to wear for hours on end.
