HIFIMAN is about to ship ARYA UNVEILED, the latest addition to HIFIMAN’s acclaimed Arya series of high-end planar magnetic headphones.
The ARYA UNVEILED (SRP: $1,449) features the company’s new Magnetic Veil, a removable back panel that protects the headphone. Also included is HIFIMAN’s Stealth Magnet technology that is notable for an asymmetrical, double-sided magnetic circuit that gradually adjusts the magnet’s gap and cross-sectional shape, both inside and outside of the diaphragm. The soundstage is wide and deep, with a neutral response that made the original Arya and its follow-ups, Arya Stealth Magnet and Arya Organic, three of the company’s most successful models.
“Arya headphones are some of our most popular products to date,” says Dr. Fang Bian, President, and CEO, HIFIMAN Electronics. “By incorporating our new UNVEILED design, the Arya series’ performance takes a dramatic leap forward while enhancing the qualities that make it a HIFIMAN favorite.”
HIFIMAN’s Magnetic Veil
HIFIMAN’s top-tier models are specially designed to maximize the exposure rate of the grills because the nanometer-thick diaphragm is so lightweight that reflections from the grill disturb the movement pattern of the diaphragm.
As one of HIFIMAN’s new UNVEILED models, the ARYA UNVEILED incorporates a removable back panel, called Magnetic Veils, that fit over the ear cups, helping to avoid damage caused by the absorption of magnetic objects when the headphone is not in use.
Typical of many of the company’s recent high-end models, ARYA UNVEILED features HIFIMAN’s Stealth Magnet technology, which is acoustically transparent, dramatically reduces wave diffraction turbulence that degrades the integrity of the sound waves, thereby maximizing the accuracy of the sonic output.
Also on board is the company’s Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm. Based on the company’s SUSVARA open-back headphone, the diaphragm results in ultra-low distortion, lightning fast transient response, and a demonstrable improvement in dynamics and overall details when compared to the original, highly acclaimed model.
ARYA UNVEILED is designed for comfort, with a super-thin diaphragm that guarantees fast response and the bare minimum of distortion. Inputs are 3.5mm for enhanced connectivity and compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket cables.
“The new ARYA UNVEILED retains the DNA of the original model, but with the patented UNVEILED design that significantly enhances high-frequency transparency and overall resolution for a more expansive soundstage with maximum detail, especially noticeable when listening to high-resolution audio,” says Dr. Bian.
The new ARYA UNVEILED will be available from authorized HIFIMAN dealers and the company’s online store, http://store.hifiman.com/.
