None of the egg-shaped Hifimans are really "fun" tbf, they're either neutral-bright(He1k se/Arya Stealth) or straight bright as fuck :D (Ananda Unveiled/Arya Organic - just too painful even by the standarts of Hifiman, great for treble junkies/older people and like my father though). The only except

I had arya stealth (and loved it) then tried the ananda unveiled and it actually gave better separation of sub and low bass. I ended up selling the arya and getting the he1000stealth though. But the ananda unveiled is absolutely on a similar plane as arya stealth. Arya is 2 generations behind. Hifim

The Arashis hit hella hard. I thought nothing could top my Hifiman Ananda Unveiled for open backs. I was wrong. 26 watts of Fluxlabs M-Field balance stack are pushing these with no struggle. And DUNU supposed to have better planars on the way? Oh my goodness.

HE1000se are also #1 best all around headphone and #1 gaming headphone imo that said HD 490 Pro has advantage of being a lot lighter and potentially more comfortable for longer gaming sessions for that reason, the HD 550 are somewhere in between HD 490 Pro and 560S and you can get them for $200 on s

My M4s does have a special place in my heart! Especially with the 700s dongle which makes them sound even better! How would you compare them to the HD660s2?! I'm debating getting them or getting the Hifiman Ananda unveiled!

So far, so good with my pair. But I've made a "mistake"—a glorious one! I'm currently running them through my Fiio M21, but I took the plunge and decided to try the Hifiman Ananda Unveiled. Mannn, there is absolutely no turning back for me now. Of course, they can't compete with the PX8 S2 for mobil

I own the Ananda UV, Ive borrowed a Arya Stealth for months as well as A/B tested most hifimans and I think the Ananda Unveiled is a better pick. I was also scared of the unveiled concept but I learned that the Ananda Unveiled specifically is the safest out of all the unveileds due to the grills and

My choice is definitely the Hifiman Arya Stealth. Technically it’s better in every aspect: larger and more accurate soundstage, higher detail and resolution, better instrument separation, and an overall more refined presentation. It’s also the stronger option for gaming thanks to its superior spatia

Yea i own the he1k stealth, ive demo'd and borrowed a he1000se many times and preferred the he1kstealth. The he1000se has the best detail and imaging by just a little bit (and like 98% of susvara) but I found it too analytical and bright/uncomfortable treble. The he1000 stealth takes the best dynami

Yes. Within the limits of my damaged antiquated hearing the Mimir is more enjoyable with the Lyr 3 with stock Tungsol tube and Hifiman Ananda Steath then the Bifrost with the Lyr+ with a basic RayTube and Hifiman Ananda Unveiled. Neither are more enjoyable with the Hifiman Arya Stealth. FOR ME. The
