#10 HIFIMAN Arya Organic: $769.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: A preference score of 91 in oratory1990’s measurement means the overall balance sits very close to the Harman target, with a nearly neutral tilt and a smooth 1.77 dB deviation. Bass between 60 and 200 Hz runs only about 1 dB above target and the upper mids are within 1 dB, so vocals and instruments sound natural and unforced. At 16 ohms and 94 dB sensitivity it is easy to drive, and it rates higher than the Audeze LCD-XC and HIFIMAN HE1000 Stealth.
Cons: Sub-bass below 60 Hz sits about 2 dB under target and the air band above 10 kHz runs about 6 dB hot, with a peak of nearly 10 dB near 11.9 kHz that can add a bright sparkle to cymbals. A 4.5 dB dip around 9.5 kHz makes that treble region uneven. The open back leaks sound and offers no isolation, so it suits quiet rooms, and the 440 g weight is on the heavy side.
