#48 HIFIMAN Arya Stealth: $599.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: The Arya Stealth scores 84.2 for preference in the median of five hobbyist measurements on squig.link, with bass from 60 to 200 Hz within about half a decibel of target and the upper mids nearly flat. That gives its planar magnetic driver a clean, uncolored midrange. The 32 ohm impedance keeps it easy to pair with a range of amplifiers, and it suits listeners who like a neutral or slightly V shaped sound.
Cons: Treble is clearly elevated, with presence about 2.7 dB high, air 6.6 dB high and a 10.8 dB peak near 11.9 kHz that can make cymbals and sibilants sound hot and fatiguing. Sub-bass falls about 3 dB short below 60 Hz, so deep bass lacks weight. The open back leaks sound and blocks no outside noise.
