#19 HiFiMAN Arya Unveiled: $1,119.00 Amazon $1,119.00 eBay
Pros: One of the most accurate open-back headphones available, with a preference score of 90 and a standard deviation of only 1.5 dB from the Harman target across 4 hobbyist measurements on squig.link. Every band from the low mids through the air region sits within 1 dB of target, so voices, instruments and cymbals all come through in natural balance without glare or dullness. The planar magnetic driver suits both neutral and slightly warm tastes.
Cons: Sub-bass sits about 4 dB below target and is down 5.2 dB at 30 Hz, so the deepest synth rumble and organ notes lack physical weight. A sensitivity of 94 dB/mW is modest, so a dedicated headphone amp helps it reach loud levels with headroom, and the open back leaks sound freely. The Dan Clark Audio Noire X rates slightly higher at a similar price, and the HIFIMAN Arya Organic earns the same rating for less money. See headphone amps and DACs with enough power to drive it.
