A New Approach

The Arya Unveiled represents a significant leap forward in planar magnetic headphone technology. By removing the traditional grille, HIFIMAN claims more openness and transparency. 

A Worthy Successor

The Arya Unveiled builds upon the success of its predecessors, the Arya Stealth Magnet (88% CE Critic Score) and Arya Organic. While these earlier models were already highly regarded, the Unveiled takes the sound quality to new heights. The addition of the removable magnetic veils offers a customizable listening experience, allowing users to tailor the sound to their preferences.

A Strong Contender

At $1,400, the Arya Unveiled is positioned in a competitive market segment. However, it's a strong contender against other high-end planar magnetic headphones.

Conclusion

The HIFIMAN Arya Unveiled looks to be an interesting new approach to headphone engineering. We look forward to the reviews and CE Critic Score.
