Design & Construction
Features revolutionary grille-free, fully open-back structure with removable backplate inspired by SUSVARA flagship. Construction combines metal headband with adjustable head strap and large oval-shaped swiveling ear cups. Glossy black ear cups add distinct visual identity to the all-black color scheme. Incorporates proprietary Stealth Magnets with innovative shape that minimizes turbulence and sound wave reflection. Diaphragm is under a millionth of a meter thick and extremely lightweight. Includes magnetic veils made from lighter material to protect exposed drivers when not in use. Lightweight construction with metal and plastic materials ensures comfortable extended listening.
In-Depth Overview
The Arya Unveiled introduces a grille-free, fully open-back design that eliminates the final barrier to perfect sound quality. This design approach removes soundwave reflections caused by traditional grilles, delivering unprecedented sonic purity.
Revolutionary Grille-Free Design Innovation
The removable backplate design draws inspiration from HIFIMAN's flagship SUSVARA headphones, engineered to deliver optimal soundstage and sonic purity. Traditional headphones suffer from harmful reflections caused by grilles that bounce sound waves back onto the diaphragm, diminishing sound quality. The Arya Unveiled solves this by eliminating the grille entirely, achieving complete elimination of grille/window shade designs for near-lossless sound reproduction.
The Problem with Traditional Headphones
Conventional models use mesh grilles with lower opening ratios, causing sound reflections and refractions that diminish audio quality. Even advanced designs with window shade patterns cannot completely eliminate these issues. The Arya Unveiled takes the revolutionary step of removing the grille entirely.
Window Shade Design Background
Earlier iterations used a window shade design to increase the opening rate, maximize the grill exposure and reduce the probability of reflection and refraction. While this approach improved sound significantly over traditional grilles, complete grille removal achieves superior results.
Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm
The diaphragm measures under a millionth of a meter, delivering low distortion, fast transient response, and improved dynamics. This extremely light construction enables quick response speed and outstanding frequency characteristics without listener fatigue. The diaphragm is so thin it would be nearly invisible if viewed from the side, yet it delivers exceptional dynamic range and clarity.
The ultra-thin diaphragm provides extremely fast response speed and outstanding dynamic range, creating clear and non-fatiguing sound even during extended listening sessions.
Stealth Magnets Technology
These specially shaped magnets feature streamlined cross-sections that optimize airflow and minimize sound wave diffraction. They allow audio to pass through almost unaffected, reducing adverse sonic effects compared to traditional magnet designs.
The specially shaped Stealth Magnets have a streamlined cross-sectional shape that reduces air turbulence and sound wave diffraction. Unlike conventional magnets that can degrade audio quality through interference with sound waves, Stealth Magnets allow sound to pass through nearly unaffected.
Magnetic Veils Protection
Included protective covers for fully open drivers; covering ear cups when unused prevents magnetic object absorption damage. The manufacturer emphasizes covering ear cups when not in use to avoid damage caused by absorption of magnetic objects. These specially designed veils protect the fully exposed drivers while maintaining the headphones' premium appearance.
Sound Quality Problem Solved
Traditional headphones use mesh grilles with lower opening ratios, causing sound reflections and refractions that diminish audio quality. HIFIMAN's Window Shade Design increases opening rates and reduces reflection probability, but the Arya Unveiled takes this further by completely eliminating grilles for near-lossless sound reproduction.
What Makes Arya Unveiled Special
As the third iteration in the Unveiled series, the Arya Unveiled sports the hallmark features of an unveiled open-back headphone: Window shade grill design inspiration and magnetic veils for protection. The Arya Unveiled brings the Arya Stealth Magnets' accuracy and the HiFiMan Arya Organic's effortless musicality to center stage.
