I'm hoping to hear the HE1K very soon. It'll make for a great comparison.

I'm pretty sure the Organic is a better headphone over the HE1..

Doesn't the HE1000SE lack bass which the organic has? You must like music that doesn't have a bass guitar

I've also heard the HE1000SE is even more sibilant than organic. It brings details on the cost of sibilance but ofcourse I haven't heard them to comment on it. If it's true tho, then it still comes down to preference between the two.

Do you enjoy instruments that provide bass to a song like bass guitar? Or do you like the shrill and shawty instruments? I'm no musician but when I listen to Genesis the early one from like 9:82 they had a really good bass player. He went on to form the group. I think it was called Mike and the mechanics and to me that's the highlight of the song and I'm not a bassehead. I've gotten a IEM I returned it. People brag best budget. Incredible clarity when I got it. I knew what they meant by clarity shawty as if there were 5-year-old girls or young boys with loud voices. Shouting it didn't make the music better to me actually. So do you enjoy instruments to give the bass bass guitar? What type of music do you listen to? Have you heard of JM audio ecstasy open back to and the ecstasy clothes back 2.5

At least it's Veneer and not a vinyl wrap. It technically is real wood in that respect

Same for me. This or next year! ;)

The problem is that it’s bright and it isn’t as detailed as the HE1000 Stealth which is nearly the same price.

@Cujobob Yes, it's a hard choice, especially I can't compare both before buy (return them of course within a timeframe). I've seen many reviews and comparisons, and it seems like the Organic is good for EDM, Soundtrack, and Pop, while the HE1000 Stealth is better for Jazz, but not as good for EDM and Pop. The HE1000SE would outperform both, but it also costs €1.000 more. I own the 58x and tested the Sundara, which I liked but wasn't worth as a side grade. I tried the XS, but it sounded less detailed as the Sundara. A bit dull and not very engaging but a better bass and Sound stage than the Sundara. So the Arya Organic seems to have the combination of good detail and engaging sound with a good bass/subbass.

Thank you, Zach is a master at crafting beautiful headphones. The two end up being a nice compliment to one another for me.

Thank you! Yes, happy wife happy life ha! She's amazing so I'm very thankful for that!

Glad you enjoyed that!

you should also check out Flight by Hannah Parrott

Thank you. Appreciate the suggestion as well and ill see about that in the future.

I'm just going to add that to my general description as far as the amps I use. I do mention them at the end of this video. My ADI2DAC, Cayin iha-6 and liquid platinum for my desktop solutions.

Greetings, First off thank you for the like and sub to my channel. It's important to know this much about me: I don't do measurements for reasons of my own and so I strive to put the extra thought into my own sound impressions before delivering a video. Also the build and comfort are another important aspect of headphones that need attention. I also don't subscribe to a curve but more of what a piece of gear sounds like to my ears to describe the best way I know how. There are plenty of other reviewers out there posting measurements out there as well. I do appreciate your comment and point of view. 🥂

I'll look into that one, thank you.

oh yea I forgot about that one, HEDD 2 also is looking interesting

For me, RU7 all day long for details and transparency. RU6 if you want an analogue flavor to it.

I do. It's not significant though. Both resolve very well but I find the Organic to have a more natural sound, better Bass and more open stage over all. Percentages though. If you are happy with the stealth then don't get fomo.

@@Skeeb23 Many thanks for the reply! Hehe, fomo made me ask that question.. 😅 but your answer kind of settles it.. will stick to the stealth.. 😊

So I don't have the Nano any longer as it was just a loaner. The Arya is a definite upgrade. It sounds more natural. Both are detailed. I think the Arya also has more space and a better Bass definition along with less sizzle in the treble. I found the Nano to also have a slight metallic nature to it at times. Still a great headphone for the price it comes in at.

I'll double check the yikes since you asked. Honestly these days companies have gotten very good with plastic and the hefty makes it easily mistaken for metal on first glance/touch. I thought it was just the cups that were plastic. I'll report back.

@@Skeeb23 The 1st Ed Arya yokes were pure plastic and ppl starting having issues w/ them breaking. HiFiman made corrections later which they implemented a metal interior armature to strengthen the plastic yokes which for the most part fixed the yoke problem. However, I personally would have still preferred metal yokes even at the cost of more weight.

Well tbh I've not owned one long enough to know for sure. Ive heard the issues with the Sundara before. Hopefully this one stands the rest of time. My only concern would be the veneer coating on the cups.

@@Skeeb23 Gotcha. Yeah, I guess time is really needed to find out. Thanks for the reply!

It's the Moondrop Line W cable.

Well...I talked about the cable in the video ha! That's ok, it's the Moondrop Line W. It's a 4.4 balanced cable. If you watch towards the end that's where I talk more about it.

@@Skeeb23 Ah you talked about it in the end! haha

@@Skeeb23 Oh no... it's silver plated... I thought it was upocc silver only. I find the silver plated cables sound harsher and more stringent than pure upocc silver and copper cables.

Excellent! Towards the end of the sound portion of the video I talk about gaming with the Organic.

​@@Skeeb23Yeah I ended up buying the Organics after your vid and played Armored Core and Final Fantasy 7 Remake, they sound fantastic on those games. Definitely selling the 8XX and Aeon X lol

Thanks for the sub and note on the band. Lots of talk on the HE1000...I'll be very curious to hear the difference should I get the chance

Best? I can't comment on that unless I've heard them all, but the ADI2DAC pairs very well. You don't need a ton of power to drive them so even a Shit magni/modi would work. Do you have something in mind?

I compered it already. 1000v2 had less soundstage. Actually compared to Organic V2 has no soundstage at all. Sound is very accurate and sparks especially in upper treble. I heard every instrument in orchestral with it. But it has no scale. My preference to Organic. And now I don’t know what to to with my two Audeze headphones. Because Organic killed it in one shot.

​@@goldenstasgsIs it the OG He1000 V2 or the new He1000 Stealth.

@@hiraksarma3068 HifiMan 1000v2. It costed 3500$ two years ago. Now it has price same like organic. Unprecedented discount. I anticipate new model this year. HifiMan Arya was great but too far from 1000 series. But Organic with new level of details in treble is closer to 1000v2 and Susvara. My opinion it’s because Organic has same nano driver like V2. But Organic has huge soundstage and created for listening music. On another hand with 1000v2 is analytical headphones. Soundstage is narrow and details, details and details. But if you want details better choice is Abyss 1266. The best headphones in the world regarding of details. I compose music and I need headphones to hear orchestra like in Philharmonie. I tried a lot of headphones and Organic is the best for me. Soundstage, details, realistic sound, fixed bass response. About bass. It’s important. Audeze I have experience with lcd2, closed, x and 4. They have bass like everywhere but in same time. Bass response is very powerful but mono if I could say like this. But Organic conduct bass response regarding every instrument in realistic manner. I was shocked. The best bass response I have ever faced.

That's a Grumpy Goose! This guy sells them on a limited basis (and they sell out in minutes when he does drops) instagram.com/oneills.creation.workshop?igsh=aDc4amNlNjQ2YW9i

Well... my RU7 performs really well with the Organic. Are you sticking to portable solutions I'm guessing?

@@Skeeb23 I would like too yes. Is the sound signature better on the RU7? I think the tremble is sometimes a bit harsh on the organic. Was debating on getting the HEK Stealth or the Organic and endet up buying the Organic, bcs of the better bass and subbass. Read about the Ef400 and 600, and a lot of people are saying is it improves the soundstage and smoothness of the tremble.. but I don’t want to be desktop dependent with a static setup.

@@ilovecoldplayyyy ok good to know. No, the RU7 won't take the treble. Honestly the RU6 may do that being an R2R DAC but I don't want to refer anything if I didn't hear it actually paired with the Organic. I would go with something someone has had experience with the Organic. My 2 🪙

@@Skeeb23 did you tried other Amps/Dacs of dongles? How is the paring with the RU7(Soundstage, Tremble?) Im thinking about buying it and selling the Ifi go bar

@@ilovecoldplayyyy I like it the most with my iHA-6 or the Liquid Platinum. For portable, yes it does great with the RU7. I like it more so then the Go Bar. Better for details on the RU7. I'd be curious to hear it on an R2R to see if it curbs the treble energy any.

Yes definitely. They’re very easy to drive. For the price mojo2 would be my top pick

Yes, what @kajetan9550 said. Easiest to drive Arya yet!

Yeah I use a btr7 with my xs, mojo 2 has like 1w+ right? Probably have a ton of headroom.

@Hijynx87 nah, it's less, can't remember exactly but I think it's 600mW into 32ohms

Write my comments here about mojo 2. I was really surprised how it handle with Organic. Magnificent.

😁

It's all about preferences.

No idea as of yet. I'm very careful with all of my gear so time will tell.

😂

and yet its beating overpriced sennheiser..

I really don't see how iterations of a headphone are a problem, especially when you start your complaint of one of the top headphone companies in the world with a condescending "oh great, another headphone from China". Not cool. Also not sure why youd rather a headphone have almost no iteration or improvement for like 25 years like an HD600. Im glad they still sell them because its still solid, but not every brand is going to make the most popular headphone of all time that will still sell decades later with only the smallest of changes. Hifiman is fantastic, but they dont have the brand loyalty of the casual audio audience in the west that Sennheiser does to do something like that.

@@PantsaBear you don't see it? ok assuming you never tested any of the 2 products... you meet 2 people and 1 has D90 dac... whatever 0,1 difference iteration, and another one has a Graham Slee Majestic. What of the 2 gear are you most interested in? When you flood the market with products, there is nothing interested about the products anymore, the small differences can be disregarded, everything is mostly the same. Sure you will find differences so you can say this product is more like this then that product but is really not interesting. Even if we talk about a well know product like Chord Qtest, it is still interesting to hear because sound improves with the source quality, so unless you use it stock or a 50$ iFi psu, most likely you still has something new to test. The only Chinese product that I would say it is interesting is Susvara because they made it with intent, they made it how they like it, and it is nothing to improve that merits a revision for a long time. Why I would have a long standing product like HD600? because represents an achieved idea for a sound signature, and the fact people still buy them it means it also represent a base to compare other products.

Organic is great, but definitely not something you can turn the amp up on and amplify detail in the lows and mids. The Arya Stealth isnt as bright, but it just doesnt have the bass or lower mids that Id like either I actually compared both the Organics and the Arya Stealths to my Moondrop Venus. I think the Venus makes a lot of sense as a compliment to the Organic, as the Venus you can throw a ton of power at to get a ton of air and detail without hitting a treble/upper mid spike like you do on the Organics. Fantastic headphone

@@PantsaBear Terrific insight and completely agree on the Organic. Way too much sizzle at the volume levels I listen too. My Caldera while not as airy and wide sounding, it has incredible depth and imaging in it's stage and never hits those harsh peaks. I'm curious now about the Venus as it sounds like the type of cans I lean towards.

Even the stealth before this one is now 999. It's a good direction to see them taking.
