Headphone Overview
Thank you for purchasing the HIFIMAN Arya Organic planar magnetic headphone.
HIFIMAN is one of the leading high-performance audio brands in the world. The
Arya Organic incorporates our renowned design concepts, including patented
technologies that will provide you with exceptional pleasure for years to
come.
This guide is intended to share important information with you about the
special design, technologies and care that went into Arya Organic and how you
can maximize your enjoyment.
The Stealth Magnets
The latest innovation in the world of planar magnetic headphones is the
development of a new design of magnet. We have called these “Stealth Magnets”
after the core principle of anything stealth, to be as invisible as possible.
Thus, the advanced magnet design used on the Arya Organic aims to be as
acoustically transparent, or invisible as possible. In traditional designs the
magnets get in the way of the sound waves, by reflection and diffraction. This
creates constructive and destructive interference and as these points shift
with frequency changes there is a mass of wave interference taking place.
The use of “Stealth Magnets” means the sound wave reproduction can take place
without the necessary magnets getting in their own way ruining the sonic
purity of their output.
Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm
Assures Remarkable Reproduction
Unlike conventional dynamic drivers, HIFIMAN planar headphones utilize a very
thin film in proximity to an array of magnets to create sound that is detailed
and lifelike with outstanding clarity. Generally, the thinner the film means
lower mass, yielding faster response and lower distortion which in turn are
key elements that create natural sound reproduction.
In the Arya Organic, the film we use is so thin, it is a diaphragm in
nanometer thickness which is a breakthrough core technology developed by
HIFIMAN for headphone applications. To give you an idea how thin the film is,
if you were to view it from the side, it would be invisible to the naked eye.
Working with this advanced material is extremely challenging yet the
successful incorporation of this film as the planar driver is the cornerstone
of its remarkable sound.
Patented “Window Shade” System
Created to meet the need for driver protection and optimized open-back design
HIFIMAN utilizes an “Open Back” design for best possible sound. A patented
“Window Shade” is precisely structured to gain greater openness in the
headphone design. It keeps the sound waves from reflection and refraction to
avoid unwanted vibration and distortion. Result is a wider soundstage,
outstanding imaging and remarkable clarity. Aesthetically, the “Window Shade”
also provides a unique, high-tech look.
The Headband
Ergonomic and comfortable headband design for most people, with greater
reliability and durability The headband is the result of clever industrial
design. It will accommodate a wider range of head sizes while applying
pressure
evenly over the wearers head. The metal headband structure is created via CNC
milling and hand polishing. To adjust the headband, simply move each ear cup
up or down until the top of the headband rests comfortably on your head and
heear cups surround your ears.
The Cable and Channel Orientation
The Arya Organic keeps things simple with a single Crystalline Copper cable. With a jet black woven exterior finish, it’s the perfect complement to the sound and look of the Arya Organic. The cable is user-replaceable and has channel orientation for left and right. A “L” and “R” are indicated inside the headband. Once the cable is installed with correct channel orientation, an easy way to tell left and right is the cable is connected toward the front of the ear cup. The cable will drape on the user’s chest for greater comfort.
The Plugs
The package includes a 6.35mm connector cable so it can be used with a wide
array of desktop amplifiers. The cables are easily changed so if you require a
4.4mm or XLR cable one can easily be swapped over to meet your needs. The Arya
Organic itself has 3.5mm sockets for easy connection to the latest HIFIMAN
range of cables.
The Ear Pads
The ear pads have been specially designed to be thicker with an asymmetrical shape that follows the form of the ear. The pads are beveled so that they contour to the shape of your head for superb comfort and extended listening.

Setup Instructions
Headband Adjustment
To help fit the headphone to your head, you may use the two adjustment blocks
to change the position of the headband strap to better accommodate your head.
Replacing Ear Pads
To remove the ear pads, locate the clips on the inside of the pad, and use two
fingers to gently bend them in and slip them out. To install new pads, simply
align the ear pad with the mounting ring, and gently bend the clips so they
slot in their appropriate locations.
Set-up and Operation
- Please allow for a period of “burn in” where you allow playback of audio for a period of 150 hours to allow the headphones to reach their fullest audio potential.
- The headphone connectors utilize a new 3.5mm connector (our prior models use 2.5mm). They slot in an identical fashion to the standard 3.5mm sockets as found on a multitude of audio devices.
- The supplied cable is user changeable and replaceable.
- Be aware the Arya Organic is relatively sensitive so please make sure to turn the volume dial low before connecting to an audio source. You only have 1 pair of ear drums, look after them.
- Please listen to the Arya Organic at moderate listening levels so that you can continue to enjoy their audio quality for years to come.
- The drivers do not require user maintenance, do not touch them. Please contact HIFIMAN if your drivers have a problem.
Care and Maintenance
Planar headphones benefit from break-in to achieve optimum performance.
Usually this takes up to 150 hours however there is nothing special you need
to do other than enjoy your headphones. Wipe the surfaces (ear pads, cups)
with a microfiber cloth and store the headphone in a dry, cool and safe place
(away from dust, heat, humidity, sunlight, younger kids and pets if possible).
For the headband, wipe it periodically to remove any dust. Do not expose the
headphone to excessive heat or cold. Do not use any headphone while driving or
operating machinery. Do not use volatile substances alcohol, acetone, gasoline
or dish detergent to clean the headphone.
