Arya Organic

Likes it but doesn't love it: it is sibilant and too bright for the rock they listen to.

“Just bought this Arya Organic, I like it but not loving it, it's sibillant. Have you any recommendations not as bright as this ones? I usually listen to rock”

Was excited for them but found them underwhelming; they didn't live up to the hype or make them want to rediscover their music.

“I was so excited to get my Organic’s. But……”sigh” for me they didn’t live up to all the hype they got.”

Very sharp-sounding at first but they adjusted; returned it because the 3.5 mm cable plugs hit their shoulders when lying down and cut the connection, unlike their Sundara.

“Is very sharp , but you get used to it after a while . Big issue with the 3,5 mm plugs .. They touch my shoulders especialy when I lay down and so interrupting contact.”

Returned the Arya Stealth because its treble hurt, but the Organic became the best headphone they've owned for metal, with fast, hard-hitting double kick drums.

“I definitely didn't expect these to end up being the best headphone I've owned for metal, but here we are. Nothing even comes close in my experience. Double kick drums punch hard and fast in these”

A metal fan of 40 years who bought them right after auditioning; on a FiiO K9 Pro ESS they sound phenomenal for metal.

“I've been a metalhead for the past 40 years. I instantly bought a pair of Arya Organics last week after auditioning them.”

Bright on brass, fixed with a -5 dB shelf at 6 kHz; a little disappointed by the brightness but finds it incredible otherwise.

“Arya Organic is definitely bright with the brass instruments. Using the the -5db shelf 6k works like a charm. Was little disappointed by the bright nature of the head phones”

Owns both the Edition XS and the Organic and finds the Organic a huge, worthwhile upgrade, the best they've heard.

“I did this. Have both. It's a huge upgrade. To me it was worth it, I thought XS was my endgame until I tried the Organic”

After the Arya Stealth and other gear, sold everything for speakers and the Arya Organic, and is very pleased.

“I went from Arya Stealth to Variations to MKIII. I just sold all three and bought Buchardt p300 Speakers as well as the Arya Organic. I am very pleased.”

Just got them and has no problem with the treble; it makes cymbals sound exactly right.
