Introduction
This Z Reviews video focuses on a review of the new HiFiMAN Arya Stealth headphones. The reviewer, Chris, compares them to the original Arya and his Ananda headphones, highlighting sound quality improvements, design changes, and accessories.
Key Takeaways
Improved Sound Quality: The Arya Stealth offers a significant sound upgrade over the original Arya model, described as wider, smoother, and with better detail retrieval. The reviewer even states it's a 170% improvement in musical enjoyment.
Headband and Accessories: The Stealth model features an improved, more comfortable headband compared to the original Arya. However, the included cable is criticized as subpar, prompting the reviewer to use a higher-quality aftermarket cable. A built-in headphone stand is included in the packaging but deemed flimsy and impractical.

Overall Impression: Despite some criticisms about accessories and cable quality, the reviewer highly recommends the Arya Stealth, emphasizing the notable improvement in sound quality over previous models and competitors.
