I’m looking for an upgrade from my Hifiman Ed. XS, should I look at the Arya stealth or organic?
Unlike most people, I actually find the XS quite comfortable. I have a big head and I lucked out and they fit perfectly. With that being said, I’m purely looking for a upgrade in sound and I’ve heard a lot of conflicting opinions on the arya stealth and organic. I’ve seen some say that the stealth is more or less the same headphone with better build quality (which I don’t care about) and that the organics, while better, still don’t justify the nearly 600 dollar price difference. I’m extremely impressed with hifimans sound for the money, I think the soundstage is incredible and the bass is deep and colorful without being punchy or overbearing.
Would either the stealth or the organic really get me a more immersive listening experience, or would I be paying hundreds more for an imperceptible difference in sound?
