Bose 700 vs Hifiman Arya

If anything else it’s very jarring to hear the accompanying “popping” that occurs with the added acute noise cancellation. Build quality: See picture…I’ve had these three months, have only worn them daily for two weeks as a test and the stainless steel frame has scratches from the ear cups. Also, every time I turn my head, a wonderful rubbing sound of the ear cup turning. In this department I am a bit of a snob

. They know what I'm talking about! Audeze LDC-X, Sennheiser HD 820S and the lot don't even come close!

Sound is very subjective so it's difficult to recommend something based on what it sounds like but in my opinion these headphones somehow achieve the ...

Build is better although not significantly. Bass is probably tighter? And repeated comparisons immediately between Ananda and Arya will show mild improvement in tonality. Once you start listening you forget which one you are wearing and sometimes liking Ananda more. Good headphones but is it worth the extra three times the price for a 5% maybe change ? To me it’s not

The power button is the top button on the back of the right ear cup. Click it once to turn on the headphones and you'll hear this nice string chord le...

Providing decent audio quality in a very convenient wireless form factor for on-the-go situations. They have better sound quality than the WH-1000XM3s that I used to have and fit the role of travel headphones well, even without ANC.

If you're money conscious, I'd say hold off on these for now and test them out yourself if you can before purchasing. But if you got to get these, aga...

They are not expensive and using these you will hear much more detail and clarity. All other cables I've tried sound grainy and veiled by comparison. Best to stick with these unless you are going to shell out big bucks for Moon Silver Dragons or the Artisan Silver Dream 2.

Now when it comes to these headphones design… thats all subjective. But personally I don't like the not so low profile headband and only being able to...

. I would only recommend these at a lower price point $1100-$1250 or HIFIMAN make improvements like: Headband sizing Headband Leather Aluminum Parts (yoke, cans) Audio cable(s) 7n OFC (At this price should not even have to be suggested) Carrying case (At this price should not even have to be suggested)

Now what I actually like about them. The adjustable headset has a smooth and sleek design. They are very lightweight and comfortable to wear. I really love that they are touch sensitive and I don't have to take them off to adjust the settings

Slightly laid back sound signature that can be little bright sometimes with warmish properties ( more prominent bass but less harsh treble than firmly bright headphone like the hd800). Good detail, resolution, and a wide sound stage. Bass extension is very good and have enough impact for me but maybe not so much for bass heads, mids are soothing, and treble is good but can sound just a lil harsh/too bright in poorer recordings imho.

BEATS – NOT FOR ME OR MY HEAD My first pair of headphones were Beats Solo. I was really impressed with wireless headphones in general. Eventually after the Solos started to fall apart, I decided to get Beats Studio 3. These worked much better for my head, as these were truly over my year, which I prefer

Also had to apply some pressure to the metal joints on the head piece to alleviate excessive pressure. These are all adjustments built into the design though and no problem for the headphone (meaning, adjust as you need to!). Once you lubricate the parts however, you will find these are silent, well-built headphones made of good parts, sexy black color-scheme and light-weight solid construction. Caveats: 1
