Hifiman Deva Bluetooth Headphones

Product Information

The Bluetooth module, which I will speak about more in the functionality section next, is made of plastic and is of a simple black colour. I have a pair of Devas and love the headphones themselves, but the bluemini II's build quality was garbage and I wonder if the new one will be any different. Because equalizing best practices require you to drop the preamp gain settings a bit, ensuring you’ve got headroom to spare is important. Of course, cloth pads of any kind mean you may want to keep some fabric-safe cleaner around to handle sweat, skin oils, and other gunk—eventually you’ll be wallowing in all of that without it.

Hifiman Deva Review — Headfonics

The most notable changes in their latest driver revision are the stealth magnet assembly and the neo-supernano diaphragm.As with the vast majority of Hifiman headphones, the Deva Pro arrives in the typical black box with a silk lined interior. One potential use-case could be having them as an all-in-one solution, but then you are sacrificing the lifestyle features of the best wireless headphones and the sound quality of the best wired headphones. Meanwhile, the neo-supernano diaphragm refers to the nano-scale thinness of the diaphragm itself, with a sub-micron level voice coil traced onto the diaphragm. First of all, they are headphones that, together with the bluemini, offer a complete and amazing show of musical possibilities, without a single cable and without any compromises.

Full-Size Over Ear Headphones: Best and High End Planar

Just got the Deva Pro, gave it a 15min listen with the r2r module and it went to the burn-in process. Part of it might be the treble emphasis, but even after EQ-ing the treble down you don’t lose a lot of information. Also, how in the freaking heck can you claim the fundamentally gimped Ananda BT is better if you’ve “never used a pair of wireless open-back planar magnetic headphones before”? The stealth magnet sticker points to the revised driver design of this model—more on the driver redesign later in the Sound section. If someone likes rap, this is what they are looking for, jazz will also be found, metal, rock, soul is actually quite universal and spatial playing that will successfully find itself in any genre of music.If you’re hoping the HiFiMan Sundara will block out your surroundings, open-back headphones don’t really do that.

HIFIMAN Deva Pro Over-Ear Planar Magnetic Bluetooth Headphone

With cleaner treble performance and clarity due to better controlled soundwave flow, air between instruments and the air of fresh breath is more pronounced and apparent, giving the Deva Pro more openness and the feeling of resolve, while not pronouncing the 10khz+ frequency part which tends to give everything a hazy sheen. Due to this suck-out, upper-mids sound more intense than they should and are brought to the forefront. Their open-back nature make them unsuitable for commuting, though, and the low clamp force is not ideal when wearing them during physical activities. Ohms), I didn’t find that they needed any special form of amplification, although they do need more than a phone to drive them. Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee, Sony MA900, Hifiman HE-400, Fostex T50RPMK3, Grado SR225i, M-Audio Q40, KOSS Prodj200, Creative Aurvana Live!Packaged with the DEVA Pro is an update to the original Bluemini that enhances detail and overall performance through the company’s HIMALAYA DAC, which features the R2R architecture. It’s the 3rd headphone to receive the stealth magnet array after the HE-1000SE’s original inheritance from the Susvara. Hifiman was the first brand to release a high-end portable audio player, the HM-801, which was like a catalyst for Reference Audio Players that we know today. Upper-treble has some strong emphasis near 11kHz (to my ears) that adds “tizziness” to the sound, resulting in sharp snare hits and occasional glare. I am not saying that they aren’t good without the module (I will explain more as I go on) but I think the reason for purchasing them is to make the most of the BT module with having the cabled option available.
