Staging is narrow, partly due to the upper-mid focus and partly due to the driver design not aiding in staging. The strings and details are at an impressive and very high level, and the whole thing has a lot of freedom and air. The Deva Pro have been kindly loaned to me by Hifiman for me to evaluate them and create this review. Unlike the sound waves created by a conventional magnet, the special shape of Stealth Magnets enables the waves to pass through the magnets without generating interference. The Deva Pro is lightweight, at 360gr and it is super comfortable wit

HIFIMAN Deva Pro Review — Headfonics

Personally I much prefer this as I find the other material causes me to itch (and produces more heat). Desire to learn and share knowledge of science required as is 20 years of participation in forums (not all true). Seeing that the R2R version of the Bluemini is replacing the old one in all current bundles speaks of HIFIMAN’s confidence about its sound and indeed it proves to be a more refined, more organic and grippy listen with better timbre. Based on your and other review, Deva seems to be a better match than Sundara for those who focus on mid-range, vocals, classics and jazz as well as little bit more bass.Texture, sense of weight, speed, the detailing and nuancing of dynamics for each instrument in the mix is a whole step better now. The soundstage is impressive, with this open-back headphones you get an airy, resolute and detailed experience. The 3kHz peak on the Deva Pro is also not really present in comparison to something like the HE400se. It’s only natural that we can expect HIFIMAN to implement this in all their headphones now and only a matter of time.

The midrange evolves from the original DEVA in new and better ways but instead of just having slapped in the new magnet array HIFIMAN made some more homework to make sure that the tonality and timbre aspects follow the technical foundation.It’s hard to make an “apples vs apples” comparison with the Deva Pro since I have not used another wireless, open-back, planar magnetic pair of headphones.

This product doesn’t block out any outside noise, requires a decent amount of power to work well, and isn’t wireless. This wire allows using the BlueMini module to plug into just one earcup and get sound on both sides. The headband is padded, has a metallic inner reinforcement and is covered with leatherette on the outside. It starts to roll off around the same point as the HE400se or even the Ananda, but the actual drop is more pronounced on the Deva Pro.The shape is something that is hard to describe in words, so please look at the image, but it attaches to the bottom of the left cup and has the USB-C port, a single button and the microphone on the bottom. Being a fan of Hifiman, I am always interested in trying out their stuff and while I am not a huge BT headphone fan (although my use of BT has increased quite a bit since having the Go Blu), these headphones are not the typical BT headphones, but I’ll get to that. They’re on full speed with new models such as the HE-1000SE, HE6-SE, the R2R2000 DAP/streamer, the Arya, Sundara, Ananda and now Deva. The HE400se have a mostly neutral tonality with a bright tilt in the upper-mid and upper-treble regions.

Hifiman Deva Review — Headfonics

Moreover, I am reviewing the BT version, so I cannot bring up the non-BT version since that would require a very different set of criterion to judge the product. O___O But there’s a reason you are LITERALLY the ONLY person on the planet with it… Aka, either you got a bad pair of cans (which is totally possible w/ HiFiMan’s, tbf) or much more likely IMO, you’re just an absolutely freaking crap judge of headphones. The second generation of this amazing bluetooth receiver based on hifiman’s proprietary solutions and the R2R system is above average when it comes to capabilities. They’re not designed to isolate you from the outside world, but that’s by design: an open back means it’s a lot easier to avoid the complications of having a sealed volume of air behind the headphone drivers, and that can allow for better performance of the working headphone parts themselves.As the cable issue is by far the most common complaint levied against the HiFiMan Sundara, please take a deep breath if you do run into this, as nine times out of ten it’s an easy fix. Bluemini wireless module - using in house developed Himalaya R2R Dac chip - ultra low energy consumption (20 mW compared to PCM 1704 450 mW), snr matching PCM 1704 chip (120 dB), and thd comparable to PCM 1704 chip(0. This is a system that allows the Deva Pro to be used with both the BT module and the normal cable that is included. In that case, I’d highly recommend the Sennheiser HD560S (check out my review of that here for more details).
