About HIFIMAN Founded by Dr. Fang Bian in 2007, HIFIMAN is widely regarded as one of the leading manufacturers of high performance headphones and portable audio products. HIFIMAN is especially known for its critically-acclaimed Planar-Magnetic headphones that feature state-of-the-art driver technology. The company also designs and manufactures world-class dynamic in-ear drivers which have also garnered awards and rave reviews Stealth Magnet Design, Bluemini R2R Stealth Magnets DesignHIFIMAN's NEO "supernano" Diaphragm(NsD)HIMALAYA R2R Architecture DACLight weight headbandTwo input options Headphone Specifications Frequency Response: 20Hz-20kHz Impedance: 18Ω Sensitivity: 93.5dB Weight: 360g 3.5mm balanced socket Stealth Magnets Design HIFIMAN’s advanced magnet design is acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing wave diffraction turbulence that degrades the integrity of the sound waves.

Acoustically Invisible Stealth Magnet 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. HIFIMAN’s advanced magnet design is acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing wave diffraction turbulence that degrades the integrity of the sound waves. The reduced distortion yields pure sonic output that is accurate and full-range.

I bought these not expecting to be as impressed as I am. I was seeking a cheaper pair of Bluetooth headphones that I would feel more comfortable taking out and about more frequently than my Ananda-BTs- something to use as more of a "beater" without risking loss or damage to an $800 pair like the Ananda BT.I expected to be disappointed, but wow, I was wrong.I have many pairs of Hifiman headphones (Ananda wired, Ananda BT, HE1000 V2, Edition XS, 400i, 400s, 4xx, HE-6 SE, HE-5 SE, HE560), and I love the sound of their planars, but I didn't care much for Sundara and I disliked the 5xx.I also have several other Bluetooth headphones - Grado GW100V2 & GW100x, Airpods Max, Bose QC45 & 700) The Grados are loud and quite good, but top-heavy tonality wise, the Airpods Max have extraordinary noise cancelling but an awful dip in the upper mids / lower treble that I can't stand, the Bose are comfortable with good ANC but not hifi. I use them only for air travel. The Ananda BT are very good but underpowered- not only can I not get the levels I would like out of them, but the bass often has a quality to it that feels like the amplifier is struggling a bit.The Deva Pro with the R2R Bluemini module is surprisingly not too far behind the Bluetooth version of the Ananda in overall sonics (though not nearly as good as the wired Ananda), and is better in bottom end punch, better in volume level, better in comfort than most all of the above-referenced bluetooth cans.It will play LOUD and clear from the Bluemini, similar to what can be achieved with a wired desktop amp. The bass has a subtle extra fun factor without stepping over the line, and hits with surprising authority. The tiny amp in the bluemini doesn't feel like it struggles at all, though you will hit a brickwall of clipping distortion if you drive it very loud with bass-heavy material. However, I would rather have this be the case and back the volume down a notch than have an amp that sounds weak on the bottom. The spaciousness and speed of planar is well on display here, and the spectrum is very well balanced. These lack the extra treble tizzle of many of Hifiman's planar headphones, and vocals sound very natural without any excessive peaks or brightness.I strongly dislike using EQ, especially digital EQ. I much prefer to have a pair of headphones that don't require it. However, the Deva Pro is an exception. These benefit from a high shelf around 11K of just a dB or so to open up the air and space a little bit, and maybe 2dB of cut with a wide Q around 200Hz or so to remove a touch of extra midbass.With these small tweaks, the Deva Pro Wireless are my new go-to headphones for wireless use when noise cancellation is not required.Don't get me wrong, Ananda BT are still the best sound quality in a Bluetooth headphone, with more detail, spaciousness, air, and refinement. But these are very good and better in comfort, bass quantity and fun factor, and attainable volume level.You will want to use LDAC codec for bluetooth if you have a device that supports it. I can hear a noticeable increase in fidelity as compared to Apt-X with these headphones, I think perhaps this may be more a factor on the DEVAs than others because of the slightly less high frequency output above 10K on these headphones. Combine that with a CODEC that presents less up there, and it is perceptible.It is true that the battery life is poor compared to other bluetooth headphones, but you must realize you are powering planar magnetic drivers with low sensitivity with a very powerful and tiny balanced amplifier module. Given that, the performance is commendable, hence 4 stars in this category.Comfort is excellent too, its surprising that a pair of full size planars can weigh so little.I also have other resistor ladder (R-2R) DACs, (Musician Pegasus, Airist Audio, Hifiman EF-400) and am familiar with their sonic characteristics. The Bluemini R2R does have that R2R flavor- no digital glare, organic warmth.At this price point, these are an excellent value, and from a sound quality perspective in a wireless headphone, they outperform everything else until you spend 2.5x as much for Ananda-BT.
