Hifiman Deva Bluetooth Headphones

Product Information

HiFiMAN has a simplified look to all their product packaging nowadays, and the Deva Pro are no exception. So with the Deva Pro, unlike with the original, users can use their balanced cables and it is much more easy to find after-market cables. jack to connect the Y-shaped cable to, but be very careful to make sure the right channel plugs in all the way—many users report the right channel not working as it’s supposed to, only to find out they hadn’t plugged that side in sufficiently. After all, headphones like this aren’t consumables: they’re tools to get you the best audio quality possible at the expense of simplicity. The boost near 11kHz cannot hide the lack of resonance, instead, it adds an unnatural “sheen” to hi-hats and crash cymbals.

HIFIMAN Deva Pro Review — Headfonics

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. The soundstage is impressive, with this open-back headphones you get an airy, resolute and detailed experience.But if you are happy with the purchase, I think Deva Pro is a unique pair that has good flexibility due to the Bluemini module. However, we are not just comparing sound, there are so many other things that fit into the equation. Back in 2020 I reviewed the original Hifiman Deva, a set of headphones that was available with or without the Bluetooth module. This wire allows using the BlueMini module to plug into just one earcup and get sound on both sides. 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”?

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. 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.While the advantages to the planar magnetic driver design are lost, the HD 6XX is far lighter than the Sundara, and much easier to wear over the course of a workday. 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. The rating is primarily due to the sound in the end, and other “lifestyle features” are peripheral in my book.

The solitary button can be used to power on or off via long-press, whereas a short-press disconnects the Deva Pro from the current device. It would be really helpful to get a comparison of the Deva vs a 400i or 4xx for sound comparison purposes. The packaging is the usual Hifiman packaging which they changed recently with an all cardboard look, bundled with an average dual 3. Although I have used them in both scenarios, my review is going to focus on using them mainly with the BT module, as I feel that is what makes these headphones special.Intro​In 2019, HiFiMAN surprised everyone when they announced the Ananda BT, a pair of wireless, planar-magnetic headphones that were also open-back. For obvious reasons, I used bluemini as a source for my assessment, but also the xduoo mu602 stationary amplifier with the MT602 DAC and the iBasso DX170 file player.
