HiFiMAN Deva-Pro Over-Ear Full-Size Open-Back Planar Magnetic Headphone with Bluetooth Dongle/Receiver, Himalaya R2R Architecture DAC, Easily Switch Between Wired and Wireless, Bluetooth 5.0

Product Information

Yet the Deva allows for a good, thumping EDM session, the slamming of drums and the rumble of King Kong when he gets up for his mourning routine in his latest movie. The Hifiman Deva Pro was sent over by Hifiman for the purpose of this review, I received no monetary compensation nor was I influenced in any way to produce this review.

The headphone consists of aluminum and faux leather, which combine beautifully together and feel premium in the hand. I think HiFiMAN have taken some of the criticism regarding build quality to heart, since the yoke structure for the Deva is all one piece.

The cable included is…it’s a basic, black Hifiman cable, there’s nothing more to say about it, to be honest. The frequency response ranges from 20Hz to 20kHz which enables you to hear your music in its full glory down to the tiniest details. Even if you consider just the headphones themselves only a 4/5 in terms of quality (which I’d still argue isn’t particularly fair/accurate, but it’s definitely way, WAAAAAAY less so), this is EASILY a 4.

I have compared the Himalaya to the original Bluemini and I found it to be fuller sounding with a more engaging and musical presentation plus it is a touch more powerful and dynamic. Where the Deva’s tonality differs most significantly from the typical HiFiMAN sound signature is in the upper mids and treble.A general note: measurements from the GRAS 43AG will be available for future reviews, but as of writing this it's still in the setup stages and hasn't been configured. The highlight of the Deva Pro is the BlueMini R2R module (it can be purchased separately if you wish).
