If sound quality is your top priority and you plan to mostly listen at home, the HifiMan Arya Stealth provides best-in-class audio with a very good soundstage but lacks a microphone and is not suitable for exercise, air travel, or noise isolation. The MW75-Neuro offers very good sound quality, excellent microphone and active noise cancelling, suitable for calls and air travel, but requires charging as it's wireless. Arya is open-back and wired, offering a more natural sound but leaks sound, while MW75-Neuro is closed-back, provides privacy, and includes innovative features like Neurable AI technology for focus and mental health, but is bulkier to carry. Both are high-end and may need extra equipment like amplifiers for Arya or compatible devices for MW75-Neuro's advanced codec support. Give Feedback

"The Arya can easily be end-game headphones for 99% of consumers, satisfying most audio desires. Priced well above USD$1000, the Arya are obviously and gloriously not for the mass market consumer; they are designed and built by enthusiasts for enthusiasts – especially those who view their expenses on this level of gear as investments."
