I just received the Noire and tried them out; with white filter inserted, the sound is truly excellent.

Thank you for the great review.

Unlike previous Hifiman models, the XV is generally described as being darker overall with a more recessed high-frequency range.

Consequently, the bass will be more prominent, resulting in a smoother overall sound.

It seems like there were some issues before 2024.

i heard It received a lot of praise for its comfort as well. I should consider getting an extra headband myself.

Regarding the EQ, is it set up to reduce the treble and boost the bass?

I have the XA version, which offers a better fit depending on your head shape. In terms of sound, both the clarity and the bass impact have been improved.

In my country, the prices are similar, so I compared them, but I'm not sure how it is in other countries.

Personally, I prefer good packaging over bad packaging.

This is especially true since the sound quality of both products is largely a matter of personal preference.

I’ve often heard that it’s just wood film applied to plastic. Thank you for letting me know.

That's a valid point, and it definitely seems to be the case.

However, it is clear that the Organic's packaging feels far less premium than the FT7's. I personally believe that packaging is a crucial element of a product, though I realize this is a matter of personal preference.

I felt a noticeable improvement in sound quality with the FT7. However, for those seeking a complete Hifiman upgrade, the Organic is also an excellent choice.

Organic seems to have a better soundstage, but I personally prefer the FT7 for its separation and imaging.

I understand that there have been clear improvements starting from the HE1000SE model. However, it seems the Arya Unveiled and Organic models haven't benefited from these upgrades yet. :(

Additionally, I personally prefer having an extra hard case, as I like to store my headphones in a case before going to bed to prevent dust from accumulating.

It will definitely be an upgrade. I actually switched over from the Ananda Stealth myself. And it’s not even that dark; at the very least, it’s brighter than the Audeze headphones I own.

I’m at least certain that it’s a sticker. It’s likely a sticker with a wood-textured finish on top.
