HiFiMAN Susvara Unveiled

HiFiMAN Susvara Unveiled

HIFIMAN named this Susvara version "Unveiled" because the depth and inherent beauty of the music are unveiled to the listener. The fully open-back design of the the planar headphone completely eliminates the negative effects of sound wave reflection, removing the last impediment to exceptional sound quality.

Featuring a revolutionary design including the removable "Magnetic Veil", Susvara Unveiled ensures pristine sound reproduction without compromise. HIFIMAN's cutting-edge Stealth Magnet technology further refines the listening experience, delivering natural warmth and unrivaled transparency by minimizing distortion.

Susvara Evolved

The technology is derived from HIFIMAN’s technological evolution of the original SUSVARA. Since the nanometer thickness diaphragm is sensitive to reflected sound waves, it is necessary to further increase the openness of the back of the headphone. This was the inspiration for the SUSVARA UNVEILED’s removable back panel.

Magnetic Veils

Specially designed to protect the fully open drivers of the SUSVARA UNVEILED. Due to the magnetic properties of the driver, it is important to cover the ear cups with the Magnetic Veils to avoid damage caused by absorption of magnetic objects when the product is not in use.

• REGULAR HEADPHONES: Commonplace products use mesh with a lower opening ratio as grill that leads to reflections and refraction that are detrimental to sound quality
• WINDOW SHADE DESIGN: Since the nanometer thickness diaphragm is very hight in weight, it is easily disturbed by sound waves reflected and refracted by the mesh. Therefore, HIFIMAN uses a window shade design to increase the opening rate, maximize the grill exposure and reduce the probability of reflection and refraction. The result: dramatically improved sound quality.
• SUSVARA UNVEILED: The design of the window shade cannot completely avoid reflection and refraction. Only by eliminating the window shade/grill design will near lossless sound quality be achieved.

Core Technology: Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm

Low distortion, high transient response, comprehensive improvement of dynamics and details. The thickness of the SUSVARA UNVEILED’s diaphragm is under a millionth of a meter. It is extremely light, and gives the headphone extremely fast response speed and outstanding dynamic range and frequency characteristics. Combined with the “Stealth Magnets” technology, the nanometer thickness diaphragm material is essential to the sonic output being clear and non-fatiguing, even after hours of listening.

Diaphragm Conductor Layer: Second only to Superconducting Material

SUSVARA uses a gold coating conductor layer. Thanks to gold’s ductility, the thickness of the conductor layer is extremely thin, However, the conductivity of gold is relatively low compared to metals such as silver an copper, resulting in the overall low sensitivity of the headphones. SUSVARA UNVEILED uses metallic silver as the conductor layer, as it boasts the highest conductivity of all metals, Sensitivity is maximized, subtle details are revealed and a sense of "air” that is so important for high-end audio performance is greatly improved.

Acoustically Invisible Stealth Magnets

The special streamlined cross-section shape of the Stealth Magnets optimizes and reduces the air turbulence and diffraction between the agents, allowing the sound to pass between them almost unaffected, without disrupting the sound quality as is experienced with traditional magnets. Unlike the sound waves created by a conventional magnet, the Stealth Magnets can be thought of as disappearing in front of the sound wave, which reduces many of the adverse effects on the sound.

Stealth Magnets

The special shape of the Stealth Magnets allows the sound to pass through the magnets perfectly without the sound quality degradation of traditional magnets, -Degradation of sound quality in a conventional planar magnetic headphone is caused by the magnets getting in the way of the sound wave. / Conventional electrostatic headphones experience degradation of sound quality caused by the stator’s interference. / A conventional dynamic driver’s frequency response can be altered due to distortions and vibrations across the diaphragm surface. Conventional dynamic drivers experience a larger frequency response distortion due to the severe distortions across its diaphragm.

The Ear Pads

The elegant asymmetry of the SUVARA UNVEILED’s ear pads conform to and fit around the human ear, comfortably distributing the weight evenly yet offering a secure and sound grip. The pads themselves are gently beveled, contouring and molding to the user’s head, providing superb comfort for long listening sessions.

The Cables

The cable conficuration used for the SUSVARA UNVEILED is a single crystalline copper wire alongside a single crystalline silver wire. The highly reliable socket reduces contact resistance to extremely low levels without affecting the transmission of audio signals. The supplied cables with SUSVARA UNVEILED feature 6.35mm and four-pin XLR plugs for maximum flexibility when connecting to headphone amplifiers and professional audio equipment.
