Hifiman Susvara

Hifiman Susvara open back, Flagship planar magnetic driver headphone.

HIFIMAN has been researching and developing Nanometer Grade diaphragms for many years, this core technology has been further refined in the design of SUSVARA. The production, processing and installation of diaphragm materials is highly complex.

The drivers of extremely high tensile strength and low thickness and mass means it can produce tremendously low distortion levels yet offer an outstanding dynamic response. This, while difficult, can be achieved at the same time by combining this diaphragm and “Stealth Magnet” technology. Each working in harmony for an end result where the audio produced is of a remarkable tonal quality and clarity.

This light, high tensile strength material with the acoustically invisible “Stealth Magnets” are a perfect sound producing pairing. We selected from numerous prototype designs and production methods and find the best-sounding materials without regard to cost. As the successor to the HE6, the SUSVARA also uses a gold coating conductor on its diaphragm.

The “Window Shade” on the SUSVARA has been painstakingly optimised to avoid any resonant frequencies. This leads to superior aural purity, tonally clean and unadulterated yet provides practical protection for the ultrafine diaphragm and additionally offering an appealing visual aesthetic.

Ergonomic and comfortable headband is designed to fit for most people, with greater reliability and durability. The metal headband structure is created via CNC milling and hand polishing.

The cable configuration used for the SUSVARA is a single crystalline copper wire alongside a single crystalline silver wire. A special composition ratio and quantity of the materials have ensured low resistance in the signal transmission and high mechanical strength for daily use which should ensure a long and fruitful existence.

The SUSVARA is a low sensitivity headphone meaning it will require more than average amplifier power to drive it properly. Matching the SUSVARA to a high quality and potent amplifier is critical to allowing it to reach its fullest potential.
