In 2017, HiFiMAN dropped its $6000 SUSVARA open-back planar-magnetic headphone, and it quickly became the TOTL, best you can buy headphone.
Today, its successor has arrived, HiFiMAN's new SUSVARA UNVEILED. Capable of revealing even more musical detail with its grill-less ear cups, the new open-back sells for $8000 and features a freshly developed new diaphragm along with Magnetic Veils that fit over the cups when not in use.
“We named the new model SUSVARA UNVEILED because every detail of well-recorded music is unveiled by the headphone’s design and components. As the follow-up to our successful SUSVARA reference headphone, SUSVARA UNVEILED is the manifestation of our ongoing commitment to continually improving upon even the most successful and highest performing products in our line.”
Dr. Fang Bian, Founder and CEO, HiFiMAN Electronics
The Susvara Unveiled boasts a metallic silver conductor layer leveraging its highly conductive properties. Sensitivity has been elevated and resistance is lower, making the Susvara Unveiled much easier to drive - a welcome achievement! High-end audio performance demands an increased sense of airiness, and the Susvara Unveiled delivers this in abundance.
HIFIMAN’s Stealth Magnet technology is also incorporated and features their proven asymmetrical, double-sided magnetic circuit. The Stealth system maximizes efficient transmission of sound and control, dropping distortion to extremely low levels for naturally warm sound, masterful imaging, and incredible transparency.
CNC-created Magnetic Veils protect the grill-less ear cups from damage and magnetic absorption when not in use.
