HiFiMAN has redefined the standards of audiophile-grade headphones with the introduction of the Susvara Unveiled Planar Magnetic Headphones. As the successor to the acclaimed Susvara model, this new flagship promises an unparalleled auditory experience. The completely open design, free from traditional grilles, allows for an extraordinary level of musical detail, making it a must-have for discerning audiophiles.
With the Susvara Unveiled, HIFIMAN introduces the next evolution of its legendary flagship. The original Susvara was already celebrated for its resolution and realism, yet the Unveiled version takes things further: a completely grill-less back, nanometer diaphragm, and stealth magnet technology reduce reflections and distortion to a minimum. The result is sound that feels free, effortless, and lifelike – closer than ever to a true loudspeaker experience.
The most striking change is the “Unveiled” design. By removing traditional protective grills, the diaphragm can breathe freely. To protect the drivers when not in use, HIFIMAN supplies magnetic covers called Magnetic Veils, which can be attached in seconds.
At its core remains the nanometer-thick diaphragm, a film of extreme lightness and responsiveness. Paired with Stealth Magnets, shaped to let air pass without turbulence, distortion is lowered to near-imperceptible levels. The result: transparency that reveals even the tiniest nuances in a recording.
Listeners describe the Unveiled as having a fuller, more authoritative bass compared to the original, while maintaining reference-level control. The midrange is open and natural, making vocals and acoustic instruments feel lifelike. The treble extends smoothly without harshness, allowing for fatigue-free listening. The soundstage expands wide and deep, combining airiness with pinpoint imaging.
Unlike the notoriously demanding original, the Susvara Unveiled (86 dB / 45 Ω) is more amplifier-friendly than the OG Susvara (83 dB / 60 Ω). While it still requires a powerful headphone amplifier or speaker amp, it is slightly less restrictive and can achieve satisfying results with a broader range of setups.
The Susvara Unveiled is designed for serious audiophiles who want the ultimate listening tool. It excels in classical, jazz, acoustic, and any genre where micro-details and realism matter most. This is not a travel headphone but a reference instrument for home listening in a high-end system.
