The HiFiMAN Susvara is a renowned flagship open-back planar magnetic headphone celebrated for its exceptional clarity, dynamics, and soundstage. It features an ultra-thin nanometer-grade diaphragm for minimal distortion and rapid transient response, paired with Stealth Magnets that reduce wave diffraction for purer sound. The original model has a frequency response of 6Hz-75kHz, 60Ω impedance, and 83dB sensitivity, weighing 450g. A newer Susvara Unveiled variant improves openness with a grille-less design, magnetic veils, 45Ω impedance, 86dB sensitivity, and 430g weight. Both demand high-power amplification for optimal performance. Includes dual cables (3m 6.3mm and 4-pin XLR).
