Susvara Unveiled

The fully open-back design of the planar headphone completely eliminates the negative effects of sound wave reflection, removing the last impediment to exceptional sound quality.

The model is named UNVEILED because the depth and inherent beauty of the music are unveiled to the listener.

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.

Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm in Microgram Weight

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 light 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.

Magnetic Veils

Specially designed to protect the fully open drivers of the SUSVARA UNVEILED.

Core Technology - Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm

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 and 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-sectional shape of the Stealth Magnets optimizes and reduces the air turbulence and diffraction between the magnets, allowing the sound to pass between them almost unaffected, without disrupting the sound quality as is experienced with traditional magnets.

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.

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 SUSVARA 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.

Cables

The cable configuration 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.

Officially Recommended Headphone Amplifier

The SUSVARA UNVEILED requires substantial amplifier power for maximum performance. It is important to match the headphone to a high quality, powerful amp, such as HIFIMAN's EF1000DAC/Amp. When used with the SUSVARA UNVEILED, the two products combine to create a new standard in personal audio sonic output. It's an unbeatable combination.
