Bloom's Take

In 2017, HiFiMAN dropped its $6000 SUSVARA open-back planar-magnetic headphone, and it quickly became the TOTL, best you can buy headphone.

Compared to its predecessor, Susvara Unveiled offers a bigger soundstage with more clarity and resolution, all while being more efficient and easier to drive with a broader range of amps. It also features a freshly developed new diaphragm along with Magnetic Veils that fit over the extremely wide-open cups when not in use.

With speed and resolution that compete with electrostatics, and some of the best imaging and dynamics ever heard in a headphone, Unveiled’s sound and performance is legendary in its own right.

Susvara Unveiled

The fully open-back design of HiFiMAN's new flagship planar completely eliminates the negative effects of sound wave reflection, removing the last impediment to exceptional sound quality. It's namesake highlights the Unveiled nature of the depth and inherent beauty of the music to the listener.

HiFiMAN's technology has evolved since the OG SUSVARA. Since the nanometer thickness diaphragm is sensitive to reflected sound waves, HFM chose to further increase the openness of the back of the headphone which was the inspiration for the UNVEILED's removable back panel.

“We named it 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 headphone, 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

A Worthy Successor

The Susvara Unveiled boasts a silver conductor layer leveraging its highly conductive properties. With elevated sensitivity and lower resistance, the Susvara Unveiled is much easier to drive - a welcome achievement! High-end audio performance demands an increased sense of airiness, and the 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.

Window Shade Design

Traditional headphones use a mesh with a lower opening ratio for the grill leading to reflections and refraction detrimental to sound quality. The incredibly light nanometer thickness diaphragm is easily disturbed by sound waves reflected / 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.

However, this window shade design 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 Magnetic Veils have been introduced to protect the fully open drivers of the Susvara Unveiled.

Due to the magnetic properties of the driver, it's important to cover the ear cups with these Veils to avoid damage caused by absorption of magnetic objects when not in use.

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, contoured and mold to the user's head, providing superb comfort for long listening sessions.

Cables

The cable configuration 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 feature 6.3mm and 4-pin XLR plugs for maximum flexibility with your professional audio gear.
