HIFIMAN introduced, last June, one of the most anticipated updates in the company’s history, the Susvara Unveiled, an all-new version of their esteemed Susvara reference open-back planar headphone.
Most headphones incorporate a metal mesh as a grill to protect the drivers. HIFIMAN’s top tier models including HE1000 and the original Susvara are specially designed to maximize the exposure rate of the grills because the nanometer-thick diaphragm is so lightweight that reflections from the grill disturb the movement pattern of the diaphragm. But the most effective way to avoid sound wave reflection and refraction effects from the grill is to eliminate the entirety of the grill design, leading to complete openness of the diaphragm. The result is sound that is demonstrably more detailed and open, the company says, which is why HIFIMAN refers to this approach as Unveiled technology.
The open section of the headphone features a removable back panel, called Magnetic Veil, that is a result of HIFIMAN using CNC technology, relying on computer software to control the movement and operation of machines that cut, carve, and engrave materials. Magnetic Veils fit over the ear cups, helping to avoid damage caused by the absorption of magnetic objects when the headphone is not in use.
New to the Susvara Unveiled is a metallic silver conductor layer, as silver 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, the company stated.
The Susvara Unveiled incorporates HIFIMAN’s Stealth Magnet technology, featuring an asymmetrical, double-sided magnetic circuit that gradually adjusts the magnet’s gap and cross-sectional shape, both inside and outside of the diaphragm. According to the details published, this approach achieves maximum sound transmittance and diaphragm control force at a refined balance point, reducing distortion to a bare minimum for sound that is naturally warmer, with maximum imaging and transparency.
