HiFiMan Susvara

HiFiMan's legendary open-back flagship: the Susvara is widely considered one of the finest headphones ever made, combining nano-scale diaphragm technology with a dual-sided magnet array for a level of resolution that very few recordings are even capable of revealing.

Type and Technology

Over-ear, open-back, planar magnetic. Nanometer-thin diaphragm derived from the nano-technology used in HiFiMan's electrostatic research, combined with a double-sided magnet array. Notoriously demanding, requires a powerful, high-quality amplifier to reach its full potential.

Sound Character

Utterly transparent, holographic, and effortless; the Susvara sets a standard for resolution, imaging precision, and natural timbre that places it among the handful of headphones that define what the format is capable of. Every frequency band is handled with an authority and delicacy that lesser headphones approximate but cannot match. Amplifier quality matters enormously here.

Build and Comfort

Premium metal construction with a suspension headband, high-quality earpads, and the elegant understated aesthetic of HiFiMan's top-tier lineup. At 450g the Susvara is comfortable for long sessions when properly supported.

Best For

Experienced audiophiles with a resolving, high-power amplification chain; this is a headphone that rewards the finest source equipment and reveals everything the rest of your system is capable of.
