Description

HiFiMAN SUSVARA Reference Planar Magnetic Headphones – Price & Specifications

The HiFiMAN SUSVARA is one of the company’s most iconic reference-level planar magnetic headphones, created for listeners who demand exceptional transparency, tonal realism, spatial precision and dynamic expression.

Its ultra-light planar diaphragm, advanced magnetic structure and open-back architecture are designed to reproduce music with extraordinary speed, low distortion and natural scale.

HiFiMAN SUSVARA Planar Magnetic Performance

At the heart of the HiFiMAN SUSVARA is an exceptionally light planar magnetic diaphragm engineered for extremely fast response and low distortion.

Unlike a conventional dynamic driver, planar magnetic technology distributes the driving force across a much larger surface area of the diaphragm.

This helps the headphone reproduce subtle dynamic changes, micro-detail and complex musical passages with remarkable precision.

Advanced Magnet Architecture

The SUSVARA uses HIFIMAN’s acoustically optimized magnet technology to reduce interference between the magnetic structure and the sound waves generated by the diaphragm.

The streamlined magnet profile allows sound to move through the driver with less obstruction, reducing diffraction and unwanted turbulence.

The result is exceptionally low distortion, fast transient response and outstanding transparency.

Natural Tonality and Spatial Realism

One of the defining qualities of the HiFiMAN SUSVARA is its ability to combine extremely high resolution with a natural and unforced presentation.

Rather than emphasizing individual frequency regions, the headphone is designed to present music as a coherent whole, with deep bass extension, an open midrange and finely resolved high frequencies.

Its soundstage is spacious and layered, with precise image placement and a convincing sense of depth that allows complex recordings to remain easy to follow.

Premium Construction and Ergonomics

The HiFiMAN SUSVARA combines metal construction with carefully finished wood accents, creating a design that feels both technical and refined.

Its suspension-style headband distributes weight across a broad area of the head, while the large ear pads provide generous space around the ears.

At approximately 450g, the headphone remains manageable for extended listening sessions despite its large planar drivers and premium construction.

60Ω Impedance and 83dB Sensitivity

The SUSVARA has a nominal impedance of 60Ω and a sensitivity of just 83dB.

These specifications make it one of the most demanding headphones in the HIFIMAN range.

A powerful and high-quality headphone amplifier is strongly recommended. In a properly matched system, the HiFiMAN SUSVARA can deliver greater bass authority, dynamic scale and overall control.

Open-Back Driver Design

The highly open rear structure allows the planar diaphragm to operate with minimal acoustic restriction.

This helps create the wide, deep and highly natural soundstage for which the HiFiMAN SUSVARA is known.

The open architecture also allows fine ambience and spatial cues from the recording to remain clearly audible.

Balanced and Single-Ended Cables Included

The headphone is supplied with two full-size cables for easy integration into reference headphone systems.

3m cable with 4-pin XLR termination
3m cable with 6.35mm termination

This allows direct connection to both balanced and conventional high-end headphone amplifiers.

HiFiMAN SUSVARA vs SUSVARA UNVEILED

The original SUSVARA and the SUSVARA UNVEILED share HIFIMAN’s flagship planar magnetic philosophy, but they take different acoustic approaches.

The original HiFiMAN SUSVARA uses a traditional open-back protective structure and is known for its natural tonality, smoothness and exceptional spatial coherence.

The SUSVARA UNVEILED removes the conventional rear grille, increases sensitivity and introduces a metallic silver conductor layer, placing even greater emphasis on transparency, openness and spatial freedom.

The original model remains an exceptional choice for listeners who value refinement, tonal balance and a deeply natural presentation.

Who Is the HiFiMAN SUSVARA For?

The HiFiMAN SUSVARA is intended for experienced listeners building a reference-level headphone system around a powerful amplifier and high-quality DAC.

It is particularly well suited to acoustic music, classical recordings, jazz, vocals and complex studio productions where tonal accuracy, micro-dynamics and spatial realism matter most.

Because of its low 83dB sensitivity, amplifier matching is critical for the SUSVARA to achieve its full dynamic scale, bass authority and spatial realism.
