Where HIFIMAN SUSVARA truly shines however, is the sound quality.

If you are listening to classical, jazz or electronic music, the HIFIMAN SUSVARA always brings you a full body, detailed sound.
Planar Magnetic Technology
Unique among the mundane planar magnetic headphones, the HIFIMAN SUSVARA employs advanced planar magnetic technology which affords them their superior sound. Ultra thin diaphragms being sandwiched between magnetic arrays are planar magnetic headphones like the HIFIMAN SUSVARA. Electrical signals pass through the diaphragm stimulating the magnets to make sound. The design guarantees more even flow of the diaphragm, which produces less distortion and carries a better sound.
The ultra thin diaphragm in the HIFIMAN SUSVARA is as thin as a fraction of a human hair, and what makes the headphones the unique are the difference in the diaphragm compared to other planar magnetic headphones. With its lightweight design being so ultra-light, the HIFIMAN SUSVARA is able to properly reproduce the minutest of details when listening to music, and the deliverence is incredibly immersive and lifelike. HIFIMAN SUSVARA results in transparent and dynamic audio that places it right at the top of the audiophile chart.
Exceptional Build and Comfort
Not only does the HIFIMAN SUSVARA sound incredible, but it’s also made in a way that’s durable and comfortable with top quality materials. The headphone’s frame is made up of lightweight aluminum, so it is a bit heavy, but still, ensures it remains sturdy.

Weight and comfort in long listening sessions are a major concern of high end headphones. Thankfully, the HIFIMAN SUSVARA excels in this, providing a well balancedy designed headset that fits nicely onto the head with no added discomfort. No matter how much you listen to music, it is a pleasure to listen whether you only add a few minutes or hours.
Amplification and Power requirements
The HIFIMAN is one aspect to consider, its pretty power hungry. Being high sensitivity helps many other models and the headphone’s planar magnetic drivers makes it have relatively low sensitivity to hear. In other words, you need the power of an amplifier to get the most out of it. The HIFIMAN has no iron grip on the bass or the clarity and depth they can provide; you need a high quality amplifier to get the most out of them.
Top quality headphone amplifier will make the most out of the HIFIMAN but don’t expect miracles with a cheap one. Serious audiophiles who are focused on their headphone music if they go the dedicated amplifier route, HIFIMAN SUSVARA is no exception. Once you set up the SUSVARA right, it can deliver a level of listening experience that is beyond what you will get from the best speaker systems out there.
