Audio46's Opinion
The Susvara Unveiled is a significant upgrade from the original Susvara. With its improved design, expansive soundstage, deep and warm bass, balanced mids, and fully extended highs, it offers an unparalleled listening experience. Mix this with the fact that the Unveiled sounds leaps and bounds more natural than the original. It's clear that HifiMan has spared no expense in creating a headphone that prioritizes sound reproduction and accurate soundstage over durability. If you're an exacting audiophile or audio professional, these might be the perfect headphones for you.

Stealth Magnet Technology
The SUSVARA UNVEILED integrates HIFIMAN’s Stealth Magnet technology, which utilizes an asymmetrical, double-sided magnetic circuit. This design optimizes the magnet’s gap and cross-sectional shape, both inside and outside the diaphragm, ensuring maximum sound transmission and precise diaphragm control. This approach minimizes distortion, delivering a naturally warmer sound with enhanced imaging and transparency.
Magnetic Veil
The open design of the headphone inspired HIFIMAN to develop a removable back panel known as the Magnetic Veil. This innovation was achieved using CNC technology, which employs computer software to precisely control machines that cut, carve, and engrave materials. The Magnetic Veil fits over the ear cups, protecting the headphones from potential damage caused by the absorption of magnetic objects when not in use.
Window Shade Design
The SUSVARA UNVEILED's window shade design maximizes the grill exposure and reduces sound wave reflection and refraction. This design, along with the fully open-back structure, minimizes any negative effects on the diaphragm, leading to a cleaner, more natural sound.
Metallic Silver Conductor Layer
To enhance sensitivity, the SUSVARA UNVEILED uses a metallic silver conductor layer. Silver, with its high conductivity, maximizes sensitivity, reveals subtle details in the music, and improves the sense of air that high-end audio demands.
Comfortable Asymmetrical Ear Pads
The ear pads of the SUSVARA UNVEILED are asymmetrically designed to conform to the shape of the human ear. They distribute the weight evenly for a secure fit, ensuring comfort during long listening sessions. The pads are gently beveled to provide a snug yet comfortable grip around the head.
High-Quality Cables
The SUSVARA UNVEILED comes equipped with single crystalline copper and silver cables, designed to reduce contact resistance and maintain audio signal integrity. The cables are supplied with 6.35mm and 4-pin XLR plugs, providing flexibility when connecting to headphone amplifiers or professional audio equipment.
Recommended Amplifier Pairing
For maximum performance, the SUSVARA UNVEILED requires a high-power amplifier, such as HIFIMAN's EF1000DAC/Amp and HIFIMAN x Goldenwave's GA-10. When paired with a powerful amp, the SUSVARA UNVEILED delivers unmatched sonic output, setting a new standard in personal audio.
