ISVARNA HYBRID HEADPHONE W/ ENHANCED BASS AND ULTRA-WIDE SOUNDSTAGE
ISVARNA’s Semi-enclosed Design with Miniature Dynamic Subwoofer Driver Boosts Low Frequency Response with No Distortion.
BELLMORE, NY, December 3, 2024 – HIFIMAN, the leader in high fidelity personal audio, will soon ship the audio industry’s first hybrid headphone, ISVARNA.
ISVARNA (SRP: $2,899) includes a miniature dynamic subwoofer driver that boosts the low frequency response of a planar headphone, while maintaining clear and detailed mid- and upper-range output thanks to a crossover point that is set to 200-300Hz.
As the industry’s first hybrid headphone, ISVARNA offers a seamless integration of planar and dynamic drivers. Through its custom-designed crossover circuit, ISVARNA precisely couples the respective frequency response of the two distinct drivers.
“Many music lovers prefer deep bass when listening to music, without compromising on soundstage and overall depth of the sonic output,” says Dr. Fang Bian, President and CEO, HIFIMAN Electronics. “Some manufacturers try EQ tuning, but it often leads to increased, audible distortion and overall deterioration of the sound quality.
“We avoid challenges surrounding phase differential through the angle difference combined with a special installation method for the primary driver and a dynamic subwoofer. These independently developed dyanamic drivers manage low frequencies while planar drivers are responsible for the mid- and high frequencies.”
ISVARNA features HIFIMAN's patented stealth magnet technology. The streamlined cross-sectional shape of the Stealth Magnets optimizes and reduces the air turbulence and diffraction between the magnets, allowing the sound to pass between them almost unaffected, without disruption to the sound quality that is often experienced with traditional magnets.
In addition, ISVARNA incorporates HIFIMAN's core technology - Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm, which is under a millionth of a meter thick and extremely light, giving the headphone extremely fast response with outstanding dynamic range and frequency characteristics, as well as low distortion, high transient response, and comprehensive improvement of dynamics and details.
Combined with the Stealth Magnets technology, the nanometer thickness diaphragm material is essential to the sonic output being clear and non-fatiguing, even after hours of listening.
The ISVARNA headband features an advanced ergonomic design, crafted from selected metal materials and precisely cut using high-precision CNC technology, and hand-polished for unmatched comfort with exceptional durability.
ISVARNA will be available this month at a suggested retail price of $2,899 from authorized HIFIMAN dealers and the company’s online store, http://store.hifiman.com/. For additional information, visit https://hifiman.com.
