HiFiMan Audivina Closed-Back Over-Ear Planar Magnetic Studio Headphones

AUDIVINA offers the wide soundstage of an acoustically perfect concert hall, yet with the detail and intimacy of a jazz club, thanks to the NEO Supernano Diaphragm, Stealth Magnet Design, and a curved resonance chamber that is the finishing touch of the advanced acoustical design.The resonance chamber design was inspired by the highly respected acoustic architecture of the Bayreuth Festival Theater in Germany, whose multi-stage attenuation contributes to the listener's experience of hearing a wide, detailed soundstage in a small, enclosed space. Sound takes a circuitous route through the chamber, creating a wide soundstage beyond what is typically associated with similarly priced products.Acoustically Invisible Stealth MagnetUnlike the sound waves created by a conventional magnet, the unique shape of Stealth Magnets enables the waves to pass through the magnets without generating interference.HIFIMAN's advanced magnet design is acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing wave diffraction turbulence that degrades the integrity of the sound waves. The reduced distortion yields pure sonic output that is accurate and full-rangeNEO "supernano" Diaphragm (NSD) - "Hear what you have been missing"The all new NSD is 80% thinner than previous designs resulting in a faster more detailed response while retaining lush musicality never before possible.
