HIFIMAN - ISVARNA - Hybrid Stealth Magnetic Closed-Back Headphones

The HIFIMAN Isvarna represents a bold leap in headphone engineering, combining planar magnetic and dynamic drivers in a semi‑closed design to deliver rich bass, detailed mids, and airy highs within an expansive, immersive soundstage. It offers audiophile-grade performance for desktop enthusiasts and discerning listeners alike.

Powerful Hybrid Sound

By pairing a high-resolution planar driver with a dynamic subwoofer driver, the Isvarna achieves both texture and impact. Listeners describe its bass as "warm and full‑bodied" with engaging punch without muddiness, while mids and treble remain precise and expressive.

Spacious, Engaging Staging

Despite its closed‑back build, the Isvarna delivers an impressively open soundstage, with crisp imaging and nuanced layering.

Premium Build & Comfort

The headphone uses cast aluminum cups and a sturdy headband inspired by the HE1000 series. The earcups surround the ear comfortably, and multiple cable options (3.5 mm, 6.3 mm, XLR) ensure compatibility with a range of systems.

Tuned for Emotion & Detail

The Isvarna’s tuning is slightly warm and musical—often described as “W-shaped”—with elevated lows, smooth mids, and controlled treble. It delivers part clarity, part warmth, excelling with bass-heavy genres, live recordings, and vocals that retain a strong presence.
