CanJam 2023 NYC runs this weekend and we will be covering the show looking for the latest in headphones, IEMs, DAPs, and personal audio accessories. HiFiMAN isn’t waiting until Saturday morning to pull back the curtain on their latest products including the new AUDIVINA (SRP: $1,999) Closed-back Planar Headphones that utilize HiFiMAN’s Stealth Magnets to enable sound waves to pass through the magnets without generating interference.
The advanced magnet design is acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing reflections that degrade the integrity of the sound waves, yielding only pure sonic output that is accurate.
“When we first developed Stealth Magnets, I knew the design holds tremendous value for the pro audio market,” said Dr. Fang Bian, President, and CEO, HiFiMAN Electronics. “The complete lack of interference guarantees accurate reproduction, so crucial when recording and mixing music. Of course, audiophiles will appreciate listening to music on AUDIVINA for exactly the same reason.”
AUDIVINA features a resonance chamber inspired by the acoustical architecture of the Beyreuth Festival Theater in Germany, famous for multi-stage attenuation that contributes to the listener 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.
AUDIVINA’s ergonomic headband is constructed of high-precision CNC (computer numerical control) metal that is hand-polished for the ideal combination of comfort and durability.
The cable socket is designed to ensure contact resistance remains low with no audible effect on the signal path. Earpads are manufactured from eco-friendly, silky leatherette material. Sonics and comfort are maximized for longer listening sessions.
Included with AUDIVINA are a single-end 3.5mm cable (1.5m), XLR balanced cable (3m), and a single-end 6.35mm cable (3m).
AUDIVINA features a frequency response of 5Hz-55kHz. Impedance is 20 ohms, sensitivity is rated at 97dB, and the weight is 470 grams/16.57 ounces.
Price & Availability
HiFiMAN AUDIVINA will be available in March 2023 at a suggested retail price of $1,999. It will be available from authorized HiFiMAN dealers and the company’s online store.
