Hybrid closed‑back headphones with planar clarity 

The HiFiMAN ISVARNA is a premium hybrid headphone crafted for powerful low‑end impact, nuanced mids, and airy highs—all in a closed‑back design that keeps the outside world at arm's length. Combining a nanometer‑thin planar magnetic driver with a dedicated dynamic sub‑bass driver, it delivers a balanced, immersive sound signature with excellent isolation. Rugged yet comfortable, with aluminum cups, plush pads, and three premium cables included, ISVARNA is built for long, focused listening at home or in the studio.

Detailed Performance with Musical Warmth


ISVARNA spans a wide frequency range (6 Hz–60 kHz), hitting lows with authority and mids with richness thanks to the dynamic-planar crossover. Treble is clear and engaging, though pairing with a smoother amplifier may help avoid brightness at high volumes. 



Balanced Ergonomics and Build Quality


Crafted with precision-milled aluminum cups and a lightweight steel headband topped with padded suede, the headphones distribute their 462 g weight comfortably. Plush ear cushions and a secure fit support long sessions without pressure points.
