HiFiMAN’s NEO Supernano Diaphragm, Stealth Magnets and a curved resonance chamber combine with lacquered hardwood cups, and three cables are included for everything from a phone to a studio amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/hifiman-audivina-closed-back-headphones-photo-hero.jpg?v=1791362412\" alt=\"HiFiMAN Audivina closed-back planar studio headphones\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA concert hall in a closed cup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe curved resonance chamber, the finishing touch of the acoustic design, was inspired by the respected acoustic architecture of the Bayreuth Festival Theatre in Germany, whose multi-stage attenuation lets listeners hear a wide, detailed soundstage.

HiFiMAN says the Audivina’s full-range output, free of resonance and an introverted sound, makes it an ideal stand-in for large speakers when mixing and mastering. Its example is a chamber string quartet, one of the hardest things to mix, with the big volume difference between violins and cello and the erratic nature of the viola: the Audivina’s broad response and dynamics help the engineer judge EQ and the overall presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/hifiman-audivina-closed-back-headphones-photo-studio.jpg?v=1791362430\" alt=\"HiFiMAN Audivina for mixing and mastering\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardwood, metal and leatherette\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cups are made of hardwood, exquisitely lacquered and smooth as jade to the touch, with the wood’s natural pores visible through the varnish.
