{"product_id":"hifiman-isvarna-hybrid-planar-magnetic-headphones","title":"HiFiMAN ISVARNA Hybrid Planar Magnetic Headphones","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe HiFiMAN ISVARNA is a high-end hybrid headphone for listeners who want the speed, clarity and detail of a planar magnetic driver with deeper, more speaker-like bass. It pairs a full-range planar driver with a dedicated dynamic low-frequency driver, a headphone “subwoofer”, so the bass is strong and extended without losing the openness HiFiMAN planars are known for. At 16Ω and 93dB it works with a wide range of amplifiers and sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/hifiman-isvarna-hybrid-planar-magnetic-headphones-photo-hero.jpg?v=1791371132\" alt=\"HiFiMAN ISVARNA hybrid headphones\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMore low-frequency response\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHiFiMAN compares the ISVARNA’s response with its flagship Susvara: the extra driver lifts the low frequencies for audiophile-grade sound with real bass impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/hifiman-isvarna-hybrid-planar-magnetic-headphones-photo-lowfreq.jpg?v=1791371137\" alt=\"HiFiMAN ISVARNA low-frequency response compared with the Susvara\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLearning from speakers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeakers split the work between a woofer and a tweeter with a crossover.
