Know before you buy
The AUDIVINA utilizes a specialized resonance chamber inspired by the Bayreuth Festival Theater. This design, combined with the Stealth Magnet technology, minimizes wave diffraction and distortion, allowing the headphones to provide a spacious, concert-hall-like sound while maintaining the isolation of a closed-back design.
With an impedance of 20Ω and a sensitivity of 97dB, they are relatively easy to drive. However, because they are designed for professional studio use and weigh 470g, they are best paired with a high-quality dedicated amplifier to fully realize their sonic potential.
The AUDIVINA features an ergonomic headband designed to distribute weight evenly, paired with eco-friendly, silky leatherette earpads. While the hardwood construction adds some weight, these features are specifically chosen to minimize fatigue during extended professional use.
The headphones come with multiple cable options to accommodate various professional setups, including 3.5mm single-ended, 6.35mm single-ended, and XLR balanced connections.
No, the AUDIVINA is designed strictly for high-fidelity audio monitoring and critical listening. It does not include a microphone or any integrated smart features.
The ultra-thin diaphragm is designed for an incredibly fast transient response. This allows the headphones to capture minute details and subtle textures in your music that slower, traditional drivers might miss.
