In 2023, Hifiman launched its own wireless earphone product: Hifiman Svanar Wireless Swan True Wireless Bluetooth Earphones, which are deeply loved by users as soon as they are listed. After all, compared with traditional wireless headphone products, Hifiman Svanar Wireless has a built-in self-developed Himalayan DAC chip, high-power headphone amplifier, and topological diaphragm, which can be said to be not the same track as traditional wireless headphones in terms of sound quality.
And more recently, Hifiman has launched the Hifiman Svanar Wireless Le.
We can also see from the official details page that Svanar Wireless LE retains the Himalayan R2R DAC chip, topological diaphragm technology, and removes LDAC HD Bluetooth for Svanar Wireless, as well as wireless charging functions. In fact, after the Svanar Wireless LE version, Hifiman also launched the Swan Youth Edition: Svanar Wireless JR, here I will give you a **, so that you can more intuitively understand the difference between these three products.
In terms of appearance, the Svanar Wireless LE has hardly changed from the previous version, except that there are some differences in the color and material of the earphones, and the color of the charging case has also changed. Moreover, the design of the earphones has also been tested by the market for nearly a year, and there is no problem at all in the comfort of wearing, which is completely ergonomic. And in order to meet the needs of different people's ears, accessories also come with a variety of earplugs of different sizes for everyone to choose from.
After talking about the appearance, we want to focus on what designs this Svanar Wireless LE has made for sound quality. First of all, it must be the built-in Himalaya R2R DAC chip, as well as the headphone amplification module, Svanar Wireless LE has the blessing of its two technologies, and the sound quality is also completely different from the traditional wireless earphones.
We all know that traditional wireless headphones are completely disregarding the thrust of the headphones in order to be portable, which also makes us always feel that there is no power when listening to songs. The built-in Himalayan R2R DAC chip and headphone amplification module of Svanar Wireless LE can make it thrust more and completely solve the problem of wireless headphones without thrust in the world.
When the thrust is solved, the tuning is easy to do, after all, Hifiman, as a professional audio manufacturer, is still in hand. The Svanar Wireless LE uses Hifiman's unique recipe here: topological diaphragms. The topological diaphragm is Hifiman's black technology, which is coated with nanoparticles on the surface of the diaphragm, and the formula, thickness and geometry of the coating are adjusted according to different timbre requirements to achieve the purpose of adjusting the listening sense. The previous topological diaphragm was placed on its flagship product, and this time Hifiman was placed on the Svanar Wireless Swan true wireless earbuds, which shows the degree of care for this product. Officially, the sound quality of this headset can reach HIFMAN Swan + EF400 (150,000 devices)**HD**90% of the hearing.
Having said that, here's the actual audition feeling. However, before the audition, I think it is necessary to popularize the LDAC HD Bluetooth decoding technology of Svanar Wireless LE castration.
LDAC is a wireless audio coding technology developed by Sony, which can increase the Bluetooth transmission rate when we listen, thereby greatly reducing the sound quality loss caused by Bluetooth transmission, so that we can hear higher quality**. But to use this LDAC, your ** device (mobile phone, ** device) and headphones must have this function, and your audio source must also be lossless. However, I guess that when most friends use wireless headphones to listen to songs, the ** device is their own mobile phone. And at present, the iPhone mobile phone with more users does not support LDAC decoding. If you are using Xiaomi, Huawei, OPPO, vivo and other brand mobile phones, you can check it yourself.
The **device I use here is my iPhone 15 Pro, and in terms of audio source, I choose Apple's own **APP, because here it can choose lossless sound holding. The first song I auditioned here is Jacky Cheung's "Stealing the Heart", which is a classic old song, and after watching the TV series Fanhua, it was looped by me infinitely again. Jacky Cheung's deep voice is full of a sense of story, Svanar Wireless Le can perfectly present the low and medium frequencies of the male voice, natural and powerful, when the chorus "Who Secretly Stole My Heart" sounds, the atmosphere of the headphones is very strong, and the sense of hierarchy is clear, so that I can listen to my own emotions very well.
The second song I chose here is Joey Yung's "Little", I personally like female voices very much, this "Little" is a more lyrical song, if your own experience and lyrics overlap, then you will be easy to integrate into the song. Listening to this song with Svanar Wireless LE, the female voice comes out of the headphones without hurry, as soft as gurgling water, and when you listen to it, the sound is layered and the sound is very full, and the female voice is like ringing in the ear, which is very clear.
The last song is a folk song, Chen Li's "Wonderful Ability Song", Chen Li is a female folk singer, but her singing voice in this song is very unique, there is a slight "smoke voice" taste, and often this voice can give us a sense of intimacy. The melody of the whole song is clear and peaceful, and the lyrics are also relatively beautiful. When listening to this song with Svanar Wireless Le, thanks to the good thrust of the headphones, the whole song sounds very powerful, although the song is soothing, but the power of the sound can be perfectly presented, and the sound field, resolution is also great, every detail in the song will not be missed.
And in order to allow us to better immerse ourselves in the ** in the dang, Svanar Wireless LE also has ANC active noise cancellation, as well as ENC call noise reduction function. And the effect of ANC active noise reduction can reach -35db, so that we can better immerse ourselves in our own world.
In addition to listening to songs, I also wore it to play games and watch a few movies, thanks to its Bluetooth 52 technology, it has a very low latency, whether it is a game or a movie, you can get the ultimate experience.
In terms of battery life, the official said that it can reach 7 hours of listening to songs when fully charged, and it can achieve 28 hours of ultra-long battery life with the charging case, which can definitely meet most of our usage scenarios, and the universal Type-C charging interface can also make it easy for us to charge when we go out.
Experience summary
Having said so much, I also want to say goodbye, and I will give you a simple summary of the experience below. Hifiman can be said to have completed the layout of the entire price range of its own wireless swan earphones, Svanar Wireless, Svanar Wireless LE, Svanar Wireless JR three versions, you can choose according to your own needs. And I personally think that the Svanar Wireless LE is the most worthwhile purchase of the three versions.
1. Although LDAC HD Bluetooth decoding can allow us to hear higher quality, it can only be used when our **equipment, headphones, and sound sources meet the conditions, and most of my friends' ** device is a mobile phone, if you don't support LDAC, then even if you buy a complete body, it is a waste;
2. As for the wireless charging function, I personally think it is the icing on the cake, there is no and there is no problem at all, under normal circumstances, we listen to songs for 6 hours a day, and the product can be used for 27 hours with the charging case, which can allow us to use it for a few days, and when we don't use it, the fragmented time is enough to charge it.
And Hifiman Svanar Wireless LE I personally think it is a combination of sound quality, the best version made, built-in Himalaya R2R DAC chip, headphone amplification module, and topological diaphragm tuning, so that its sound quality stands out in a crowd of wireless headphones, high frequency translucent, natural middle frequency, low frequency thick, strong resolution, clear layers and many other advantages, so that we can have a strong sense of atmosphere when listening to songs.
If you're looking for sound quality, want portability, and have a limited budget, then the Hifiman Svanar Wireless LE is definitely the best choice. Interested friends can pay attention to it.
