Planar magnetic headphones are renowned for their low distortion, exceptional transient response, and wide soundstage. At the heart of this technology lies the magnetic array, which interacts with a voice coil traced onto an ultra-thin diaphragm. While Neodymium magnets have traditionally dominated this space due to their high magnetic strength, Samarium-Cobalt (SmCo) magnets are increasingly being explored by high-end audio engineers. In this article, we delve into the measurements of Samarium-Cobalt flux density in planar magnetics and what it means for the future of headphone design.
