About this deal

Just keep in mind they are colored, these have a boosted but tasteful bass. They are not the most resolving headphones and have a mid-fi sound quality but they are fun. Hard to believe this kind of quality is available for such a low price-(in terms of audiophile dollars). When I compared it to the Drop x Sennheiser HD58X Jubilee, another headphone I like at the SV021’s price point, the HD58X did better with Microdynamics, meaning you could actually hear "into" the music better, but I liked the Macrodynamics on the Sivga headphone a little more. With a song like “Waves” by Bahamas, the male vocals jump to the forefront and the very low-end thumps with respectable authority. Bass

SIVGA still stands for “Wood. Metal. Precision”. As you will find out the further you read into this review, I will often make comparisons between the SV004 and the Phoenix. UNBOXING AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS:​Upon opening the box, I am presented with a carrying pouch, a quarter-inch adapter, a dual-sided 2.5mm SE cable (1.5m long), and last but not least, the headphone itself. Overall: The D1100 is the better tuned and a lot cheaper headphone. Where the SV021 is only more technical thanks to its massive treble peaks.

Hiroyuki Sawano – Pretenders (01:18-01:47), a lot more natural tonality/timbre and isn’t veiled on the Phoenix. On desktop- N6ii LO and A30s (Burson V5i D) and XDUOO MT602 Sylvania tubes (not such a beautiful pairing but then low gain on N6ii and also volume at 08 but I would stay since it becomes a beautiful entity but this requires a better silver cable !!! ) has been used. Hiroyuki Sawano – Pretenders (01:18-01:47), bass is more elevated and yet cleaner due to the tightness and speed as well as more textured. Tonality is a lot better on the 1AM2, cleaner and less fatiguing at the same time while timbre is also a lot more natural on it. If you ask me, this is a result of lazy engineering and design. When it comes to designing a headphone for the masses (the consumer market), your aim as a designer is for the product to satisfy the greatest number of people. At first, if you don’t think about it at all, having ear-cups fixed at a 90˚ angle sounds like it wouldn’t cause any problems, but when you look at the human face anatomy, you realize that that doesn’t really work. We listened to more songs than those named in this playlist, but those are excellent for identifying a sonic signature. PRaT, Texturization, Detail, Resolution, Dynamics, Impact, and overall tonality are all revealed by those songs. We recommend trying most of the songs from this playlist, especially if you’re searching for new music!

Fortunately, the Oriole weigh in at a mere 280g, as the faux-leather padding on the band and ear cups is fairly minimal and would not be sufficient for heavier cans. The headband is less comfortable than the comfort strap design included with the SV023 or Sivga offerings. The FiiO EH3 NC shows in general a warmer tonality and slightly fuller presentation with lower sense of clarity and definition, while the SIVGA SV021 sounds a tad more neutral, transparent and airy with better sense of headroom. People like me and Zeos receive free review samples, once again, making it very easy to overlook the true value of something. Per SIVGA’s Phoenix standards, SV021 also features dual mono 2.5mm connectors. They are located on the underside of the ear-cups, just like in just about every other pair of headphones. I really can’t find a way to explain to myself, nevermind to all of you, why I like these headphones. Sometimes we just like what we like and we should stop spending time to justify it.Hiroyuki Sawano – Pretenders (01:18-01:47), cleaner on the KPH30i due to it having a tighter/faster and a bit lower bass quantity. Texture is similar while the tonality is more accurate on the KPH30i. iFi Zen DAC + iFi Zen CAN (iSilencer Plus + iPurifier3 + iPower + iPowerX + USB 3.0 cable + 4.4mm balanced interconnect cable)

Sivga sv021 Review • Audiostance

Stage, etc: The Sivga robin has a nice wide soundstage. there is very good separation and accuracy, this makes it great for movies or games. Visually, these are eye candy. After all, these were my first impressions before I even had them in hand. Something I’d like to clear up straight away is that the design differs between the two available colors. The materials are exactly the same, the silhouette is exactly the same, but the finish of the wood differs (besides the obvious pleather color difference).To be honest, I’m highly disappointed with this release. Almost to the point where I’m hurt. Having such a great past experience with both SIVGA and its products, this feels like a major let down. As this headphone has something of a V-Shaped sound signature, the mids were more recessed than I usually like. As I said earlier, there is also a tad bit of edginess in the upper mids, but this flaw only became overly distracting when there was hardness coming from a budget DAC/Amp in the chain. Imaging within the width plane is pretty decent. I can easily pinpoint instruments from left to right.
