"It has been refreshing to be reminded of what a glorious experience headphone listening can be if one has the right equipment. And make no mistake, the Sivga SV023 is definitely the right equipment if you are looking for what I suppose we must call a traditional pair of headphones. The sound quality is exceptional with what seems to be a remarkably flat response curve across the full frequency spectrum. Bass is rich but not overblown, the midband, where most of the heavy lifting is done, is open, detailed and very musical, while the high frequencies are delivered with a deft touch that never veers towards the harsh or fatiguing. These were a pleasure to live with and come with a strong recommendation from me." The Ear
About The Sivga SV023 Headphones
The Sivga SV023 is a high performance over ear wired set of headphones that feature premium walnut & stainless steel construction, along with comfortable goat skin leather and the option of balanced drive from a suitable headphone amplifier. This is a serious pair of headphones at a very reasonable price.
Classic Design
Headband Design: Sivga's design team independently researched the leather band to be soft and comfortable, using high-end goat skin and a stretchable stainless steel to ensure suitable clamping force with no pressure on the head.
Hand Made Wood Housing: Sivga created the headphone housing with a quality walnut wood. Carved by CNC and then made by traditional processes such as grinding, polishing, painting and natural drying. The quality is undeniable in the finished product, which has a high quality finish in its smooth feel and texture.
Earpad Design: The unique earpad design has been done so with comfort in mind. Made of a high protein material and memory foam. The material touching the face and skin friendly and has a velvet feel. Designed to avoid sound leakage, the earpad shape has been researched to suit most head shapes. We say most, because, you just never know really. These headphones are designed for long wear.
High Performance
50mm Dynamic Drivers: The Sivga SV023 headphones feature large 50mm dynamic drivers. These drivers are made of LCP composite diaphragm plated with Beryllium for strong dynamic, high fidelity and wide extension sound quality. The magnet is high-performance NdFeb material. These headphones can make music dynamic with a sense of depth.
Cable Design: Sivga includes a 6N OCC copper cable as standard with the SV023. The cable itself is braided without any outer sheath, which is a good choice since the cables remain soft, and avoid being microphonic even when you move around. It's generous of Sivga to include a balanced cable as standard.
Packaging & Accessories: The carrying case that comes with the SV023 is a leather semi-hard shell that perfectly conforms to the headphones and is similar to the one used with the Aiva. This ensures that the headphones won't move around too much when they're transported. Also, the carrying case has enough space inside to bring along the cables.
Aside from the carrying case, the SV023 arrives with a pair of earpad protectors that are fitted over the earpads. The other accessories include a stock cable terminated in a balanced 4.4mm pentaconn connection, a 4.4mm pentaconn to 3.5mm TRS converter, and a hemp pouch that keeps the cables organized inside the carrying case.
