Introduction

Sivga Audio debuted on TechPowerUp with the Robin (SV201), a pair of closed-back headphones with good value for money if in the market for a V-shaped tuning that isn’t too aggressive at the expense of detail. That set uses a 50 mm dynamic transducer with an in-house developed polycarbonate and fiber diaphragm, but the Sivga Robin was not the first to use the driver. I had mentioned in that review how Sivga had sent two headphones, and we take a look at the second of those today. It was released before the Robin and uses the same driver, but a little birdy tells me to expect a very different experience. Thanks to Sivga for providing TechPowerUp a review sample!

The Sivga Phoenix is the subject of today’s review, and as the title suggests, it is an open-back set, while the Robin is closed back. It also only comes in a single color option, but is positioned higher up in the product stack in terms of cost and the overall experience you can expect. Like the Robin, wooden cups are used, and the pads and headband appear to be an upgrade over those on the Sivga Robin. Things are boding well already thus, certainly enough to warrant a detailed examination of the Sivga Phoenix, which begins with a look at the product specifications in the table below.
