Sivga SV023 Headphones Boast Beryllium and LCP Drivers
Sivga's SV023 open-backed headphones sport walnut earcups and 50mm custom drivers but cost less than you might think.
Sivga has been winning fans through its mix of sound per pound, and the SV023 open-backed headphones are continuing the trend. The Chinese-based firm has been producing its range of acclaimed hi-fi headphones with a real-wood finish since 2016, most recently with the closed-back Oriole and Robin.
The SV023 features 50mm custom drivers comprised of a Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) composite cone with a Beryllium-plated centre. These are wrapped in natural walnut wood housings with soft memory foam earcups, perforated with air holes. Additionally, you get a genuine leather and stainless steel headband that promises a comfortable experience from the 318g headphopnes.
The spec sheet tells us that the Sivga SV023 deliver a frequency response of 20Hz - 40kHz, 105dB sensitivity, and an impedance rating of 300Ω.
The headphones come bundled with a 2 metre 4.4mm balanced cable. This 6N OCC cable features four strands of braid, each composed of 30 0.08mm cores and 250D break-proof wire, says Sivga.
You also get a 4.4mm balanced to 3.5mm single-ended adaptor and a 3.5mm to 6.35mm adaptor, allowing the Sivga SV023 to be used with various devices.
The Sivga SV023 are available now, priced at £449.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
