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.
