Sivga Audio is a relatively new brand out of China that aims to bring good-looking, well-built headphones to a more affordable market segment. Today, we examine the Sivga Robin (SV021) which comes in two wooden ear cup finishes and uses a well-tuned 50 mm dynamic driver for mainstream appeal at a nice price.

good review. $149 is a really tough price bracket to compete in, with the HD58X being the king still I am guessing?

I don't want to rely on my memory of the HD 58X from a while ago but that's an open-back set vs. this closed-back one. The AKG K371 and Shure SRH840 get recommended far more as direct competition.

Yeah exactly, imagine using it on public transportation for example.

I'd like to see you review more bluetooth earbuds, I hate to say it, but its the future whether anyone likes it or not. It's just so much more convenient, and even my little $30 Skullcandy bluetooth buds don't sound half bad.

I have a few of those lined up already, as well as some Bluetooth headphones.
