Introduction

Sivga Audio debuted on TechPowerUp with the Robin (SV021), a pair of closed-back headphones with decent value for money if you're in the market for a V-shaped tuning. We then covered two open-back sets from the brand in the form of the Sivga Phoenix that uses the same driver as in the Robin, and the more-expensive SV023, both of which offer a warmer tuning without compromising on detail. The newer Oriole was effectively an upgrade to the Robin and used a new driver, which in itself is not surprising since Sivga is one of very few headphone brands that makes its own drivers in addition to working with craftsmen for wooden ear cups that look quite the part. Given that the Oriole was effectively a new series of headphones from Sivga in the order I was reviewing them, I suppose I should not have been surprised when the company reached out to me about a new product that was seemingly taking over where the impressive Phoenix stopped.


Today we are examining the all-new Sivga Luan. It is an open-back set of over-ear headphones that the company is marketing with a brand new 50 mm dynamic driver that I have not seen used before. In addition, Sivga is prioritizing comfort more than before with oversized ear pads combined with its premium headband that worked very well with the likes of the Phoenix and SV023 before. I was also happy to see them finally move away from 2.5 mm cable connectors to the more common 3.5 mm size, thus increasing cable compatibility significantly. The Luan comes in two color options as with most Sivga products and the thumbnail of this review is for the black version that arguably looks cleaner. But I wanted to see how the flashier brown color version looks like and so here we are. Thanks to Sivga for providing a review sample to TechPowerUp as we begin our coverage with a look at the product specifications in the table below.
