Packaging and Accessories

The Sivga Oriole is aimed at a more value-oriented market compared to most headphones we have covered here so do not expect a premium unboxing experience. The product box is made of thick cardboard with a plastic seal all around it and is predominantly black in color. On the front is the Sivga logo and the product name along with a large, simplistic render of the headphones to allow the use of the same packaging for both headphone finishes. More of this clean and minimalist packaging continues on the back, with the monochrome design allowing for product specifications, contact information, certification labels, and a marketing tagline.


Sivga is using a two-piece packaging with the lid lifting off the box from the sides, and we now get a closer look at the internals. There is a foam sheet on top of the contents along with another thick foam piece on the inside, with machined cutouts to snugly fit and protect the various items. This includes the headphones themselves that come flat-packed and already a departure from the Robin before. The gap where your head would be is occupied by another cutout that has the various accessories included with the product. No manual or warranty card are found here as Sivga is going fairly barebones to cut down on extraneous costs.


The headphones do not come inside a carry/storage case of any sort so stowing these away isn't as conveniently done as with other such headphones we have seen recently. There is instead a soft hemp pouch in white with the Sivga logo in black on the front and drawstrings close it with the headphones and cable inside. It is stitched neatly and does keep the headphones clean for when you want to place it inside for storage or transportation. It does not add any protection as with a hard case, so you may want to consider aftermarket hard cases with pluckable foam, such as the Lykus 3310 that fits the entire box insert nicely, with some room on the side for cables. There are third-party alternatives from the likes of Dekoni, including its own hard case in collaboration with SKB we saw before. The typical end user will likely just place the headphones on a headphone stand, readily available to listen to when needed. The cable comes separately packed in a plastic zip-lock bag which also contains a 1/4" adapter, so that is where we will start on the next page.
