The Oriole dip around 300 Hz and steadily climb until they hit a 2.5 kHz peak. The lower midrange is somewhat recessed, and the upper midrange jumps out. Unfortunately, this signature is a bit fatiguing at louder volumes, so the Oriole sound best at moderate volume. Even though it is quite a bit away from reference-neutral, it performs quite well as a fun and musical headphone. It has a nice musical quality to it where it not only has good bass punch but even the livelier treble, which isn't the most linear, sounds vividly musical and exciting in most songs.On desktop- N6ii LO and A30s (Burson V5i D) and XDUOO MT602 Sylvania tubes (not such a beautiful pairing but then low gain on N6ii and also volume at 08 but I would stay since it becomes a beautiful entity but this requires a better silver cable !!! ) has been used. Not to mention, midrange resolution also isn't the best. The hollowness in the midrange also means that resolution suffers. If you are a midrange kind of guy, this probably isn't for you. As far as design goes, the SV021 hits a sweet spot. The headphones look professional and classy but they have a homely simple feel to them. The frame of the headphones is based around a spring steel headband that’s covered by soft protein leather padding. The pleather feels lush and soft but only time will tell how it holds up over time (pleather has a tendency to disintegrate over time). The midrange of the FiiO EH3 NC has a warmer tonality with a smoothed out character. The SIVGA SV021 is slightly more neutral, bright and energetic in direct comparison. The lower midrange of the EH3 NC shows a bit more body and depth when I do listen to male vocals or to instruments such like acoustic guitars or violas. When it comes to the upper midrange, I can say that the SV021 is more highlighted and detailed in this area, which adds it a slightly better sense of transparency and airiness. The SV021 is also more suitable for female vocals or instruments such like violins, flutes or pianos that do need more energy in the upper midrange area.

Bass: Djuro – Drop that bass (01:15-01:30), extends lower and rumbles a lot more on the D1100. Punch quantity, speed and texture are similar but tighter on the SV021. Tonality is more accurate as well as more natural timbre on the D1100. I don’t see any other headphones I have or will review for the rest of the 2021 year even coming close to the comfort factor of this Robin SV021. Those earpads are just marshmallow soft memory foam pads with extremely soft leather. SIVGA Electronic Technology Co., Ltd, is a Chinese brand located in Dongguan city of China, focuses on designing and producing high-end audio products include wooden earphones, In-Ear Monitors with multiple drivers and planar magnet headphones. All products of the company are designed and produced internally. Note - As I stated before, Robin's sound signature's perception depends on tightness of clamp force based on head size since its lowest headband setting isn't as tight as required for a snug fit in case of smaller head sizes. As a result, if you don't have a snug fit, you'll perceive a bit more treble and less of sub-bass rumble.There are a few occasions when there is a little too much “bite” depending on the frequencies, which can find me reaching to turn down the volume on ocasiones but to be totally honest, these headphones have tended to make me raise the volume a little more than usual. At my normal listening levels, the odd peak does not seem to appear except on very specific songs.

Pandopan I disagree. My findings, experience, and thoughts have been expressed in the review. The flaws were that extreme to me. Collin at Sivga introduced the Robin SV021 to me as “neutral and balanced”. It is crystal clear that they are not and, in fact, they are far from being neutral, with a heavily V-shaped signature that sees an overpowering bass section counterbalanced by an aggressive treble area. This is all produced by a 50 mm dynamic driver made of polycarbonate and fibre. All products sold on Headphone Zone carry a GST compliant invoice and all products sold include an 18% GST. We listened to more songs than those named in this playlist, but those are excellent for identifying a sonic signature. PRaT, Texturization, Detail, Resolution, Dynamics, Impact, and overall tonality are all revealed by those songs. We recommend trying most of the songs from this playlist, especially if you’re searching for new music!Metallica – fight fire with fire (01:11-01:52), cleaner due to the lower quantity, faster and tighter bass on the SV021 but quite sharp treble on it. Coherency isn't the best as I find the top end to be faster and snappier than the slower bloomy low end. This is very apparent with the 20% of music that it doesn't work well with as the dip in the midrange just further emphasizes the incoherency. The unboxing experience is as basic as it can be and truthfully that is what I want to see on sets in this price tier. I do not want a fancy box. I do not want a case, with a headphone made of good materials like this? I don’t need a case and likely will be in the group of others who use this headphone and abuse the hell out of it daily. Toss it in a bag and you are good to go. iFi Zen DAC + iFi Zen CAN (iSilencer Plus + iPurifier3 + iPower + iPowerX + USB 3.0 cable + 4.4mm balanced interconnect cable)

That said, they do scale up well with a quality DAC/Amp combo like the Audioquest Dragonfly Cobalt.

Treble: Linkin Park – Shadow of the Day (03:24-03:42), a lot sharper on the SV021 while timbre and tonality are a lot better on the 1AM2.
