Sivga Anser headband

Look & Feel

The Anser complies with Sivga’s usual wooden design. Having used a lot of Sivga’s headphones before, their quality craftsmanship is rarely brought into question. It uses a combination of premium materials, with its solid wood earcups supported by a sturdy frame that holds everything together well. Nothing about these headphones appears flimsy, increasing their value significantly when you remember their price point. Sivga also likes to have big comfy earpads, and the Anser supplies them to give you a firm fit.

Design

The Anser uses a 50mm dynamic driver with a titanium-plated diaphragm. It uses a special dome that is made from high-molecular organic carbon fiber polymer. This configuration is designed to combat unwanted vibrations in the signal. A copper-clad aluminum coil is also used for other tuning properties, such as extending precision and clarity. These are very easy headphones to drive, with any 3.5mm or quarter-inch headphone plug. Using a small DAC/Amp is preferable but not required.

Soundstage

I usually like what Sivga has to offer in the soundstage of their headphones, and the Anser knocks it out of the park. This two-hundred-dollar dynamic driver headphone resembles a high-end planar headphone with its separation ability and spatial imaging depth. Sounds appear like they’re blooming from a specific origin instead of directly from the driver. It gives performances proper distance, making elements easier to localize in the mix. There’s also an immersive factor to it, as the soundstage expands the left and right channels with great width and height. This is one of the largest headphone headspaces I can remember for the price, supporting distinct pan movements that stick out in front of you like a live environment.

Low End

While it never supplies much depth, the bass response has an impactful tone that grows and diminishes dynamically. Its timbre is a smooth vibrating rumble that you can feel in your jawline. a superb sub-bass foundation supports this, providing a subtle enough lift that brings a flavorful bass tone to the surface. Individual bass notes are hidden underneath the thicker resonances of the frequency response, but it controls it well as not to divulge into muddiness. As long as you’re not looking for anything analytical, the Anser presents a fulfilling bass response.

Mids

A lot of the midrange appears with good clarity and detail throughout. Individual instruments propagate in the mix with fullness and depth, highlighting high-resolution sounds that appear like physical objects. It’s a lively response that sometimes goes a bit overboard. Vocals are not as clean as other sound elements that appear through the Anser’s midrange. The upper-mids get shouty, where the sound signature calls to be smoothed out. These frequencies are still easy to listen to, but they do make some vocal ranges less appetizing.

Highs

Everything starts to flatten out in the highs, which makes them easy to consume while also showcasing good clarity. Most of the frequency detail is laid back and natural, and while there isn’t a lot of sparkle to it, the timbre retains crisp qualities. These are very pointed high frequencies, reflecting transparent properties and height. There’s a satisfying click to the highs, which establishes artifacts in your music even though it doesn’t quite glisten.

Summary

The Sivga Anser headphones not only represent a solid entry in the affordable audio space but also redefine expectations for sound quality and craftsmanship at this price point. With their stylish wooden design, comfortable earpads, and remarkable soundstage, they deliver an immersive listening experience that is hard to match. While they may have minor shortcomings in the upper midrange and low-end depth, their overall performance, attention to detail, and engaging sound signature make them a compelling choice for music lovers seeking depth and clarity in their audio. Whether you’re enjoying your favorite albums at home or on the go, the Anser headphones prove to be a worthy companion, embodying the perfect balance of style, comfort, and sound excellence.
