Sivga Que

Sivga Que - An all round Quality IEM

Sivga is a well-respected name in the headphone community producing incredible nice looking headphones typically with a mixture of wood and metal. With the release of the Sivga Que, they’ve introduced an IEM that combines a 10mm beryllium-plated dynamic driver with their signature wooden faceplate design. The result is an IEM aimed at delivering the Sviga “house sound” of rich bass, clear mids, and energetic highs—all wrapped in a beautifully designed, ergonomic shell.

Having listened to this IEM for the past few weeks, I feel this IEM did not receive the attention it deserves when it was originally released and is probably under lots of peoples ‘radar’, so hopefully this Review can help restore some of that deserved recognition.

Unboxing

The Sivga Que comes packaged in a sturdy, compact box

Which when opened reveals the IEMs with that wooden faceplate:

They are in my opinion they are absolutely gorgeous, the wooden faceplate is lovely and zinc alloy shell perfectly compliments it and having recently reviewed the Sivga Luan headphone I love how Sivga use these materials in their designs:

Here is everything you get in the box:

The carrying case also ‘screams’ quality and is made from premium PU leather:

It is spacious enough to store both the IEMs and a small DAC/Amp, adding a practical touch to its portability

The silver-plated OFC copper cable is soft, tangle-free, and very high quality. It is the type of cable you should expect from a $200-$300 IEM, but you seldom receive.

Fit and Comfort

Thanks to its lightweight yet sturdy construction, the Sivga Que is very comfortable to wear for long periods. The ergonomic shell design fits snugly in the ear, and the soft silicone tips provide a good seal, ensuring both comfort and passive noise isolation. Despite its metal construction, the IEMs don’t feel heavy in the ear. The nozzle width at its extreme is 6.5mm:

Sound Impressions

The Que makes an excellent impression especially if you like a slightly mid-forward tuning. This allows female vocals and some instruments like piano’s and guitars also are brought slightly forward. But lets get into the details:

Bass

The sub-bass in the Sivga Que is well-extended and delivers a deep rumble, adding impressive energy to bass-driven tracks. It’s especially engaging with tracks like “Royals” by Lorde, where the low-end depth complements her voice without overshadowing the rest of the mix. The mid-bass is punchy yet slightly loose, which works well for casual listening, adding warmth and fullness without crowding faster, technical tracks like “Bad Guy” by Billie Eilish. While there is a slight roll-off in the lowest frequencies, the bass remains clean and well-controlled, striking an enjoyable balance that complements the rest of the tuning nicely.

Midrange

One of the standout qualities of the Sivga Que is its detailed, textured midrange. Male and female vocals come through with warmth and richness, making it particularly well-suited for vocal-centric tracks. For instance, in “Someone Like You” by Adele, the Que highlights the emotional intensity in her voice, giving it a natural, full-bodied quality. The upper midrange receives a slight boost, enhancing acoustic tracks like “Blackbird” by The Beatles with a lively, engaging tone. This smooth, non-shouty presentation makes the midrange both engaging and versatile across genres.

Treble

The treble on the Que provides an enjoyable, energetic presentation, though it lacks a bit of detail in certain areas. For example, on tracks like “Take Five” by The Dave Brubeck Quartet, the cymbals and upper frequencies come through smoothly without harshness, though they don’t quite achieve the sparkle or airiness found in higher-end headphones. This restrained approach to treble makes the Que a comfortable choice for long listening sessions, while still delivering enough detail to keep things engaging on most tracks.

Soundstage and Imaging

The soundstage on the Sivga Que, while not the widest, feels adequately spacious for most genres, offering a realistic sense of depth. On well-layered tracks like “Hotel California” (Live) by Eagles, there is a good sense of separation, with each instrument occupying a distinct space. Imaging is precise, allowing for clear positioning of elements, especially in complex arrangements like “Baba O’Riley” by The Who, where the Que captures the layering and placement of instruments effectively.

Specifications and Measurements

Key thing here is the easy to drive sensitivity value.

Frequency response

So you can hopefully see that there is a nice “warm” sound signature where there is a bit of mid-bass warmth and a nice forward 1-2Khz midrange.

Distortion

Distortion is very well controlled and well below any audible levels:

Even as a percentage it is less than 1%:

Some Comparisons

When compared to similarly tuned IEMs, such as the FiiO FD15 and Aful Explorer, the Sivga Que delivers a similarly warm and bass-rich sound signature but stands out with its natural wooden design and detailed midrange. While the FiiO FD15 offers a more forward treble and tighter bass response, the Sivga Que is more relaxed and smoother in its presentation.

The Aful Explorer, on the other hand, offers a more unique sound while the Kiwiears KE4 represents that “New Meta” tuning, making it better suited for listeners who prefer a more balanced and technical sound. However, for those seeking warmth and immersive mids, the Sivga Que remains an excellent choice and I firmly believe people should have a few different tuning’s in their IEM collection.

Rating

I have given the Sivga Que a very pragmatic 4-star rating. As fitting a Sivga product, the Que has a quality built with a lovely wooden and metal shell as an extremely nice cable and excellent accessories. The sound is also excellent with a nice warm presentation, but the competition at this price point is exceptional and for me the treble lets down the Sivga a little though with a little EQ this can be an exceptional sounding IEM.

If you’re someone who:

•	Appreciates natural wood and metal design in your audio gear
•	Enjoys a rich but balanced sound signature
•	Wants an extremely comfortable IEM for extended listening with a quality cable

then the Sivga Que might just be the perfect addition to your collection.

Conclusion

The Sivga Que is an exceptional IEM for those seeking a warm, detailed sound signature paired with top-notch craftsmanship. Its beautifully designed shell, combined with a beryllium-plated driver, delivers a fun and immersive listening experience, especially for vocal and acoustic tracks. While it may not have the widest soundstage or the most extended sub-bass, it’s an IEM that excels in offering a rich, enjoyable sound that will appeal to both audiophiles and casual listeners alike. For the price, the Sivga Que is a fantastic value, considering the build quality and a must-consider option for anyone in the market for a stylish, high-performing IEM.
