similar to the Robin, as one would expect given their obvious similarity. I prefer the style, and they’re as impeccable in build and finish as any other Sivga headphone I’ve tried. Unlike plastic-laden rivals for similar money, they should last a lifetime if you look after them.
Cutting-edge Bluetooth headphones for the wifi generation, packing some of the best tech currently available, supporting the latest wireless codecs, offering outstanding comfort, portability and battery life, and with some of the best planar-magnetic headphone drivers on the market.

a highly detailed and revealing performance perfect for digital mixing and analytical listening alike.
Tiny earphones perfectly acceptable and even enjoyable with most mainstream music, ideal for music on the go.

They are a steal at their current price and earn a thoroughly deserved recommendation.
