What reviewers think
Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.
Product Strengths
- Excellent build quality, using premium materials like metal headbands and yokes, wood cups, and soft leather or velvet for comfort
- Comfortable, with plush ear pads and a lightweight design, making it suitable for long listening sessions
- Easy to drive and scales well with better gear
- The sound signature has a good balance of detail, musicality, and accurate tonality, making it a versatile option
- Clarity and separation of instruments with a good soundstage and decent imaging
Product Considerations
- The included cable is of lesser quality compared to the build, noting its stiffness and memory effect
- The bass response may not satisfy bassheads as it rolls off slightly in the sub-bass region
- The treble and upper mids can be a bit forward or 'shouty', potentially causing listening fatigue for treble-sensitive individuals
- The symmetrical design can make it difficult to quickly discern the left and right sides
- The included case is not aesthetically pleasing to all reviewers
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Vs Sennheiser HD 600: The Luan has better bass and a larger soundstage, but the HD 600 is slightly better in tone and timbre
- Vs Sivga Robin: The Luan has a different sound and build quality than the Robin, which is more aggressive
- Vs beyerdynamic DT900 Pro X: The mids have better details on the DT900 Pro X
Takeaway: The Sivga Luan is a well-built and comfortable headphone with a balanced sound, making it a great choice for extended listening and versatile across different sources. It is a stylish, easy-to-drive headphone with enough punch and clarity to appeal to a wide range of listeners.
What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Our summary
Product Strengths
- Uses premium materials like carbon fiber, metal, sheep lambskin earpads, and zebra wood faceplates for a luxurious feel, with excellent build quality
- Has a mostly neutral sound signature, with lambskin pads bass response is very good with a tasteful emphasis placed on the sub-bass region, and a decent midrange
- Provides good detail retrieval, resolution, and transparency of sound, the drivers can show plenty of information and micro detail
- A pad swapping system allows changes to sound characteristics, with lambskin pads and breathable fabric pads included
- Comes with a quarter-inch adapter and a 4-pin XLR adapter for use with portable or desktop devices
Product Considerations
- The stock cable is 3 meters long, which is too long for desktop use
- Headband adjustment can be a little stiff to move
- With leather pads, the highs can get slightly sharp
- There is a slight sharpness in the upper treble that might pose a problem for some listeners, using fabric pads can mitigate this
- Weight distribution could be better, there's not enough padding on the headband, and the clamp force is low, this distributes all the weight across the top of the head, which can be bothersome after 40-50 minutes
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Vs HiFiMan Susvara: Has a similar driver structure
- Vs HiFiMan HE1000 Unveiled: Is close in terms of technical performance like resolution, transient response, soundstage, depth, and openness
- Vs HiFiMan Arya Stealth: Has a better build quality and bass response
Takeaway: The FiiO FT7 is a well-built, comfortable headphone that offers a neutral-leaning-warm sound that can be tailored with different earpads. The FT7 competes with other headphones that cost significantly more, making it a great pick at its price point.

Reviews
Neumann pioneered studio recording technology by creating the first mass-produced condenser microphone in 1928 and introducing then-novel features like remotely switchable polar patterns. The company also manufactured the record-cutting lathes that defined vinyl mastering—a rare dual legacy. The brand offers faithful reissues of historic microphones built from original blueprints and studio monitors with phase linearization DSP, serving professional recording engineers and classical music producers who demand period-correct sonics and precise acoustic control.
Expand Details
Product Strengths
- Excellent stereo separation for mixing and monitoring
- Built with aluminum, it has a durable feel
- Designed for reference listening
- Clean, linear, and very detailed mids
Product Considerations
- Sound can be considered somewhat restrained, lacking upper midrange and low to HF 'hype'
- Cloth ear pads may not feel as soft or luxurious as velour pads on some other headphones
- Lacks impact and bite
- Headband padding is uncomfortable
- Single-entry cable is on the right side, which is an unusual placement
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Vs Sennheiser HD650: Differences come down to something similar to a full-range studio monitor versus a full-range hifi speaker of equal build quality and similar design, Sennheisers are geared more towards enjoying the brain-pleasing sounds of music, while you probably want to mix with the Neumanns
- Vs Sennheiser HD600/650: The HD600 and HD650 are more comfortable, with a better industrial design than the NDH-30
Takeaway: The Neumann NDH 30 is a tool that can be very helpful for mixing sessions, especially for identifying details in the mid-range of a mix. Its design and build quality also make it a lasting product.

Reviews
Thieaudio is a hifi audio brand best known for headphones with IMPACT2 technology—an in-ear "subwoofer" using two dynamic drivers in an isobaric chamber to boost bass power while keeping frequency constant—and dedicated sound bores to achieve studio-monitor layering and separation. The brand has established a benchmark reputation among reviewers for top-tier tonality at its price tier
Expand Details
Product Strengths
- The Wraith features an all-metal alloy body that feels sturdy and durable
- The earcups feature a rotating mechanism, making it convenient to rest the headphones around the neck
- The design is considered stylish, industrial, and unique
- The suspension headband design distributes weight evenly, making it comfortable to wear for long listening sessions
Product Considerations
- The Wraith's headband adjustment system is not very practical and requires a screwdriver to adjust
- Stock pads may not create the best seal, impacting sound isolation
- The soundstage is intimate, and the resolution is average
- The 2.5mm connectors on the earcups might limit replacement cable options
- Sub-bass can roll off with stock pads
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Vs HiFiMan Edition XS: The Edition XS has better resolution, clarity, and sub-bass response out of the box, but the Wraith has superior build quality, materials, robustness, and comfort
- Vs Sendy Audio Aiva: The Wraith and Aiva share a similar bass roll-off
- Vs Moondrop Venus: The Moondrop Venus costs slightly more and provides a wider soundstage and more refined sound
Takeaway: The ThieAudio Wraith has excellent build quality and a unique design, making them durable and comfortable for many users. The sound is warm and laid-back, making them suitable for casual listening.

Reviews
HIFIMAN is a hifi brand known for its planar magnetic headphones that use extremely thin diaphragms and acoustically transparent "Stealth Magnets" to reduce sound distortion. The company pioneered high-resolution portable audio players and creates electrostatic headphones that bring high-end sound quality to more accessible price points, as well as widely renowned flagship models such as the Susvara.
Expand Details
Product Strengths
- Very comfortable, even for extended listening sessions, due to a suspension strap design and large earcups.
- Soundstage is large and open, creating a concert-like experience with sounds coming from a distance and feeling like a three-dimensional experience.
- Deliver detailed and transparent sound, making it possible to hear all the nuances in music.
- Easy to drive with high sensitivity, though still benefit from a dedicated amplifier.
Product Considerations
- Some reviewers find the bass lacking in punch, preferring a more pronounced bass response.
- Treble might sound a touch bright and fatiguing, depending on the music and amplification.
- Build quality isn't mind-blowing for the price; made of plastic and metal, not always appropriate for long-term durability.
- Stock cable isn't the most wonderful, a little bit stiff.
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Vs Audeze LCD-X 2020: Arya Stealth has better resolution and soundstage, but the LCD-X has a more visceral bass and organic sound.
- Vs HiFiMan Ananda: Arya Stealth is better, with more bass, crisper resolution, and a bigger soundstage; everything is sharper, clearer, better resolved, and more refined.
- Vs Sennheiser HD800S: Arya has a slightly V-shaped profile, while the HD800S is smoother with a more neutral tuning; both trade blows equally regarding soundstage, imaging, and resolution.
- Vs HiFiMan Sundara: Arya Stealth has deeper bass response and cleaner sound, while Sundara is warmer and more mid-centric, with darker treble.
- Vs Sendy Audio Peacock: Arya has clearer, more transparent, and more detailed treble, but Peacock's bass is heavier and more impactful, its midrange is fuller and smoother.
- Vs HiFiMan Edition XS: Arya Stealth is more comfortable and feels better built, but both have a similar sound, with the Edition XS having a slightly punchier bass.
Takeaway: The Arya Stealth Magnets are great for listeners looking for exceptional imaging, transparency, and clarity in their music, offering a high-end sound experience with a spacious soundstage.

- The midrange can sound stuffy and veiled, lacking clarity and detail compared to some competitors
Comparisons (according to reviewers)

- Vs beyerdynamic DT880: The DT880 has a midbass bump and clearer mids, while the Phoenix has better treble extension
- Vs HarmonicDyne Zeus: The Zeus is a warmer set, but the Phoenix is better implemented

Our Summary
Product Strengths
- Excellent build quality using premium materials, resulting in a gorgeous and pleasing aesthetic.
- Fantastic comfort, suitable for long listening sessions, due to its ergonomic design.
- It delivers a balanced and accurate sound signature with a neutral timber, combining smooth character, laid-back tuning, and studio-grade details, making it suitable for various music genres.
- The SV023 comes with a high-quality detachable 6N OCC copper cable that is soft and has almost no microphonics.
- Above-average soundstage width and depth, creating an open and spacious sound presentation with accurate imaging and instrument placement.
Product Considerations
- Some reviewers found a slight excess energy in the upper mids and lower treble, which could lead to fatigue over time or with aggressive music genres.
- Some bass distortion may occur when reproducing very low frequency and fast-moving bass lines, particularly noticeable in specific tracks.
- The recessed upper treble might leave some users wanting more sparkle and air, although it contributes to a smoother overall presentation.
- Adjustability of the headband is a bit stiff and not as convenient as some other headphones.
- Aftermarket cables may have compatibility issues due to the narrow 2.5mm connector sockets being close to the earpad ring.
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Vs. Sennheiser HD6XX/650: The SV023 has a cleaner sub-bass and quicker drivers, with better micro-detail reproduction, while the HD6XX has more body and elevated sub-bass.

- Vs. Beyerdynamic DT880: The Sivga is more comfortable due to the headband.
- Vs. Sivga Robin: The SV023 is more balanced and accurate, unlike the Robin's W-shaped sound profile.

- Vs. HIFIMAN Aria: The SV023 has a better cable than the HIFIMAN Aria.
Takeaway: The SV023 is a well-built, comfortable headphone that offers a balanced and detailed sound, suitable for a wide range of music. Its comfortable design and solid technical performance make it a great choice for an engaging listening experience.
