SIVGA Que

About Sivga:
Sivga is a well-known audio gear company renowned for producing high-quality headphones, particularly its wooden over-ear models.



sound signature:
Que has vibrant U-signature. The mid-bass is elevated but not overwhelming, with the bass and treble standing out while the mids sit comfortably in between neither recessed nor overly forward. Male vocals, in particular, have fantastic body and presence, while female vocals are sweet but not shouty. The string instruments sound smooth and rich, providing a pleasing tonal balance.


Build, tech and fitting:

The in-ear monitors have a solid build with a zinc alloy shell for the main chamber, making them super durable. The rear chamber is crafted from white maple wood, giving them a really sleek and beautiful look. featuring a 10mm beryllium-plated dynamic driver. IEM size is not big not medium but lies in the middle for me and they are light in weight
The tangle-free silver-plated OFC copper cable is thick, very soft and supple,
The cable is thick yet supple, which adds durability without sacrificing flexibility.
Here’s the carrying case – it looks super fancy! I can't believe how they included it with IEMs priced under $100. It definitely feels premium, made from quality PU leather. and it's big enough to fit both the IEMs and a DAC/amp.

Disclaimer:
This unit has been borrowed from a friend. I won't get any benefits from this review. I'm here simply to share my experience.

My preference:
I'm kind of guy who prefer neutrality with little bit of musical presentation either warm or bright doesn't matter.

Bass:
It has decent subbass, and rumbles at times it is more mid bass than subbass, bass fells full bodied and it is thick moderately tight not as tight as other Iems like ea500 best part is it still has nice texture. bass decay is perfect for those who want laid back and relaxing experience. bass impact is very solid. Kick drums have excellent presence and snare drums has good clarity overall bass is very dynamic.
On tracks like Get lucky by draft punk, the bass is smooth and punchy. The drums hits are very tactile, heavenly presence that adds depth and warmth to the sound. It's slightly bass-heavy in the best possible way, giving it a rich and soothing quality. On *A Life So Changed*, the bass is soft yet impactful, with all the instruments blending in a laid-back in relaxing manner. The in-ear monitors shine with pop and hip-hop genres, as the bassline is emphasized without overshadowing the rest of the mix.



Mid-range:
The male vocals are dense full bodied, providing a solid presence, while the female vocals are sweet and airy.
You Got Me Singing by Leonard Cohen showcases how well these IEMs handle different vocal textures. it has warm presence, The transitions between the different vocal ranges are seamless, and the overall sound is incredibly smooth.
On tracks like Solar Power by Lorde, the vocal texture of the female singer is gorgeous, with each note carrying weight and depth. The chorus on this track sounds splendid, without any harshness or sibilance.

midrange acoustic instruments vivid and vibrant. the guitar plucks are crisp while the electric guitar strings come through with exceptional clarity. wish you were here by Pink Floyd has variety of midrange instruments sounds excellent none of they neither aggressive nor soft perfectly balanced.
Vivaldi the four season summer also has variety mid-range instruments, and they sounded very vibrant. Que is able to showcase the natural timbres of the violins and cellos without any thin/sharpness.



Highs:
The treble is crisp and well-defined, extension is not bad. with high-hat cymbals and other sharp percussion elements coming through clearly without becoming harsh or fatiguing. It's not analytical level but very prominent, but sometimes it feels treble little more softened on few tracks.
On Black Water Park by Opeth, many IEMs fail to reproduce the intricate details of metal tracks, often pushing the sound into overly bright and sharp territory. Not so with these Que handles fast transitions between heavy guitar riffs and complex drumming smoothly. The overall tonal balance is excellent. angel by massive attack sounds a little smoothed out but not to a point where it detracts from the enjoyment, but I wish it could have more extension.



Technical Performance:

The IEMs provide good micro-details and excellent macro details, which adds a layer of richness to the listening experience.
soundstage is spacious, both horizontally vertically and has excellent depth.
presentation of a track the die is cast by enigma has excellent stereo expansion with acceptable separation. The imaging between left and right channels good.
Similarly, on Hotel California(live), you can hear the fans' cheers, clapping, and whistles in the background, creating a live concert-like experience. Bass hits with authority, while the guitar pulls create a soothing, immersive surround sound with a wide presence. The overall sound is vivid, vibrant, and relaxed, without sacrificing the detail. however micro nuances can be pops slightly less than other Iems. I do play fps games, and I found positional accuracy is excellent footsteps of enemies and vehicle sounds with great accuracy.



Tone and timbre:
My plague by slipknot sounds really exciting guitar bites are perfectly crisp and never sounded shouty at all, handled all the fast transients with ease
Fast and heavy tracks like Opeth’s Wrath also sound great—the bass is punchy, and the transitions are handled smoothly without losing detail and maintained tonal balance with natural timbre
Overall tone is natural, and timber is very organic. It has nice dynamic presentation never sounded metallic or thin.

Comparison with Other IEMs:
delci:
the Que offers more vibrant vocals—both male and female—which gives it an edge for vocal-centric tracks. The Delci also good but sometimes female's vocals sound little euphoric, and Delci has a stronger sub-bass emphasis. while the Que focuses more on the mid-bass, providing a smoother, more natural treble response. both are resolving enough for their price range. In terms of overall sound, Delci sub bass is very fast and impactful while the Que feels less aggressive in its tuning, which might be preferable for extended listening sessions without fatigue.

Simgot ea500lm:
the first big difference you find on ea500 is how good the resolution and bass is very tight and has faster decay, midrange sounds sweet and excellent treble extension compared to Que. however I find myself Que is more enjoyable because Ea500lm sounds lean, it has bass very adequate that effect male vocals to sound little thin than usual and due to brightness on ea500lm my ears getting fatigue after 15mins

Final Thoughts:
In conclusion, these in-ear monitors are an excellent choice for those looking for relaxed and vibrant sound that works well across a wide variety of genres. they are vibrant sounding rather engaging.
Whether you're listening to pop, rock, metal, or even some classical and electronic music, these IEMs will deliver a satisfying listening experience with excellent clarity, slam of mid bass, and a smooth treble. While they may not be perfect for every genre (especially orchestral music with complex arrangements), they shine in most situations and provide a highly enjoyable sound profile.
however, people who what detailed/analytic sound these are not for you, Que is for who want laid back and relaxing experience. and Que is not for people who listens to music in low volume, all the details pops out and hits sweet spot at medium to higher volumes

An all round gorgeous IEM with a rich sound signature​

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.

Unboxing:

For the price the Sivga Que comes with a premium set of accessories. Only the option for a 4.4mm balanced or modular cable is missing. Here is what’s included in the box:
1. Faux Leather carrying pouch
2. Nob-modular silver-plated copper cable
3. Two types of silicon ear tips (S/M/L)
4. User Manual



Specifications and Build Quality:

The Sivga Que is designed with a 10mm beryllium coated driver, which is housed in a durable yet lightweight aluminum alloy shell. The faceplate is made of maple word imported form North America. Que’s sleek design is both modern and comfortable, featuring an ergonomic fit that remains comfortable for extended listening sessions. The detachable cable uses a 2-pin 0.78mm connector, giving users flexibility to upgrade if desired. This attention to both durability and comfort makes the Sivga Que a reliable option for daily use.


Sound Signature:

The Sivga Que is tuned to a warm-neutral, U-shaped sound signature that emphasizes both bass and treble without overpowering the mids. This tuning creates an enjoyable and engaging listening experience, bringing out the warmth of the low end while maintaining clarity and openness in the high frequencies. The warmth is controlled, never allowing the sound to become bloated or congested.

The overall warmth makes the Que ideal for extended listening sessions, as it provides a balanced, full-bodied sound without sacrificing too much details or introducing harshness. It strikes a fine line between warmth and clarity, making it desirable for a wide range of listeners.

Treble (4/5):

The treble on the Sivga Que is well-extended and delivers a good level of sparkle without becoming harsh or fatiguing. It brings a lively energy to the music, with enough brightness to enhance the overall sound without crossing into sibilance. This treble extension helps create an airy quality, adding depth to instruments like cymbals and hi-hats, which come through with crispness and clarity.

Listeners who are sensitive to treble will appreciate how the Sivga Que manages to stay engaging without causing fatigue. This smooth yet sparkly treble is particularly well-suited for genres like jazz and classical, where high-frequency detail is essential but needs to be handled delicately.

Mids (3.5/5):

The mids on the Sivga Que are positioned well within the mix, making vocals and midrange instruments feel present and engaging. Both male and female vocals sound natural and pleasing, with a rich texture that adds to the emotional quality of the music. Male vocals benefit from a touch of warmth in the lower mids, giving them a thicker, full-bodied sound, while female vocals are clear and vibrant without sounding overly bright. Personally, I would have liked a bit more forward vocals though.
Instruments such as guitars, pianos, and saxophones benefit from this midrange tuning as well, sounding realistic and detailed. The forwardness and texture in the mids allow the Que to reproduce acoustic and instrumental music with authenticity, making it an enjoyable choice for fans of rock, folk, or classical genres where midrange clarity is crucial.

Bass (4/5):

The bass performance of the Sivga Que is centered on the mid-bass, which takes precedence over the sub-bass. This creates a punchy and textured bass response that provides fullness without overwhelming the rest of the sound signature. The bass is fast enough to keep up with busier genres like rock, metal, and electronic music, providing a solid rhythm section that drives the music forward.

While it may not have the deepest sub-bass rumble, the bass on the Que offers enough presence and impact to satisfy most listeners who enjoy a balanced, yet lively low end. It doesn’t cross into the territory of being overly boomy, allowing for a cleaner and more controlled low-end response.

Timbre, Resolution, and Soundstage (4/5):

The timbre of the Sivga Que is natural and pleasing, capturing the authentic tones of instruments and vocals without any artificial coloration. The sound feels organic, lending a sense of realism to acoustic instruments and orchestral arrangements.
While the resolution and clarity are good, the Sivga Que is not focused on extracting micro-details. Instead, it prioritizes musicality, providing just enough detail to keep things interesting without becoming overly analytical. Imaging and instrument separation are also commendable, though not extraordinary, offering a well-organized presentation that allows listeners to locate instruments within the mix.

The soundstage is where the Sivga Que truly shines. It is very wide and spacious, with excellent depth and height that give it a sense of openness reminiscent of a traditional 90’s speaker setup. This wide soundstage enhances the overall listening experience, making it feel more immersive and three-dimensional.

Comparison with Kefine Delci AE:

When compared to the Kefine Delci AE, the Sivga Que takes a different approach to sound. The Delci AE has a higher bass quantity, making it more suitable for bass lovers. However, the Que has more texture and speed in its bass, which adds refinement and makes it better suited for complex genres that demand agility in the low-end.

The Sivga Que’s soundstage is notably wider, offering a more spacious and holographic experience, which feels akin to listening to music through a speaker system. In contrast, the Delci AE has a more in-your-head sound, lacking the same sense of openness. The treble on the Que is also more extended, providing greater sparkle and air, which adds liveliness to the music.

In the midrange, both IEMs offer good clarity and detail, but male vocals on the Sivga Que have a slight edge due to the added warmth in the lower mids, giving them a thicker and more robust sound. While the Delci AE with its gold nozzle may provide a touch more micro-detail, the overall musicality and holographic stage of the Sivga Que make it the more engaging option.


Conclusion:

For listeners seeking a musical, bassy, and spacious IEM under $100, the Sivga Que is hard to beat. It offers a wide soundstage, a warm yet balanced tuning, and an engaging sound signature that is ideal for immersive listening sessions. Those who prefer a more technical and brighter sound may want to explore options like the Simgot EA500LM or Simgot EW300, which provide a more analytical approach. However, for fans of warmth, width, and musicality, the Sivga Que is an outstanding choice in this price range.
