SIVGA SV007 Premium Wood Over-Ear Open Back Hi-Fi Headphones with Mic,Rosewood

I purchased these because I'm a sucker for wood, a sucker for headphones, and I wanted to find a replacement for the SHP9500 now that Gibson is no longer in business to manufacture them for Philips.First, let me say - pleasantly surprised. Quality seems to be very good, rivaling the famous SHP9500 for construction. It's like 99% metal, and wood-ear cups. Comfort out of the box above and beyond what I expected. Fenestrated leather ear pads of decent size, and a comfortable padded headband. Clamp is actually just perfect for my particular head.The 3.5mm detachable cord is nice, and the included two cords are both cloth covered, the shorter 1.3m cord has an in-line mic and volume controls for cellphone use, and the longer 1.8m cord terminates in a threaded 3.5mm plug that screws nicely into the included 3.5mm to 6.3 mm adapter. Also included, an airplane adapter (does anyone even use those?) and a little cloth/burlap sac to hold the accessories. Rounding it all out, is a pretty nice hard-case for storing the headphones, or packing them into your luggage.For what I paid for these SV007 headphones, $90, I am beyond impressed. They have spectacular soundstage/imaging, they have very good clarity and separation of tones. They are fantastic (and open-back) headphones for competitive first and third-person gaming. Frankly, it's kind of mind-shatteringly impressive how good they are, considering their price.And yes, it is real wood. Rosewood or Walnut are the two options available.For music, movies and shows, the SV007 does have a bit of a treble emphasis, and a bit less bass emphasis, but the mids are still very clear. And due to it's ability to separate details in the music I don't have any actual complaints about it sonically. It's JUST clear. Listening to Meatloaf is an actual joy with these cans.Watching the charge of the Rhohan in the Return of the King is an incredible sonic experience with these cans. AND I can wear them for hours without my ears getting sweaty, or anything getting sore/irritated (your experience may vary!)The tldr: For $90 that is their Amazon Prime price, holy ****. Buy them. Buy two.

The SIVGA SV007 Over Ear Headphones Wired,Wooden Open Back Studio Headset with HiFi Stereo, Rosewood; I really wanted to like them. Saw great reviews in several places praising the look and the sound. And yes, when I got them, I loved the look, the metal, the wood, the design. really lovely. And they were very comfortable.But for me, the sound was just way too muffled, no top end at all, so hi-hats literally disappeared, voices sounded like there was a hand over the singer's mouth, and brass had no life. It was a shame, because the bass was gorgeous, and the dynamics were exciting. But to make it listenable, I had to tweak the EQ so that at 3kHz and 12kHz it was at 4dB, and 6kHz was at 7 dB, just not a usable situation. But YMMV. Maybe my units were a bad batch, because their sound really didn't match up with the reviews.

The packaging for the SIVGA SV007 is pretty nice. Not the most grandeur, but it’s presented well and easy to open. It comes with a carrying case that does the job and houses the headphones and a little sack that contains the audio cables and adapters.The build quality on the SV007s is great. It’s made of mostly metal, pleather, and wood. The earcups are easily replaceable if you’re not a fan of the material. Adjusting the length of the headband gives a nice satisfying click of sturdiness. Having braided cables is also very nice.Comfort-wise, the SV007s need just a bit of wear to break in before they rest comfortably on your head. I wear these with glasses and they don’t feel uncomfortable for at all anymore after breaking them in. I do not have a large head, so comfort may vary. The earcups do a good job of cushioning, but they may not fit over everyone’s ears fully, although they do for mine. Again they’re easily replaceable, so not a huge problem.The sound on the SV007s is right on the money. The bass isn’t too heavy, treble is very clean, and the midrange isn’t muddy at all. Overall, it’s a very balanced headphone with good soundstaging.I use these for gaming as well, and it does the job great. One of the audio cables does come with an inline microphone, but I haven’t tested the quality on that. Instead, I paired the SV007s with a VModa Boom Pro and added a windshield and the microphone quality with those is amazing for the price. If you want a great gaming headset, get a pair of these and the Boom Pros and you won’t be disappointed.

Just received this today. Sound quality is great. Music doesn't bleed out unless you make an effort to destroy your own ears. Fits comfortably on my head, mostly. It digs into the point where my jaw begins but I don't mind too much- I've had these on for a few hours straight. The case it comes in and the zip up bag for it are pretty rad. I like that they included a tinier bag to store both audio wires inside, and that the holders for the wires are easy to use velcro. The wire is actually kinda short but I assume I can get a longer one somewhere else for a fair price. Otherwise they're pretty neat wires on their own- It's those fabric-looking ones. Don't know the name for it.In short: These headphones are great and convenient. Well worth the price if they last me long enough.
