SIVGA SV021 PRO V2 Closed-Back Headphone

Description

About the SIVGA SV021 PRO V2 Closed-Back Headphone

The SIVGA SV021 PRO V2 Closed-Back Headphone has 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response, 106dB sensitivity, 45-ohm impedance, a 1.6m cable length and 289g weight.

The SV021 Pro V2 is a great option for home listening, office listening and relaxed hi-fi headphone systems where comfort, style and easy enjoyment matter.

The closed-back design makes it more practical than open-back headphones in shared spaces. It helps keep some sound in and some outside noise out. Isolation is decent for home or office use, although it will not isolate like a full studio headphone or ANC model.

The V2 version is also important. The SV021 Pro V2 is a retuned version of the original SV021 Pro, with changes including tuning mesh in front of the driver and revised tuning material at the back of the driver. The V2 sounds notably different from the earlier version, despite looking almost identical on the outside.

For NZ customers wanting a stylish closed-back headphone that is smooth, warm and comfortable, this is a strong choice. Pair it with a good DAC / headphone amp, an Eversolo streamer, a desktop DAC, or a quality integrated amplifier with headphone output, and it becomes a very enjoyable everyday headphone.

Key Features

Closed-Back Over-Ear Design

The SV021 Pro V2 uses a closed-back over-ear design. This makes it more suitable for shared rooms, offices and late-night listening than open-back headphones. It also gives the headphone a fuller, more contained sound.

50mm Dynamic Driver

SIVGA uses a 50mm aluminium diaphragm dynamic driver. The official product page describes the diaphragm as a five-layer composite design engineered for a balance of rigidity and damping.

Aluminium Composite Diaphragm

The aluminium composite diaphragm is designed to improve clarity, speed and detail while keeping the sound smooth and controlled. SIVGA also notes the use of an ultra-fine black copper aluminium alloy voice coil for improved driving efficiency and detail retrieval.

Retuned V2 Sound

The V2 is not just a name change. SIVGA changed the internal tuning, adding a mesh in front of the driver and revising the tuning paper and venting at the back of the driver. These changes were made to create a more balanced, natural and technically improved sound.

Warm and Musical Presentation

HiFi Oasis described the SV021 Pro V2 as an enjoyable closed-back headphone with a warm, musical sound signature, satisfying bass weight, smooth midrange and treble that avoids harshness.

Natural Wood Ear Cups

The SV021 Pro V2 is available with natural wood ear cups. SIVGA lists Beechwood and Zebrawood options, giving the headphone a more premium and handcrafted look than many standard plastic designs.

Lightweight Comfort

At 289g, the SV021 Pro V2 is reasonably light for a closed-back wooden headphone. This helps make it comfortable for longer listening sessions.

Ergonomic Ear Pads

SIVGA lists widened, skin-friendly velour ear pads designed to be soft, breathable and comfortable. This is useful for home listening, desk listening and longer music sessions.

Detachable Cable

The SV021 Pro V2 includes a detachable cable with dual 3.5mm headphone connectors and a 3.5mm single-ended plug. A 3.5mm to 6.35mm adaptor is also included.

Easy Amplifier Matching

With 45-ohm impedance and 106dB sensitivity, the SV021 Pro V2 can work with a wide range of headphone outputs. However, it will still benefit from a good DAC / headphone amplifier for better control and dynamics.

Suggested System Match

A great match would be the SIVGA SV021 Pro V2 with a compact DAC / headphone amplifier and a high-quality streaming source.

For an Eversolo-based system, use an Eversolo streamer or DAC with a good headphone output. For desktop listening, pair the SV021 Pro V2 with a USB DAC / amp and a computer or laptop.

For hi-fi rack listening, connect it to a quality integrated amplifier, CD player, streamer or DAC with a headphone output. The SV021 Pro V2’s warm tuning makes it a good match with clean, detailed source components.
