I received the Sivga Que IEM from Sivga for review purposes. All opinions expressed in this review are my own, and Sivga has no influence over my evaluation. This review is unbiased and reflects my honest experience with the product. I am not affiliated with Sivga in any way, and I have not received any compensation beyond the product itself.
Note: I am into warm, analog sound that can produce rich and cozy tones, with enhanced bass and midrange frequencies to smoothly render it full-bodied. This captures the organic warmth of music with depth and intimacy, much like the soft texture of vinyl. Natural-sounding, relaxed, and emotionally engaging, this is perfect for immersive soothing listening. Based on my sound preference, I am writing this review.

Unboxing Experience
Sivga is clearly a brand that puts attention to detail into their products and the packaging certainly reinforces this. Inside the box, immediately you have got yourself IEMs themselves, 2 sets of silicone ear tips and a premium rated silver-plated OFC cable. You can see Sivga puts emphasis on aesthetics the moment you open the box.
Build Quality and Comfort
The build Quality of Sivga Que is solid and very comfortable. I love how they implement the wooden faceplate in a zinc alloy shell. They used White Maple Wood from North America which looks so beautiful and eye catchy. The shell is durable and slightly heavy side but not that much. I have heavier iem like the Ikko oh10s. but you can’t feel the weight when you put in your ears. also, it’s comfy for a long listening session. also for long-term gaming sessions.
Sound Performance
The Sivga Que IEM stands out due to its warm and neutral mids-sound signature. Also, the sound feels a bit unique due to its wooden faceplate. Well, let’s break down how it sounds in frequency response:
- Bass: Firstly, Amazing. The Que’s low-end is amazing. The low-end response is bold and controlled, never overwhelming the midrange. The sub-bass extends decently and is able to provide a clean rumble, but it’s not the focus of the general tuning. Mid-bass is a little bit of emphasis. It provides enough punch to keep things going well, it would seem that the emphasis here is toward maintaining clear and balance rather than hitting too hard. Bass speed is relatively good.
- Midrange: Mid-range is natural, organic, and musical, where the Sivga Que comes into its own. Mids are rich and detailed, and vocals and instruments present themselves organically. Both male and female vocals are well-represented, with warm and textured lower mids supporting a clean and detailed upper midrange that never seems to stray into harshness. Full-bodied instruments, like guitars and pianos, and the engaging listening that comes with these IEMs are quite suitable for acoustic, jazz, and classical genres. The mids timbre feels organic, and the presentation is smooth without losing clarity.
- Treble: The highs are smooth and never fatiguing. The treble is decent sparkling, and airy which adds enough detail to make the music alive but never piercing. electric guitar and cymbals did not create any fatigue in my ears. in that case, I can say that the Que a safe choice for treble-sensitive listeners who cannot handle brightness or overly spiky peaks. Detail retrieval is good for what is being paid, though it is not near as resolving as higher-end IEMs. But it’s a good pick for my test in this price point.
Soundstage and Imaging
The soundstage on the Sivga Que is pretty reasonable for this class of IEM. While it does not really provide an out-of-the-head kind of feeling, there is enough space to prevent congestion on more complex tracks. Imaging is quite good, and instruments and vocals find their place within the sound field nicely. Separation is good each and every instrument can be distinctly heard, even on more busy compositions.
Gaming Performance
The Sivga Que does alright for gaming on most fronts, especially the immersive feel coming across good and clear.
- Positional Accuracy: The Que’s image is good enough to give good location cues in open world and first person shooter games. Although, the soundstage isn’t quite as wide as an open back, much more expensive game headsets. But still, it is wide enough for competitive play you can clearly hear an enemy’s footsteps or other specific sounds. Just keep in mind that IEMs don’t naturally let you pick up on enhanced spatial cues, which some gamers like to do to get an edge in the game.
- Dialogue and Environmental Sounds: The rich, smooth midrange lends clarity to the dialogues of story driven games full of character. The sounds of npc’s are as realistic as they can be, and the sounds of trees moving, river sounds, explosions, and fire crackling are warm and deep. In games having complex soundscapes, the Que does a good job of showing mids with a nice layer of detail, instrumentation, or separation of sound effects.
- Treble and Bass Gaming: The treble is smooth, but it picks up for key sound effects like gunfire without being piercing. The controlled bass keeps the low end from getting boomy or covering up mid- and high-frequency details, which is very helpful in games where bass-heavy explosions or engine sounds ( aircraft, cars, boats, tanks ) can get too loud and block out other sounds.
Some people who use high-end gaming headsets may be used to a bigger soundstage or more treble emphasis. The Sivga Que, on the other hand, delivers balanced, enjoyable gaming and could be seen as a pretty flexible choice for gamers who want an IEM that can handle both music and games without any issues.
Tested Games: CS2, Valorent, Battlefild 2042, Call Of Duty Warzone, Once Human, RDR2, GTA V.
Comparisons
- Vs. TinHifi Dudu: The Dudu more to a neutral balance tuning, better treble, and air extension, but Que on the other hand does appear to sound warmer and smoother. The Que is excellent on vocal and instrument timbre. Dudu does sound a little more analytic. It does give me a bit more retrieval of detail.
- Vs. Ikko OH10: The OH10 has more of a V-shaped signature, with more emphasis on the bass and treble, hence more energetic and fun. Other hand the Que gave quite a balanced, and natural presentation in the mids over the oh10s. Also, the treble might be harsh in the oh10s in some tracks but Que does not do that, thus making it more suitable for longer listening without fatigue
Conclusion
The Sivga Que IEM is great for those into warm sound and value craftsmanship. As I previously said, because of the balance in sound signature-emphasizing natural mid-range and smooth treble, hence useful with a wide genre of music, majorly acoustic, jazz, pop, and voice tracks. For the extreme bass head or super detail treble, there are choices available, but the general competence in sound means this pair isn’t one to blame too much for this price. If you’re looking for a pair of IEMs that deliver on both style and music, the Sivga Que is a good option.
If you’re looking for a pair of IEMs that deliver on both style and substance, the Sivga Que is a solid contender.
