What reviewers said
Sivga Lyrebird
The Sivga Lyrebird is a wired quad-driver hybrid IEM that impresses with its detailed, energetic sound, wide soundstage, and comfortable, well-built design, making it a strong option for audiophiles and gamers alike. However, its 4.4mm balanced connection requires an adapter or dedicated amp for most users, and its tuning may not suit heavier music genres. Despite a few technical caveats, it offers excellent separation, smooth treble, and solid value at its price point.

- Pro:Comfortable, premium build quality
- Pro:Wide soundstage with smooth treble
- Con:4.4mm balanced plug limits compatibility
- Con:Needs a capable amp or adapter to sound best

TRUTHEAR 1

Overall, it's a well-priced, easy-to-recommend option for those seeking a relaxed yet engaging sound under $100.

- Pro:Strong bass response for immersive sound
- Pro:Great value for a hybrid driver setup
- Con:Warmth may be too much for some listeners
