What reviewers said
Sivga SM100
The Sivga SM100 is a budget-friendly wired IEM that punches above its price with an open, cohesive sound and impressive detail retrieval. Its controlled bass and clear mids make for a well-rounded listen, though it doesn't dig exceptionally deep in the sub-bass and the treble rolls off at the top. With a lightweight build and a detachable 2-pin cable, it's a solid option for those seeking a neutral-ish, comfortable fit under $40.

- Pro:Open, cohesive sound with good detail
- Pro:Controlled bass and clear mids
- Con:Limited sub-bass extension
- Con:Treble rolls off at the top
