The Aiva 2, produced by the Chinese company Sendy Audio, serves as the successor to the original magnetostatic Aiva, which was released approximately four years ago. With an enhanced driver that features an optimized frequency response, the Aiva 2 delivers a sound that is both more spacious and natural. As a result, users can enjoy extended listening sessions comfortably, even with the exceptionally high resolution it offers.
The ear cushion design of the new Sendy Audio Aiva 2 is informed by comprehensive data analysis of various facial structures. Its distinctive, contoured shape ensures a superior seal that remains comfortable and free from fatigue, even during extended use. This design prioritizes not only comfort but also delivers outstanding sound quality. The outer layer of the ear cushion is crafted from premium leather with a high protein content, while the interior is filled with memory foam. The surface that comes into contact with the skin is made of soft, skin-friendly velvet, guaranteeing optimal comfort and softness throughout wear.
The Aiva 2 headband is crafted through a sophisticated manufacturing process, resulting in a lightweight yet exceptionally durable design due to the incorporation of specialized sheet steel. The ear cups can rotate 30 degrees in all directions, and the headband is adjustable vertically, allowing for a customized fit for various head shapes. The leather headband offers a soft and comfortable feel, ensuring an optimal wearing experience.
The drivers in the Aiva 2 headphones feature a robust and rigid diaphragm material that measures just 1 micron in thickness. The manufacturer claims that this ultra-thin material delivers exceptionally clear mid and high-frequency reproduction, with strong definition, expressiveness, and excellent transient response, contributing to a distinctive sound profile. It is noted for its high resolution, detailed reproduction, rich information content, and expansive soundstage.
The Aiva 2 headphones are also equipped with high-quality 6N monocrystalline copper cables, which seamlessly combine stainless steel, carefully chosen wood, and precision connectors. The presence of jack plugs on the headphone side allows for straightforward cable replacement.
