Ever wish for earbuds with the disc-style fit of Apple’s original iPod buds\u2026 is attracting attention across the tech world. Analysts, enthusiasts, and industry observers are watching closely to see how this story develops.<\/p>\n

This update adds another signal to a fast-moving sector where product decisions, platform changes, and competition can quickly shape the market.<\/p>\n

It’s been 14 years since Apple discontinued its classic iPods earbuds, which had a circular speaker grille \u2014 ditching them for the still-sold EarPods \u2014 but other brands occasionally still release earbuds in this style, and the latest one takes advantage of the design to whack in a huge driver.<\/p>\n

Audio company Sivga has unveiled a new pair of cheap buds which share a lot of design traits with the older earbuds, except their clean white design and the sheer size of the driver involved.<\/p>\n

These are the Sivga M260, which are newly on sale in two iterations. There’s a version with a 3.5mm plug, which costs $44 \/ \u00a333 \/ AU$62, and one that connects via USB-C, which goes for $50 \/ \u00a338 \/ AU$70.<\/p>\n

We’ve mostly tested the brand’s over-ears, like the classy wooden Sivga Oriole or Sivga Robin SV021 Pro, but it sells plenty of earbuds and in-ear monitors too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The Sivga M260 gets a 14.2mm driver, which is on the big side for in-ear buds like this. It uses a dynamic driver with neodymium magnet and copper composite diaphragm.<\/p>\n

as reported by the brand, the tuning is aimed towards a smooth and natural sound, with controlled bass.<\/p>\n

In the box, you get four different pairs of ear pads, so you can make sure the M260 lock in your ears, and to block out a little bit of surrounding sound.<\/p>\n

The cable’s another element that differentiates this from the cheapie earbuds that came in-box with your iPod. It’s a 4N silver-plated, oxygen-free copper cable, and it’s detachable from the buds so you can replace the cable or buds if one or the other is damaged (or if you make an upgrade).<\/p>\n

There are some small differences between the two on-sale models. The USB-C version has a small control panel, with volume rocker and microphone, and it has a built-in DAC for hi-res audio.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Given how many products are losing the headphone jack nowadays, I imagine most people will opt for USB-C\u2026 unless you’re one of the people still holding onto your iPod and you want these to bring back that classic feeling.<\/p>\n

Looking Ahead<\/h2>\n

The full impact will become clearer over time, but the story already highlights how quickly the modern tech landscape can evolve.<\/p>\n

Observers will continue tracking the next steps and how they affect products, users, and the wider market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
