The result is high-resolution sound with a lot of detail, deep bass and a wide soundstage.

It has a delicate, premium design and exceptional build quality. The sound is awe-inspiring regarding the treble, but I felt that if the mid-range had been more consistent, this would make an excellent entry-level or mid-range planar headphone. While I still think it has better value than the flagship Peacock, I wanted more coherency and refinement. The mid-range needs some tuning. Since it has a fantastic tonality, I think this concept has much potential. The approach suits market demands for design, build quality and accessories. I’m sure the sound tuning can improve with time. Yet, if you listen to R&B, Pop, Rap, and EDM, you’ll be very impressed by the energetic, crisp response and detail performance." Headfonia (Mar 2025) "Starting with the premium build and well-thought-out accessories, it positions itself well among peers in the mid-fi category. With only a few minor flaws in the sound, most aspects remain quite impressive. The tuning will appeal to those who lean toward an analytical flavor. The bass is delightful, while the treble is very appealing. The forward midrange on the Aiva 2 could be more refined and cleaner in its approach, but that’s a minor complaint given how well the other elements are sorted out. The soundstage, with solid depth, decent vertical height, and an immersive character, is a piece of art. All this makes the Aiva 2 a very competitive set of planar headphones in its price range."
