Love your reviews, specifically when you talk about what types of music shine on certain headphones that is what helps me determine a purchase or not.

@lcrystalvision Год назад

Thanks for the review! I still doubt between Sivga Robin and Sivga Oriole. I'm looking for closed headphones for electronic music, budget is around 300. According to reviews, Sivga Robin are perfect for electronic music (such as PsyChill, Trance). But I also like that the Sivga Oriole can be folded, they are more compact to carry and they have a smaller headband and better hold down for a small head. The question remains, is it possible to equalize Sivga Oriole's bass, so that it sounds like Sivga Robin?! In Headfonics review they say that Sivga Oreole: "is not a super responsive headphone when it comes to bass response to alterations in your source player. is not very sensitive to bass equalization". Is it really true so? Are Sivga Oriole good enough for electronic music? Hope to see your review of Sivga Oriole and a comparison with Sivga Robin!)

@timg9404 10 месяцев назад

Any recommendations for a good dac/headphone amp for these. Will be using them at work. Bluetooth is ideal, tone control would be great as well.

@Streckometer 2 года назад

They do sound pretty good, but I actually ended up returning them for two reasons: 1) If you have a small head, they don't fit super well. Not terrible, but not well. 2) I'm a bit sensitive to sibilant S sounds, and these headphones were absolutely punishing on tracks with strong S sounds (see White Horses by Low). Yes, it's largely the track's fault, but other headphones still aren't nearly as punitive. I think for most people these will be great headphones, especially for the price. However, if you already know you don't like harsh S sounds, stay clear of these. Some positives: I did love these when playing powerful classical pieces though, they added emotion and drama to a big orchestra (try Mozart's Requiem). Well-produced pop music like Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa also sounded great on these headphones. That's my two cents. If you love these I'm not trying to talk you out of them, they're definitely good. I just wanted to let people know my experience. I've since saved up more and went for the Meze 99 Classics, and they're spectacular. Quite the price jump though. (I tried these with a standard phone/laptop aux out, and the iFi hip-dac.)

@TF2ReplayMaker 2 года назад

Hey there, I've been trying to decide between these and the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pros (80 ohms)... Have you tried the DT 770s? I almost pulled the trigger on these because of all the positive reviews. But your comment on sibilance has really made me think twice... I listen to tonnes of pop punk and classic rock, do you reckon I should give these a miss?

@Streckometer 2 года назад

@@TF2ReplayMaker I've never owned the DT770s but I have tried them ( the 32 ohm version). I remember really liking the way they sounded! I can only speak for myself and my experiences, but if I was getting a first pair of really good headphones, I'd get the 770s. If I already had a great "accurate" pair, I'd say try the Sivga ones! They're not for everyone but they sure are fun and different! Just because I didn't love how they went for their "fun" sound doesn't mean you won't. Obviously I'm in the minority here, a lot of reviewers seem to really enjoy them! Worst case, you can always return whichever one you got and get the other ones. If it helps, the song that really hurt my ears with these was "White Horses" by Low (that whole album is quickly becoming an absolute favorite of mine). I'd say give that a listen, and if the songs you like are generally less sibilant than that White Horses, you're probably good. Hope that helps a bit at least! I wish I could be more helpful, but I'm not a reviewer or anything. Just an enthusiast :) Either way, happy listening and let me know what you think of whichever ones you get!!

@TF2ReplayMaker 2 года назад

@@Streckometer Thank you so much for your detailed reply!!! Really appreciate that you elaborated so much on your opinion, as a fellow music lover 😄 I'll most definitely listen to that album by Low to get an idea of what you mean. And based on what you say I may just end up getting the DT770s since I don't have an actual pair of wired headphones just yet (been doing research for months, I only have Soundcore Life Q30s which are amazing but they're Bluetooth) I'll update you on my final choice for sure!

Randy, I really think you should get into electronic music. Not dubstep, not EDM, not the mainstream, simplified stuff that everyone assumes makes up 100% of electronic music. Take a look at some truly experimental, pioneering work. Artists like Floating Points, or Oneohtrix Point Never (Aphex Twin if you want to understand how it all started). I think you'll find some really fun music, and some of their tracks are incredibly helpful in discerning two different pieces of audio equipment. You could also take a look at the more ambient side of electronic, but that's definitely not for everyone ;).

These are almost identical to the Emotiva Airmotiv GR1s. I mean to the last detail. And of course zeos mentioned that the build of the GR1s is almost a full copy of the Sivga Phoenix, which I owned for a time. I think they copied the Phoenix/GR1s in order to release a closed back. If you have a set of GR1s or Phoenix, you will see that they are almost carbon copy in design. That's not a bad thing since the GR1s and the Phoenix are fantastically over-built. I will mention, though, that those ear cups are a real hassle to remove. But should you ever need to replace them, the Phoenix earcups are identical. They even work on ny GR1s.

@@Anomalyn1 I haven’t tried them yet. I’ve heard they have some more bass than the 361. Will be picking up a pair soon

I wonder if headphone speakers will survive clapping the earcups together the way you do. If they do, I suppose they are well built ; )

Is Chewbacca male or female. I always thought it was male but Zeos' cat Chewbacca died (RIP) which was female.

Crinacle "Schiit" down his leg on these, so I thought wait let me see if CAM Studios did a Sigva SV021 review. Thanks Randy, you're right like usual, they sound great. I used your link to buy. Appreciate the nonsmugphile audio experience, music lover reviews!

@theoutgroove3051 2 года назад

Honestly I think that they are good for spoken words or tv or podcasts but not that great for music honestly I’d either go up to $200 for the Meze 99 Neos or go cheap KOSS khp 30i which sound great too and only $30

hmmm, 4K-6K is the worst place to have a bump in the response. The smilie face EQ is popular but it's fatiguing after awhile for me. If you listen to more smooth music genres, it's probably fine but IMO rock/EDM is already very bright music. If I were to listen to those, I'd want really laid back response in the treble bands.

Are these the best under $300 headphones that’s my question what what can’t they do I listen to a lot of metal old-school Exodus all the way up to Rio clear Chris jazz, heavy on symbols, heavy and screaming vocals. Can these do it or are they just too bright you’re saying that the meds are scooped out of these how did they do with something like Motley Crue Aerosmith? Can I hear the bass on those? How did they sound with iron maiden on somewhere in time do that do they bring it out? Do they bring the vocals out on something like that? How do they sound with Nat King Cole singing Christmas carols all of this on vinyl what do I what do I expect? Are these the best I can get for $300 or is there something better what is the best under $300 for screaming vocals heavy metal

SV021 Vs M50X

@kamuginkhan 2 года назад

While I mostly agree with this analysis, he is plain wrong regarding the fact that those headphones provide good isolation, because they don't. Those vents on the ear cups makes you listen to everything around you and thus they do leak sound. I emphasizes that they are sibilant. They sound good and unique but have this big downside against them.

I’ve had these now for two weeks. Pros -very well constructed and look great -comfortable, especially if you have a large head. Low squeezing force, soft ear pads -fun to listen to, especially distorted feedback. Really shines with electronica type music Cons -too bass forward for my liking benefits from EQing down the bass -muted lower mid range/male vocals -some would say the lively, fun sound is not an honest reproduction of the recorded music Enjoyment of audio is very subjective. In the $150 price range; I’d also look at the Shure SRH 840, AT M50x, and AKG371. Overall opinion-ideal headphone if you prefer electronica type music and don’t require headband/ear pad pressure to stabilize the headphones
