#audiophile #audioreview #headphones
I really like your new storytelling approach. Most reviewers talk about the specs first and it doesn't really fit something as personal as headphones. For someone that has a large collection of headphones such as myself, I think your shoe analogy is perfect. Great job.
I'm glad you like that approach. I'm actually having more fun now because I have to properly connect with each product (for better and worse) to find its story. I hope you'll continue to enjoy where each product takes me. 🙂
Excellent review, highlighting all the Nuances.
I'm glad it was helpful!
wonderful review to watch, thank you! Usually i skip directly to the sound section, but this time i enjoyed it from beginning to the end.. The p2 seems to somewhat resemble what i found in my DCA Ether 2
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! My aim is to make reviews more of an enjoyable watch than just a list of details so I'm glad that it worked for you!
I haven't heard the Ether 2, but that's great that you feel it's enjoyable in the same kind of way I've described the P2 Pro. It's wonderful to have a headphone like that in the collection. 🙂
Thanks for posting this video
I love your upgraded reviews, Lachlan. You're costing me, but!
Sorry about the cash! Glad you like the new approach. 🙂🙂
Maybe the best sound reviewer on RUclips, thanks.
Thank you! I'm glad you like my content
Now we all want a video on all of your fav shoes 😂
That could be arranged... 😉
I had trouble listening to the rest of the review after I saw the high heels lol. I love the touch of humor!
Glad you liked it! 😁
I quite like smooth quality of the Sivga Phoenix, do you think these would be an upgrade over them? I'm having a hard time figuring that out because I haven't used any of your comparison sets...
It's been a long time since I reviewed the Phoenix and I never owned them - they were a loaner from a viewer. I think these might be an upgrade, but it's very hard to say from memory
Another great review! I have one request. Could you give us a zoomed in view of the frequency response graphs, where we could see the actual frequency numbers for reference. The #s are so small, that it is next to impossible to get a good detailed reference point. Thank you sir. Keep up the good work.
Glad you liked the review.
I don't provide zoomed in measurements because my measurement rig is pretty basic and I wouldn't recommend using it for detailed analysis. It's really only helpful for understanding the general shape and broad areas of emphasis in a headphone's tuning.
@@PassionforSound I get it. Thanks
I bought the p2 normale once, was so dissapointed in it, I returned within 2 days. Curious how the pro sounds, hopefully less closed in, locked up feeling what I experienced with the normal p2. What I mean hifiman’s are really open sounding
What do you think about the Sivga SV023 powered by a FiiO R7? I have the FiiO already and my Sony MDR 1R can be a little harsh up top at times powered by the THX amp.
The SV023 has a little bit of a treble peak of its own so it's hard to say if it will pair better as I haven't specifically tried that combination
@@PassionforSound I ordered them so we will see
Sapphire is not a conductive material. This is used for rigidity and lithography for conductor layout.
Based on my emails with Sivga, there was some consideration given to the conductive properties of sapphire vs other materials. Perhaps it was to do with the way the metal trace interacts with the sapphire (like a dielectric), but it wasn't important enough for me to dig any deeper.
Great review! I am not into headphones as I am mostly an iem person, but I still love watching audio product reviews like this
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🙂
Hi Lachlan, do you think it is a good complement to the SV023?
It probably is now you mention it. They're very different sounding headphones, but with the lovely Sivga build and comfort.
@@PassionforSound Great, saludos desde México
how do the p2 pro and verum 2 respond to EQ? specifically in terms of bass.
I haven't played with EQ on either of them - sorry
Another nice review !!! , have you seen the new j3 from Geshelli i hope you can review it as well, i have question i have the hd800s i like it for gaming and the fit and comfortability is there any other heaphone that you can recommend has the same size or bigger earpads
I've got the J3 Pro coming on Monday. Loaded it up with the Sparkos Dual 2590 Op Amps to stack with the Erish 3 Balanced amp which has Four 2590 Op Amps in it. Really curious if there will be some 2590 Op Amps magic/synergy happening with this Geshelli stack
@@JTB-- how did you order the one with the 2590? Did you have to emai?
@@luigipuno5479 Yeah. I went back and forth with Sherri from Geshelli on email and ended up ordering them directly from Sparkos on a discount offer where they shipped them directly to Geshelli. I don't think they offer the 2590 Op Amps choice on their website yet.
@@luigipuno5479 Yeah. email Geshelli. Make sure you get the proper type of 2590 Op Amps. It's like a Dual Adapter type setup
@@luigipuno5479 Yes. email Geshelli if you want the 2590 Op Amps in the J3 Pro
Lithography and some of the other things you listed are part of semiconductor manufacturing
And sivga luan. That's also great headphones 🎧 . Well review 👏
I agree. They only missed being mentioned for the sake of time 🙂
Very nice , wood does make a difference to the sound. Look at guitars made from different woods.
I don't like the box it comes in.
My first thought was " toilet seat "
LOL. I think any time they try to make a headphone shaped case that's as flat as possible, it's going to have a bit of that look to it. 🙂
What are your best over ear recommendations for electronic music?
It really depends on how you like your electronic music to sound, but if you're after solid bass extension and presence, the Ananda Nano is probably a good choice
@@PassionforSound I like my techno and house groovy, punchy, subby and percussive. I'll produce and mix my own music on them as well as listen. I currently have Dynaudio BM15A, Focal CMS65 with M50X and DT880 headphones - the 880s really lack subs and the highs fatigue my ears. I was looking at the XS and 490 Pro as these seem to be the best rated open backs on rtings for neutral sound and accurate extended bass response as well as doing some research into Audeze but i'm not sure if the X or MM500 are really worth it. I heard hifiman's build quality is pretty awful. I like the sense of energy and punch people talk about with the focal clears. The DT770 seem like the best rated budget options on rtings for neutral sound and bass accuracy. I just saw audiosciencereviews review on the ananda nano which isn't good. How do the nano's compare to the XS? RHe might be good for me.
I'm not really a fan of the XS, but it's been ages since I used them so best to check my review because I don't remember details.
Have you considered the DT 900 Pro X from Beyerdynamic? They could be a good option. The Clears are nice too, but more coloured than I would want for mixing music.
I had the Sendy Aiva or something. Had a peacock theme from memory and were a little tilted up for me. Beautiful but I think they broke.
I never tried the Aiva, but the Sendy Peacocks are wonderful!
lol I thought I clicked the wrong link and went to a show review channel for a minute. 😂
👠👟👞
They cost $900 for Canadians. Unreal. I like these too. Nice vid.
I thought this was a shoe review and I was on the wrong channel for a minute
At least when Lachlan said "timber", he MEANT "timber" and not "timbre". ;)
👞👟👠
Waiting ur new susvara review
Me too!
I'm a long-time subscriber but I have to ask, how do you not own an HD 600 or at least a 6XX? They are still after all these years the reference for every headphones under $600 or so. I for one would really like to hear how every headphone you test in that price bracket compares and I'm sure I'm not alone. JMO
I can only keep so many headphones on hand and chose to trade or sell my HD6xx at some point once upon a time because I had others at the price that were better value for money (IMO). As a small channel, particularly in the past, I had to always sell existing gear to afford new gear so some things had to go. In an ideal world, I'd have a massive library of gear to compare with for each review, but I don't have the space or the cash. Sorry.
@@PassionforSound With all due respect, they're $200 and are widely regarded as the best value for money headphone money can buy. You have cables that are worth more than that.
Pair slippers on my head!!! 😅
I thought about including footage of that, but decided to draw a line...
I noticed that this animator-tester speaks voluntarily with a sort of breath in his voice which is not his true natural voice but a sort of vocal staging like an actor would do to embody a particular character. We can see this difference by simply comparing with other videos of him from 2 or 3 years ago. We can clearly hear this difference with 2 examples. Example 1: his video with the title "Chord Hugo TT2 DAC/Amp Review - Imperfect, but amazing!». Example no. 2: his video with the title "WiiM Mini vs Pro vs Pro Plus. Don't choose the wrong one!». I wonder why exaggerate the transformation of his vocal style and adopt such a seduction strategy.
He is setting us up for his only fans, stay tuned!
😂 yep, playing the long game...
Another great Chinese inexpensive product hard to resist buying
They're pretty cool for the money
Thanks for commenting on the “honk” because, yeah, I’m one of those overly-sensitive people.
just a bit of ringing...simply crap
