    Great, your explanations allows us to identify clearly the good points between both headphones. Once my budget gets back to normal after the 11.11, I’m expecting to buy one of the Sigvas. Thanks for your work, Dave.

    I am going to save up for some Meze Classics,my Christmas gift to me. THOSE SIVGA'S look like you could mod the headphone by covering one or more vents with tape.I just love the way the Sivga Robin looks.The Oriole is on my list too. Thanks Dave.

    Been trying to find a good headpohone with 200$ budget for my friend, after watching your review, I'd prefer this instead of Denon AHGC25NC. I'm probably going to buy one for myself as well. Thank you for the honest review~

    Would you recommend this over Meze 99 Neo/Classic?

    • @TheHonestAudiophile
      @TheHonestAudiophile  2 года назад +3

      That is a good question. Very similar sounding. Meze has a slight advantage with note weight, tone and timbre, little more immersive stage. The Sivga keeps up in most areas but has a leaner sound, not as bassy, has a little smaller stage and isn't as natural in tone and timbre. Overall, the Meze is a slight upgrade sonically.

      I was originally interested in the he400se, but powering those is harder... even if my use will be mainly at home, sound isolation gives me more flexibility if I for whatever reason decide to take em with me outside... The Rode flew over my radar just recently through your videos, as did the oriole, actually. I am more inclined to getting the Rode, I think the sound quality it offers is what I'm currently looking for, but that wood on the sigma... damn, I like wood hahahaha

    Hello, which would you recommend more, Dan Clark Flow open, or Hifiman edt. XS...?? I think that Dan Clark has a little better outdoor insulation, but I don't know if there is much difference in sound...?

    • @TheHonestAudiophile
      @TheHonestAudiophile  2 года назад +1

      I haven't heard the Hifiman Edition XS. Dan Clark Flow Open is a solid option.
