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. 🙂

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. 🙂

Excellent review, highlighting all the Nuances.

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.

@PassionforSound

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.

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

It's not as open sounding as the HiFiMans because it's a warmer/richer sounding headphone, but it's much better than the original P2 which I also didn't like

Sapphire is not a conductive material. This is used for rigidity and lithography for conductor layout.

@PassionforSound

12 күн бұрын

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.

@@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.

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 "

My only experience with Sivga is with the headphones they made for Emotiva (GR1), I was very disappointed in the sound, way too dark. It was like listening to speakers with no tweeters….. They are the only headphones I ever sold, I could not find any reason to keep them in my rotation.

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

@PassionforSound

15 күн бұрын

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.

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.
