[@oblio44]

I've been listening to my Sivga Phoenix about a week now and I feel this is an outstanding headphone for $255. Exceptional sound, build, et for the money. I sold my HD 58X on E*bay as I knew I would never enjoy them again; never really did. This review is very accurate. Not sure a balanced cable made a difference here but I just use balanced cables for all of my cans. BTW, the stock cable is nice. As for fit and comfort, there are many complaints about comfort out of the box. Some reviewers and commenters suggest bending, stretching... I found these cans very comfortable as soon as I first put them on and I have been able to listen to music and streaming tv for hours. I wear a medium size hat for reference. Lastly, regarding bass on these cans, when I listened to the soundtrack for the movie Interstellar, the rumble of the sub-bass just put a huge smile on my face; it was deep, clear, balanced, and thus far, not fatiguing. Wonderful all-rounder! Zeos got this right!!! Thanks.

[@misterx3666]

Thanks for sharing. I might wanna pick one up since my main headphones currently are the 58x. Great taste in movies btw!

[@oblio44]

@@misterx3666 For the sheer fun of listening to music, all types of music, the Sigva Phoenix are fantastic. Drop just gave notice that the Focal Elex (finally) shipped and I expect them any day. I expect these will be my flagship cans but they cost $700 (I got the $600 one day price!). I also really enjoy the DT 177x Go from Drop; a different listening experience from the Sivga. To me, the Sivga are better than my AKG 702 (sold), AKG 712 (sold), HE 400i and HD 58X (sold).

[@misterx3666]

@@oblio44 I do have the focal stellias as flagship headphones. I got them used for a good price but don't use them a lot. I like the 58x better for gaming. They are lighter and very comfortable. I use the stellias when I'm on the go, which is kind of ironic. They sound good but I dont know if they sound 3000$ good. Made me appreciate my 58x more. I did not really like them for a long time.

i still think the 58X sound ..more refined then the Phoenix'. The Sivgas are more fun with ..hum..well "fun" music (you know, the "HURR!HURR! MUSIC GOES BOOM!BOOM!" style), but Jazz and classical sound better on the 58Xs, by a pretty big margin. Also the 58Xs are MUCH more comfortable to wear over longer periods of time.

[@dplariosa]

I owned these, they really are fantastic. I have a small head so I had no fit issues. They are super light and comfortable. The bass was incredible for an open back. Ran fine off a BTR5.

[@svmacmanus9832]

I can agree with Zeos 1000%. These are a great pair to get into listening to music in a new way for people who haven't gotten into this hobby. Ridiculously easy to drive off of a smartphone. As someone who currently owns the Sivga P-II's, Focal Elegia, Philips SHP9500, these Phoenix hit way above their price range. Put these on a smartphone with nothing else and play the track "Autumn in Ganymede" from the Cowboy Bebop OST and if that beginning bass line does not hook you like it hooked me then I don't know what else would. Just buy them, period.

[@Farazao]

How does they compare with the Elegia in sound quality? Are they close?

[@svmacmanus9832]

In my opinion I'd say yes in terms of cost to performance. If you have to budget then I'd say get these. If money wasn't an option the get both because they are both great although I think the Elegias benefitted from having around 100 hours of burn in. The Elegia has one noticeable caveat to them, that is they really need to have a good seal on your head or otherwise the sound signature changes drastically and you lose all the bass and i mean LOSE all of it. So if you wear glasses get the Phoenix. The Elegias do need an EQ around 80-120hz depending on your preference and the vocals i find to be more in your face, so when it comes to live music tracks I prefer the Phoenix because you have a nice balance of hearing the instruments being played with the vocals. Detail and Imaging though i have to give to the Elegia hands down. Soundstage id say is a tie for me in general. They both have very good Soundstage. Hope this helped:)

[@Farazao]

@@svmacmanus9832 that put things into perspective, it helped a lot! Thank you!

[@judearias4490]

Luv this stuff. I'm looking for some cans with clean BASS. I love 120 Hz to 140 Hz bass to be specific. I got some Sundara's and had to return them. Great detail and great mids, and highs. With EQ I could not get a satisfying Bass out of them. It's like they sent the bass section to the back of the room. I could not live with this. So, wondering if these Sivga Phoenix would re-spark my fire? Also looking at Meze 99 Neo's, maybe comparable. Any suggestions?

[@HiFiGOAudio]

Sivga Phoenix actually performs way above their price range. Pretty solid performance and very easy to drive. Also good review as always Zeos :)

[@_.--.--._]

validate me senpai 😍 bought these a few weeks ago after seeing the unboxing, loving the look, then finding your amazon review. they sound and look fantastic. i was worried they wouldn't fit because i wear a size xl motorcycle helmet (long oval shape, fwiw) but they're perfect adjusted down a couple mm from max on both sides. i did loosen the clamp and adjust the angle as shown in this video. hooked up to my topping a50/d50s, the sound is exactly what i want for music... slightly warm, nice low end response, good detail and high end but not ear piercing. the only other open backs i have are audio technica ath-ad900x which can be harsh with the highs and lacking in low end. i still do use those for gaming because of the slightly better imaging and wider soundstage, as well as a boom mic after i modded them. but for everything else, phoenix every time. the low end really is something special. i did not expect open backs to come close to how these sound, but here we are. worth every damn penny

They sound great. They have great bass. I was immediately impressed. Instant smile. Onto the negatives. They are actually too efficient IMHO. Need a weak amp or you can overdrive them. They get loud and one click more and they distort. Loud is loud, but they are the first Headphone that can distort in my collection. Would have kept them, but they didn't fit. The cups are too small and pads were on bottom of the ear. Almost on ear - call it semi on ear. Pads were also too thin, but still comfortable. If you lay them next to any headphone they are minature size. Looks wise they appear to made for a kid or small female head. No joke. Like the Martian cartoon character with the minaturizing gun shot them and shrunk them. If they fit you they are gold for the price.

[@therealchickentender]

This was pretty similar to my experience with them. Tried them for about 3 weeks and finally sent them back. These actually hugely reminded me of Blon BL03s in terms of sound. I liked them a lot but not enough to keep, particularly due to fit but partially because they don't make sound the way I like an open-ear pair to make. Too closed sounding. I get why many people would dig'm though.

[@ftlaud911]

@@therealchickentender - they are a great set of cans if they fit. I bought them with zero reviews on Amazon. Sviga sent me an email asking me why I returned. Gave them honest feedback. Way too late for them to change anything at that point. Listened to them for 1 day. GF commented they were too small for me. Let her try em and she liked them. Wanted to keep em, but just didn't fit my head. Asked her if she wanted them and she said no. Boxed them back up and returned.

[@therealchickentender]

@@ftlaud911 Hahah. I did almost the same. There just two reviews on Amazon when I bought, one of them being Z. I kept mine for 3 weeks and ask my lady if she liked them and they fit her great, but she preferred the pair of X2HR we have around (she loves the super-wide soundstage)... So I kept them for quite a while longer trying to come around but they just didn't quite do it. Close but no cigar.

I've had these for 2 weeks + at this point and the pads have finally broken in. They are now completely wearable, I heartily reccomend this headphone, it sounds so god damn good. It will take a while to get used to the material touching your ears but it gets way more comfortable after a while. The de-clamping is the most important thing tho, do not skimp, if they are uncomfortable just unclamp them again.

Zeos was right about the Phoenix. I have been listening to them for 3 hours and they sound really good. Good bass and nice mids, the highs are not as refined as $1000 headphones .I have no problem with the size or clamping pressure, they fit my head perfectly with the yokes extended all the way down. Very comfortable, close to my HD 600's (much more lively sounding than the HD 600's), more comfortable than Bose Quiet Comfort 35's( and much better sound ). I have no problem with the pads touching my ears. I can't wear IEM's in my ears, so these are good for me. Excellent build quality for the price, I will keep these for my office headphones.

What tonal profile are you looking for? For bass, thr Sivga. For air, more soundstage, and more treble presence, the Sundara. I owned the Sivgas and they're excellent for the price, but I ultimately returned them due to my preference for larger soundstage.

[@hal9xxx321]

@@KCC46 coming from a fairly narrow HD650, a wider stage is a must. But I'm also leaning towards having more on low end which the Sundara might not do well, and I think the 650 delivers good enough performance in the mids and highs section despite being a "veiled" cans (well at least for my preference). So yeah, looking for a wider and bassier cans...but if it's wider than HD650 that's good enough to me. I listen to alot of pop and rock.

Damn it, Zeos. Just ordered the Phoenix although i have the nighthawk carbon, the fidelio X2 and the tygrs. I can't buy new headphones all the time, some has to go. So i hope that the phoenix are a solid upgrade compared to the fidelios.

[@FrobroX]

Do you have any impressions of them yet?

[@keppes1268]

@@FrobroX So my first impression after 2-3 hours of listening: Pretty unbalanced. I like v-shaped and warm headphones and don’t need a super neutral or flat headphone, but the sivga is like a rollercoaster. The bass is pretty strong and tight. Definitly tighter than on the x2. The nighthawk has better bass texture and impact. Mids: I also hear the bass bleed into lower mids. The bigger problem are the upper mids. They are too strong. Female vocals are very present and in your face. I find this very fatigueing. This is even more noticeable when you consider the bass bleed in the lower mids. In this regard the phoenix is the opposite of the nighthawk carbon. I miss some vocal presence on the nighthawk (Josh Valour mentioned this in his nighthawk video too). This is the only con with the nighthawks for me. The phoenix has a too pronounced vocal presence. This is more noticible when you take the roll off in treble and the bass bleed in lower mids into consideration. Treble is rolled off. I miss some details and sparkle there. Another reviewer said that due to the rolled off treble, he can listen to this cans for hours, but i don’t think that i share this opinion. Due to the peak in the upper mids these are very fatigueing. Soundstage is very small for open back headphones. It is almost like listening to a closed set. Build quality and look are pretty good. I also like the compact form factor. Pads aren’t very good. I will do some pad rolling. All in all, i won’t keep these headphones. For gaming i would go with the tygr or x2/nighthawk carbon. The nighthawk carbon with microsuede pads has some kind of similar tuning, but beats every single sound category. The X2 has a more muddy texture quality espacially in bass. But the x2 has a much bigger soundstage and a ‘rounder’ sounding. I would prefer the x2 over the phoenix for music and gaming espacially considering the price. Also the tygr is a more natural and relaxed alternative, which i can enjoy for long time periods. Also the tygrs are awesome for gaming due to lazer imaging and big ss. So all in all i miss an outstanding tonal feature, which would make the phoenix special. Also i wouldn’t spend more than 200 euro for the phoenix. I will burn them in in the next days and will try the brainwavez hybrid and the audioquest nighthawk pads, but i don’t think that this will solve all of the tonal problems

[@keppes1268]

@@FrobroX Hey, i do own the tygr, the fidelio x2 and the nighthawk carbon. I sent back the Phoenix today after trying them for 2 weeks. The phoenix has very pronounced or prominent upper mids. So vocals are forward sounding. The mids on the tygr are slightly recessed and the soundstage is much bigger. I don’t think, that vocals are pushed back too far away. It is a question of personal preference and which sound signature you like. For my taste the mids on the phoenix are too much. They are too forward and always in your face. I could hear max 5 songs in a row, because the listening experience was so fatigueing for me. Don’t get me wrong. I like fun headphones, which have elevvated sound areas here and there. But the Phoenix was just too forward sounding. On the other hand vocals on the Nighthawk Carbon (with microsuede pads) are just a little bit too far away for my taste. Josh Valour mentioned the recessed vocal prensence in his nighthawk video, too. That is the only con that i have with the nighthawks carbon. The tygr has a pretty neutral or balanced vocal presence in my opinion. I think, that you maybe just prefer forward mids or vocals. The fidelio x2 has also a pronounced vocal presence, but not to the degree of the phoenix. This is why i prefer the X2 for most music compared to the nhc or the tygr. I think that the nhc beats the fidelio in most sound categories (technically speaking), but i simply like the presentation of vocals more on the x2. I agree with you, that the bass (and general sound) texture on the tygr isn’t really impressive. On a weak amp (in my case the ifi zen) bass distorts on the tygr even more than the bloated bass of the fidelio x2. The tygr needs some power to sound better in my opinion. The tygr sounds much tighter on my geshelli archel 2.5 amp than on the ifi zen. I like the imaging, soundstage, treble and the soft and delicate sound in general on the tygr. I am using these mainly for gaming. Sometimes i am listening music with these, but i prefer the fidelio, the nighthawk and my closed b&o H6 for music. So, if you don’t like the sound signature of the tygr, maybe you should try the fidelio x2hr ( which is about in the same price range). Other midfocused options could be an sennheiser 600 or 650. The nighthawk has about the same bass quantity with protein pads and a little less bass with microsuede pads than the phoenix. The nighthawk has better bass texture and a little bit more subbass. The phoenix has more mid bass. But due to the recessed vocal presence i would doubt that you would like the nhc, if you prefer very present vocals.

Zeos is not a shill. Been watching ZeosPantera for a few years now and he’s just fun entertainment. True enough He likes a lot of products but the most fun reviews are for the products he hates (looking at you sound blaster). Was in the market for an open back for general use in my living room (movies, gaming, music) and saw this review. These fit on my small head perfect without any metal manipulation. They are a lot smaller than I expected which was really nice for keeping the weight down. My ears touch the drivers. Pads are super comfortable. The imaging and “punch” he talks about is apparent right away. the low end make these things so fun to listen to. I finally understand what a V shaped sound signature really sounds like. 10/10 would recommend. Easy to drive - couldn’t have my iPhone on full without making my ears hurt. Plugged them into my JDS labs El II stack and keep it on 1/4 low gain volume. I enjoy the small light 2,5mm cable too. This makes three “audiophile” headphones in my collection. ATH 1000 , ether c flows , and this. All based on zeos recommendation. Audio technicas did a Dan Clark pad swap like he recommended and I use for daily work audio for meetings in combo with a mod mic- fantastic for voice. Ether c flows I use for competitive shooter gaming like rainbow six. And now I have these Phoenix that bring the fun low end out of casual gaming, movies, and music. Grabbed a pair of the hart audio cables too since they have better than basic build quality and are aesthetically nice. Keep the reviews coming and congrats on growing a successful business.

[@joshhardin666]

I found your channel looking for solid IEMs - per your awesome review, a set of kz zs10 pro's will be arriving tomorrow afternoon for me to check out. (my first multidriver headphone). - these sivga phoenix headphones may be soon to follow. they look fantastic, and if they sound anything close to what you describe, I think i might have to try them out despite how expensive they are compared to what i'm used to (I've been using sony mdr-v6's for the past 10 years or so.) - I really like your stuff though, I certainly subbed. Thank you!

[@thiscorrosion900]

I got the ZS10s, they are great IEMs, but, they are a tad "amped" sounding and the bass can be a bit overpowering. They are very efficient, though, and comfy, and I usually hate IEMs.

[@joshhardin666]

@@thiscorrosion900 I received them today and I think I have a problem with the included.cable. They sound like they are under water. I attached the Bluetooth hd upgrade cable and they sound like I think they were intended to sound. That sound however has a very v shaped sound signature. Big round punchy bass, No low mids, decent high mids, and boosted trebble. Not what I'm looking for at all. I do find them very comfortable though. I thi k I will be returning these sadly. The lack of low mids is just appauling to me and I feel like I'm missing out on a really important part of the mix. I'm looking for something really balanced if not flat. My not.al listening headphones are sony mdr-v6 and I like them quite a bit but I do wish that they'd resolve more sub bass and not distort as much when I crank them. I thought that with the zs10 pro that separating frequency sets into tuned ba drivers might do the trick, and it does a little but, but the overwhelming bass and lack of low mids just ruin it for me.

[@thiscorrosion900]

@@joshhardin666 That sounds like a spot-on assessment of the ZS10s. I like them, but they might benefit from some serious EQ and taming the highs and lows, without a doubt, and I'm a bass fan saying that. I haven't been 100 per cent in love with many headphones: I love my Hifimans for the sheer detail, not for the bass, I love both of my Sony X10 and XB500s for the fantastic bass and overall performance, bu they're wired only, and I love the two Koss lightweights including the PortaPros I've bought. I also love the VModas I got recently, for on the go they're fantastic, and the bass is tight and tasty, but they're very "laid back" sounding, not really super exciting, but they are good phones for sure. I haven't found a pair of phones or IEMs yet that check every box.

[@envo6539]

should I get these or the Audece LCD-1 for mixing? Let me know your opinion thank you!

[@jfleysh]

I also bought these and have been enjoying them tremendously. If you are a obsessed with neutral sounding headphones (which I find boring) then you may not like these. They aren't resolving as some other headphones. But they are FUN and they are great in most categories Z mentioned. If that's what you're looking for then you'll love these.

So im looking at getting a new pair of gaming headphones right now im using the hifiman he4xx and my right ear has gone dead. Should I get another pair of he4xx's ( i like them) the Sivga phoenix, or the Sennheiser HD 6XX. I game a lot and listen to music as well but gaming is the main thing.

[@mastersaito8998]

I bought the Kxxs after watching your review and I regret nothing. However, I found myself wanting to know the next logic step. I was looking at the Mangrid Tea or Thieaudio L5, but I did want a small somewhat noticeable difference and I didnt want to break the bank either. I was considering the Sundara's but this should do just fine.

[@jordohayes]

@Zeos Are you saying that if we have the TYGRs, we don't need to look at these? I get the impression that the Phoenix is a tad better but not different enough in sound to warrant having both. My current z-wall: Stax L300, M1060, FU 9500s, TYGR, and Panda

[@therealchickentender]

Z's not a shill (that I can discern in all this time), *but* I had these for about 3 weeks and returned them. Fit didn't work for me despite the metal gymnastics. Sound was too closed for an open-back (for me), the soundstage too narrow (barely), and there was a sort of sheen to the lower treble in places that bothered me a little at times (but never a lack of detail). They sounded more like IEMs to me in a strange way, the signature similar to Blon Bl-03s. I liked them a lot but not as much as Z and not enough to keep. I do understand why many people would dig their sound though. I think with different (larger) pads they'd open up to a point I'd really enjoy them, but the fit for me was completely *maxed* and larger pads wouldn't be possible. Very close to a winner for me but not quite.

[@exol511]

Do consider Z likes most headphones. I might look to him for the build impression, but as for sound he is a unknown. I can never tell exactly what he is hearing.

I think its a pretty decent dac/amp combo for the time I bought it and how much I paid. My current options are: Monoprice M565/M565C, the new 2020 HE-400i (instead of the 4XX, since I'm buying internationally and shipping might be a problem - someone is bringing them to me, also newer/revised product) and the 58X or 6XX. Can only buy one... Don't know if there are any more decent options at this price. Looking for open back (M565C are only an option if they can be modded to be open, like the M1060C could and supposedly sounded even better).

Any opinion?

[@bgallagrr]

Stick with your 4xx....this is the most ive commented on a video, i have a few posts but i dont like phoenix that much. They do things I haven't heard before but its not enough spectacular and its only on certain tracks. If they were like 150 id say go for it.

[@bfhyanFX]

Dying to choose between this and Sundaras, please any advice?

[@GIChow]

In a nutshell anyone? Not heard them but based on the comments below and on Amazon seems like "A Philips Fidelio X2HR with more natural sound, more bass impact, kinder treble, less soundstage, and less universal fit. Fun sound signature".. Btw congrats Steven (Zeos) on your first headphone and now speaker review in the new place. Wishing you every happiness there. Btw2 from the sound demo they sound fantastic on my very true to life though somewhat unreliable Shuoer Tape.

[@KiraSlith]

Nutshell version: Zeos nuts for 28 minutes but qualifies the review by saying the TYGRs are almost on par (even if they're actually more expensive).

[@GIChow]

@@KiraSlith Thanks, yes I noticed that too :-) and TYGR 300R are 150 euros on the European Beyer site. Anyway I ordered the Phoenix (which Zeos describes as fantastic, 26:15 like $800-$1000 headphones, mentioning $1600 Fostex TH909) and the HD560S that DMS raves about (his new reference and flattest he has heard) but which Joshua Valour is more measured about and will try to do an Amazon review comparing them to see if the hype is real.

[@KiraSlith]

@@GIChow Beyer US wouldn't sell the headset solo, and haven't restocked the set since the coof lockdown started. It's basically unobtanium here at this point.

[@GIChow]

Right, first impressions of Sigva Phoenix v Sennheiser HD560S. Both sound wonderful and have no noteworthy issues with frequency response, clarity, colouration or 3d soundstage/imaging. The Phoenix is slightly easier to drive (1 notch less on my phone for the same volume) and has more impactful bass and a higher level of detail retrieval and naturalness/realism however the soundstage is narrower and more intimate and in your head than one would expect from an open back headphone (which are typically more speaker-like in that sounds appear to come from a distance). The lack of sound leakage and good level of bass impact/slam makes me wonder whether despite the grille they are in fact closed back or perhaps semi-open. Not fully burnt in but they both sound very good already. Any other aspect anyone wants to know about just reply and I will include in my Amazon review in a few days.

However, these are some of the best sounding headphones I've ever owned. Unfortunate.

My best solution so far is to take the pads off (clockwise twist) and put them on upside-down, it's imperfect but sivga is working on a replacement pad

[@BarragePker6]

Bobochocho11 - this is unacceptable for $250. Like such a simple thing. However they sounded superb. I have the X2s and though I prefer the sound signature of the Sivgas I can’t stand the head pressure or pads. Even with Zeos’s trick which normally works for me too sadly. It’s just hard going from the X2’s with so much room and space both physically and acoustically.

If anyone wondering the same thing, i got both and the Sivga is the winner. I'm not an audiophile, but with the X2's the treble especially in the female vocals are spiky and sharp, bass is not as clean and rumbling compared to the sivga. Imaging of the sivga is also better. But the soundstage and the airy-ness of the X2's is really nice, the Sivga is more comparable to a closed can as said, and can confirm. I'll be keeping the x2's because i got them cheap and they look nice and will use them for movie watching xD
