SV002

[PROS] -Generous amount of accessories. Two cables and a quality carrying case. -Excellent build. Beautiful hand crafted clear coated wood finish. Clean satin silver finished yolk. -Very wide sound-stage. I can hear sounds from and beyond the headphone -Very accurate imaging. Pin point-able instrumental and vocal tracks. -Clean low end with exceptional bass extension. -Lush mid range that makes vocals sound excellent for a headphone at this price point. -Crisp treble and careful adjustment of the high frequencies that leaves the overall sound pleasantly detailed. [CONS] - The head band could use more padding - The stock ear pads aren't too comfortable. Can be replaced by round 90mm pads. These are by far my favorite closed back from Sivga. I enjoy these even more so than the SV006. The sound is more fun. A very musical headphone indeed.

Music off phone sounds great, plus I use it on the sound board to hear what the mix sounds.

Before purchasing I struggled to find any frequency response graphs of these headphones so I just decided to wing it and buy them. Unfortunately to my ears they're a tad too shouty and vocals seem to lack body to them, bass was on the warmer side and had enough presence to complete the sound. Comfort also wasn't the best, the pads were too small and the tips of my ears would rest against the earcup. The sound might work for others but for me in particular the sound was a flop, I'd say if you're particularly insensitive to the what I'd assume to be a 3-4k spike in the frequency response then they should be alright.

I have Blon-BL03 KZ ZS10 Pro, JVC FW-01, Ikko OH10 and Phillips SHP-9500S. So, I'm not as familiar with headphones Vs IEMs, but these are the worst of them all for sure: Good: Balanced (all the registers are about the same presentation) Comfortable (Almost too large for my head but not quite, they grip well anyway, but I also get fatigued with them quickly overall) Bad: Very muffled. The amount of detail I hear from these is basically Zero. It's like the drivers mix everything together until nothing stands out and everything feels like it's being played just on the other side of a wall. You can't even name what you aren't hearing, but you're definitely missing something. No sound-stage at all. Everything is far away, as I said before, but you can't place any part of the sound separate from the rest. It takes the most away from the feel of songs like If I Get High by Nothing But Thieves or I Still by the Backstreet Boys or We Are by One OK Rock. They would be OK for electronic music, except having no sub bass Poor imaging. Sound is either 50% on the left and right or 100% on one side basically. There isn't anything between. Sterile. And I mean that. The ZS10 Pro are considered very sterile by many and these are worse. The SHP9500S are considered warm and are nothing like these. I definitely don't recommend these. Everything else I have except the JVCs I have are cheaper and better. Do more research and save yourself the disappointment.

I don't know why people like these, the sound is good but they are too heavy for me.
