Sviga is ... such a weird company to me. They basically took a bunch of off-the-shelf alibaba/ specials; rebranded them a bit -maybe even did some actual QC on them- and somehow, turned that into a thriving, and expanding, audio company that is actually - quite good. I started off with their SV007's and really, really liked them at $90; and the SV006, despite being a weird block shape - where a good treble emphasised headphone (not that I like them, but my dad did.) Now, I Haven't really gotten much further into their product stack than that (and that was years ago.) but it seems like they are ... somewhat committed to being a good decent-grade audio company. I would put them below Sennheiser most of the time (except at the $100 price point where they killed it with the SV007.) Also, I like wood. But they still have a company name that sounds like a venereal disease...

Hmm, based on what you said about the Oriole's sound signature, I presume that it will sound similar to the MS2 earphones. Would I be right in expecting such a sound? I quite like the sound of the MS2 and I might be interested in the Oriole if it sound similar.

on my way to buy a pair of closed back cans for commuting and office listening. so, don't know which ones to buy: Oriole or DT 700 Pro X. In the Netherlands the price for both are the same: 250 euros. Which one would you advice? my preferences in music is mostly classic rock (pink floyd, scorpions, rush), some metal (iron maiden, tool), jazz, classic, hans zimmer/djawadi, etc.
@NoThemeReviews Жыл бұрын
Any headphone is theoretically capable of presenting pleasant sound signature for your music. The Oriole is a very good headphone in its own right, but my personal preference would be for the 700 Pro for general use. I think its bass response is a bit more fun, while not accentuating treble.

Frequency response measurements should be left to those who have accurate measurement rigs. Those cost a lot of money. And to do a proper measurement, you have to devote a lot of time and care. I have no desire to spend several thousand dollars on a measurement rig, particularly since I do not earn enough money from my channel to justify that cost. Reach out to the handful of audiophiles who specialize in measuring.

Thx in advance for any recommendations. Regards 😊 Oh, and by-the-by, bang for the buck, they ARE a great sounding set of headphones for the price point and definitely provide great audio performance matching some higher priced headphones.
