99 Neo

**Sound of the Sivga Anser headphones** If we talk about the sound, I would probably describe what it feels like. Imagine that behind you there are two large stage speakers, very large ones. With powerful bass and a wide soundstage. That is exactly how these headphones sound. With clear channel separation and clear sound separation. You can distinctly hear that the guitar is playing slightly to the right, and the drums a bit to the left. Somewhere closer to you stands the vocalist, and farther away someone is playing maracas. And all of this is not mixed into a mess, but clearly separated. Yet it is so organic that you simply immerse yourself in the music and enjoy this level of detail and volume. And all of this is complemented by a powerful, punchy bass that creates the overall picture of the melody. At the same time, it is hard to say that the headphones sound better or worse in any specific genre. They handle electronic music, rock, and even instrumental compositions equally well. And all of it sounds very rich, balanced, and spacious. Also, the headphones are sensitive to the sound source. On different devices, they sound slightly different to me. I also read other reviews of this model, and from them I got the impression that the sound here is closer to clean, monitor-like tuning. But that is not the case. The headphones are emotional, giving the sound their own unique coloration, which works extremely well. Overall, Sivga once again proved that they know how to make headphones “about emotions.” And that is indeed true. If you compare these headphones to something similar, then probably the closest would be the Meze 99 Neo, but the bass here sounds more voluminous and better. Otherwise, they are very similar and just as enjoyable. **Conclusion** To sum up, I would say that I really fell in love with these headphones. They sound very interesting. Volume, power, detail, soundstage, and balance — all of this is about the Sivga Anser. By the way, I noticed that the headphones need a bit of warm-up. The first 10 minutes, when I was listening to my test tracks, the sound seemed rattly and boomy. But then they opened up and transformed. Of course, I understand that “burn-in” is something audiophile-related, but in this case it really felt that way. Overall, as you’ve probably understood, I liked these headphones. And I can definitely recommend them for purchase. But not for those who just listen to sound, rather for those who love music. Your favorite tracks will sound in new colors with these headphones. But, of course, the sound source should also be good.

Hey, first-time purchasing a better pair of headphones. Looking for something to use primarily at home, for gaming, watching videos, and listening to music. Because of the gaming, I'd prefer clarity of sound, and I want to say that the rest can be done in EQ, but system-wide EQ really sucks in Windows (my experience at least), so I am not sure here. As far as bass goes: I like to hear it, but I don't like it to overwhelm the rest of the sound. If wired, will be connected either to a PC with a Focusrite audio card (like a 2i2) or to a phone with a KA13 DAC. I've done a little bit of research and came up with the following wired options: Meze 99 Neo Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro X AKG K371 Rode NTH-100 (I also considered Audio-Technica ATH-A990Z, but it has a permanently attached cable) I don't exactly know what to expect from either pair and how exactly they are different from each other. The only thing I've seen is that 99 Neo is a bit bassy and that's about it. Are there any other recommendations? The closed back selection is quite limited as far as I can tell. I've also considered the following wireless options: Aiaiai TMA-2 Studio W+ Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro W (I don't need a headset though, but the swapable battery looked interesting) Sennheiser Momentum 4 W As far as what I have used in the past - it's mostly been a combination of subpar gaming headsets (like an older model of Corsair Void) and Sony WH1000XM-something (XM2 I think?) for travel. I wish there was a store to try all of these somewhere around where I live, but unfortunately it's not an option.
