What reviewers said
Audeze Maxwell 2
No summary yet - we haven't aggregated enough reviews.
Sivga P2 Pro
The Sivga P2 Pro is a wired, open-back planar headphone with a hybrid driver setup and a 97mm planar magnetic core, delivering a refined, neutral sound with tight bass and clear vocals. Its build uses real wood and metal for a premium feel, while the 435g weight is well-distributed for comfort. It requires a decent amplifier due to its power needs, but rewards with strong dynamics and detail retrieval.
- Pro:Detailed and transparent sound with good soundstage
- Pro:Premium build with genuine wood construction
- Pro:Comfortable fit despite the weight
- Con:Relatively heavy at 435g
- Con:Light mid-bass presence
- Con:Treble can be limited at times
