Boy, if you love vocals up close and personal these headphones are for you! If you love highly dynamic headphones these headphones are for you. If you love the HD650, you're REALLY going to love these headphones. These are an HD650 without any weaknesses. The bass is so authoritative and muscular when needed. The vocals and strings are "you are there real"...like in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd row (CENTER) of a live venue. The sound stage is wide but the vocals are up close to the listener. Snare drums raps are right there with you. I paid $404 at HiFiGo and it's worth every freaking penny and an insane value. I've got 250hrs of break-in and they need all of this before they sound their best--so that is a bummer but there are rewards for those that are patient. I love these with vocals, jazz, instrumentals, strings, and live music the best, but they excel at everything. Please listen to the reviews above.

Thanks for the info! Sivga is a nice brand that produces good quality stuff. I liked their first PII headphones as well as smaller Robins. Hearing that these P2 Pro sound like HD650 on steroids is a nice thing too

Sivga p2 pro First impressions

Build quality and comfort:
The build quality is excellent.
Nice red oak wood cups
The silver grille and outside is beautiful.
The earpads are very soft and comfortable.
It's on the lighter side for planar full size headphones and the headband does a good job of distribution of weight.
Clamp force is a little snug but not too bad at all.

Sound:
Bass:
The bass is very authoritative and meaty goes very low without any rolll off. However it's not pillowy or muddy or bloated. It's very good quality and very good quantity at the same time.
Transients are very good and no bleed into the mids at all .
Mids:
very smooth mids if even say very linear and lush. The vocals are a bit pushed forward but not to bad at all.. id say the mids are extremely good and detailed without being clinical. The same thing transients are very good.
Treble:
Very clear and detailed without being fatiguing. Slightly rolled of up at the high end but it doesn't sacrifice any detail or anything. The treble is definitely on the warmer side as well as the rest of the frequency response.

Listening notes:

Breathe by A Little Sound
Vocals are forward and very clear
Her voice really rings through nicely.
The bass drum has a very nice kick.
The sub rolls punch very low and strong.

Levitate by Sonny Fodera
The kick drum drives this song and it's so meaty and crisp. The piano comes in a little bit forward almost like you're right in the front row. Sounds amazing on these.

Change your mind by Ferreck Dawn and Milean
Again the kick drum sounds perfect.
The vocals really come through very clear and detailed. The piano sounds almost like you're there. There is a really nice reverb effect on the vocals you normally wouldn't hear in other HPs.

Weather the storm by Dexcell and Charlotte Haining
Again the forward vocal presence is very evident here. The drums are very fast and snappy with a ton of impact. You can hear all the nuances of the track really well.

Embers by In:Most
The bass is just absolutely wicked on this tune it's visceral and the rumble can be felt in your bones. The vocals still cut through and are extremely clear and detailed.
This will likely be a theme with these headphones.

Got me feeling by Soulbridge
You might notice a common theme here but again the bass kick is absolutely phenomenal. The vocals again are very clear and detailed and lush. So much emotion. Love this tune on these headphones.

H.A.A.R.P by Ill-esha and Dewey
Again the bass kick and sub rolls are phenomenal.
The synth and other parts blend very nicely and you can hear all the little glitches etc. extremely detailed on this track without being clinical at all

Goes to show you everyones ears hear things a little different this review is great but very different than what I hear... Hence why fr graphs are kinda meh

Of course your signal chain plays a big part also.

Based on your review the three you listed all have a smaller intimate soundstage... Plus are relatively bright sounding minus the k11 r2r that is almost dead neutral from my listening.

Yes, this is true, we all hear different. However I don't agree that the Aune and iBasso are bright and the K11 R2R is certainly not neutral! And the DX180 is very open sounding and not intimate at all. I have also used many other devices during the listening evaluation, like the Hifiman Serenade and the FiiO M23.

T Thanks for reading and enjoy the P2 Pro.

Welp on my setup which is denafrips ares 15th dac and cayin iha6 amp it's extremely open and warm... Not bright at all ( for reference grado, Beyer dynamic hifiman hps, topping smsl DACs are bright imo) the k11 r2r DAC sounds pretty neutral maybe a tad warm but not really compared to the serenade or ef499 ... It even measures pretty close to neutral but anyway.... Really nice review. I love the p2 pro personally speaking it's a very nice set of HPs ( I have about 30 pairs )

Nice set-up you have. I have reviewed the original Ares II and I liked it a lot.

I don't recall writing that the headphone is bright. I wrote that the treble is smooth and not fatiguing. The upper mid-range is definitely emphasized though and has nothing to do with the treble. Some people (and you I guess?) don't feel any annoyance from such kind of emphasis and don't mind. Some others will perceive the upper mids as hotter than they might have liked. I also wrote that is very open and spacious so it seems that we agree after all

Regarding frequency measurements, all the devices you mentioned measure as dead flat when it comes to the frequency response. Second order (and other) harmonics are what makes them sound slightly different. i.e warmer or brighter etc.
