This has my full attention! I heard the original was a bit bassy and warm... a version like this with improved driver/better treble sounds like a real winner! I can get it from HiFiGo on AE for under $75 right now. Wow the choices!Sivga Que UTG - is a completely different level of sound!
Hello, friends! Today is the third day I've been listening to my new Sivga Que UTG headphones, and I can say right away that I'm very surprised.
To be honest, I didn't expect to get such sound from a dynamic driver with a new Flat Ultra Thin Glass Diaphragm, and it literally changes the rules of the game!
They sound completely different from the original Que, and the first thing I noticed was a completely different, more transparent, airy sound with phenomenally fast transitions. And the overall dynamics are now just crazy, the bass is lightning fast, precise and punchy, and the midrange has become more lively, energetic and at the same time clear, detailed and even, to some extent, more musical and correct.
The bass in Sivga Que UTG is a real treat.
It is fast, elastic, focused, without a hint of rumble or blurriness.Each beat is clear and physically palpable, with a fairly powerful punch and perfect control.
It doesn't dominate like in bass-heavy headphones, but when its moment comes, it bursts in with predatory precision, without upsetting the balance of the other frequencies.
This is exactly the kind of bass that doesn't try to “capture” all your attention, as it works for the music, supporting the right rhythm and overall atmosphere, adding mass, weight, and drive where needed.It really shines in genres with live instruments, and of course with electronic music and hip-hop, where the kick drum doesn't blend in with the bass line, and you can clearly distinguish every detail and structure.
But the main thing is that it has intelligence and musicality. It's not just bass, but a complete and mature foundation of sound that you can feel but never overwhelms.
The midrange frequencies in the Sivga Que UTG are a direct emotional connection to the music.
They have become more emotional, rich, and expressive, with lively, clear articulation and natural dynamics.
Voices sound voluminous and intimate, as if the performer is standing at arm's length, every breath, lip movement, and vibration of the vocal cords can be heard, everything is conveyed with striking accuracy and realism.The microdetails have become deeper, the textures richer, and the overall feeling is as if you are now in the same room with the musician.And most importantly, the instruments. Guitars, pianos, and violins sound physical, rich, and truly alive.
You feel the touch of the wood, the tension of the strings, the vibrations of the body, as if the music is not just sounding, it is breathing, resonating, and living in front of you.
This is exactly the case when music captivates not only technically, but also emotionally, giving you goosebumps.
The high frequencies in the Sivga Que UTG are a breath of fresh air.
They have become more transparent, bright, and airy, noticeably cleaner and more refined compared to the original Que.
Technicality and analyticality have reached a new level, now even the smallest nuances, such as rustles, reverberations, cymbals, and reverberations, are conveyed naturally, effortlessly, but with vivid expressiveness and crystal-clear detail.At the same time, the sound remains light, free, and unrestrained, with a wonderful sense of air between the instruments and a feeling of an open stage above and beyond.
Of course, it should be noted that this presentation now makes the headphones more demanding in terms of recording quality, but if the track is really well mixed, the experience will be nothing short of “wow.”
The soundstage in Sivga Que UTG is now truly spacious.
Compared to conventional Que, it has become noticeably wider, deeper, and most importantly, more voluminous, and is now perceived not just as a panorama, but as a full-fledged acoustic space with air and perspective.
And you hear not only “left-right,” but also forward, deep, and upward, creating a pleasant sensation as if you are inside a concert hall, rather than simply listening to music.
The instruments are arranged with precision, each occupying its own place on the stage, without overlapping others or getting lost in the background.
The sound is not flat, but three-dimensional, alive and breathing, with superb localization and excellent separation.
As a result, you are not just listening to the composition, but feel as if you are inside it.
Sivga Que UTG - is not just an update, it's a whole new level of sound!
The new UTG diaphragm radically changes everything we know about the sound of dynamic models. It provides exquisite transparency, instantaneous transients, precise, controlled bass with excellent impact, emotional, rich midrange, and airy, detailed, and spacious high frequencies.
The soundstage is spacious, multi-layered, and well-positioned, creating the feeling of a real live performance right in front of you.
In my opinion, the Que UTG is not just “another version” but a serious leap forward in quality, and if you think you already know how the Sivga Que sounds, trust me, you're in for a big surprise.
This... didn't help me at all HAHA. It sounds like I would still really like Neo. But maybe that wouldn't be the best if the sound is thinner than the SP01. Maybe the Que UTG would be a better choice [but well over double the price...] the SP01 has pretty amazing bass...
It's a good treble-head set, but it's a more clinical treble, not too musical. It has great stage, and yea, lovely shells. The ISN copper cable that came with the H20 is a GREAT sonic match, as well as an almost perfect color match. And in that setup, from the DC-Elite, it actually has some midbass so... I'm not put off by its more neutral tuning. The SP01, in any nozzle filter, is a little richer in the sound, but the vocals seem a bit dryer on the SP01 which is surprising. Weirdly, the YXJ is harder to drive than the SP01 though...
but really, the YXJ can't really compete with the SP01... the latter just has stunning bass and clear detailed treble. I just think the vocals should be lusher rather than clinical.
did a SHORT A-B test here... SP01's bass is still more impactful. I mean Shell has good bass, but the SP01 is on another level, especially in sub-bass. surprisingly, I THINK the treble on the SP01 is even more detailed than the Shell as well. Or at least it's tuned differently in a way that is nice to details.
The Shell seems a bit thinner in sound... but honestly, both sound good. I just suspect the SP01 is even better than the Shell for dynamic sound. Both have rather dry vocals though.
Also popped in the H60 for a brief comparo with the SP01... Firstly, wow the H60's bass is so punchy! Better than I had remembered. Mids are fuller and richer than the SP01. sub-bass is still deeper and more impactful on the SP01. [but yea... the mids/vocals are so much clearer in a dry sense.] I had tried the Warm nozzle on the SP01 but it made them sound... a tad muted [instead of lush like the H60.]
Having been so impressed with the H60 again, I pulled out the HS80 [that I likely infamously rated higher than the H60!!]
HS80... WOW it has clear, STAGEY, magic treble. Bass is certainly good, but not really the focus of the SHOW the Jupiter Rings puts on. It can get your head bopping though, for sure. Sub-bass is gut-wrenching like the SP01's [but they are NOT basshead sets. This is about clarity into the darkest DEPTHS.] Mid-bass, however, is better and punchier on the H60. So, musical mids and midbass are the H60's specialty, but the HS80 is about stage magic and holography [even more than the H60!], treble excellence, and CLEAN bass, especially sub.
BUT fans of the H60 will say, but the H60 DOES have amazing treble detail and stage! And you'd be RIGHT. The HS80 just does it differently, and I LIKE it... So, what I said before still stands... H60 is a better all-rounder, but HS80 has some real magic that can be addicting even though it's not always the most natural presentation. If you like richer upper mids, the H60 will certainly be better for you. But if treble TRANSPARENCY is your thing, the HS80 might be better.
Sidenote: if you have pain issues with the H60, try Whizzer SS20 tips. Almost no other tip works for me, but the SS20 really makes the H60 useable for longer sessions. for me.
SAME!
H60 is always an amazing listen... Doesn't get to 10/10 in all songs or genres, but there's no denying there's some real magic going on here.
