Youtube Video Summary

SIVGA Nightingale takes the planar recipe and makes it weird in the best way. Priced around $279, it hits with a warm, woody tonality and a soft, velvet-like “veil” that doesn’t dull notes so much as wrap them—turning familiar tracks into individually spotlighted instruments. The presentation is huge, euphonic, and intensely emotive; synths shimmer, vinyl crackle pops, and orchestral swells bloom until the music starts to feel heavy on the chest. It isn’t the sharpest scalpel—not the highest detail, biggest stage, or deepest slam—but it does something to the production that makes songs feel like their most heart-tugging versions.

Build and kit are very Sivga: real wood backs, teardrop “egg” shells that fit comfortably, a shielded 2-pin connection, a rugged fabric case, and a balanced 4.4 mm cable that mirrors the brand’s headphone styling. The chrome trim and finish may read a bit blingy, but the ergonomics are on point. It’s also harder to drive than the usual budget planars and scales with power; plug it into a solid amp and that lush, enveloping character really comes alive. If the goal is emotion over microscope, Nightingale delivers a singular, addictive listen—remarkable for those chasing goosebumps rather than graphs.

A Tuning
A+ Tech
LESS-TREBLE UNIT. VERY GENRE SPECIFIC. Listen at HIGH VOLUME with slower tracks (slow rock, ballads, indie, jazz, blues, acoustics, instrumentals etc). TOTL stage (airy+reverb), layering, treble detail, but vocals and sub-bass are rolled-off/pushed back, losing details there otherwise would be at least be S- for tech. Treble can also be too energetic depending on the unit (a lot of them graph with lots of treble - mine doesn't sound that boosted), so in-general NOT RECOMMENDED for libraries with a lot of sub-bass (rolled-off) or energy (too sharp if you get a boosted unit). That aside, gives me OG EJ07 vibes immersion wise. Hard to recommend because unit variations.
Youtube Video Summary

SIVGA Nightingale goes all-in on a spacious, treble-centric presentation: sub-bass is rolled off and vocal gain is flat, pushing lows and mids into the background so the spotlight hits sparkle, air, and stage. Cymbal crashes, flute and sax overtones, and string texture come through with sharper imaging and fast attack/decay, creating one of the widest, most open stages heard in this bracket. Technical performance in resolution, layering, and separation competes up to the $500–$600 range, though vocals and deep-bass texture lag behind the treble fireworks. The timbre feels surprisingly natural for a planar—grounded rather than floaty—yet the mids could use more weight and slam.

This tuning is niche but addictive when the recipe fits: slower, moodier tracks (Indie, piano ballads, soul/Jazz), orchestral and instrumental pieces, or deep-voiced singers benefit from turning the volume up, where details bloom without shredding ears. By contrast, modern hip-hop/EDM, loud rock/metal, and vocal-centric pop expose the rolled-off sub-bass and laid-back vocal presence, and the treble can get hot at high SPL. As an all-rounder around $300, sets like Hype 2/Top or Performer 8 remain safer, while EA1000/T2 feel more engaging and natural for vocals; however, none of those outdo Nightingale’s treble detail, stage, air, and imaging. For treble-heads and adventurous listeners tired of Harman/diffuse-field sameness, this is a distinctive planar with “special sauce” at louder listens—just know exactly what it’s tuned to do.
