Philips Fidelio X2HR Over-Ear Open-Air Headphone 50mm Drivers- Black

The pair sound great and have some the best soundstage at this price but it's plagued with the same issue as the SHP9500s, which if you're coming from then you might definitely be disappointed since the highs are just as piercing on this as the SHPs, very harsh and metallic sounding and almost hollow highs, but it does have stronger bass emphasis and a better build quality, but if you didn't like the harshness on the SHPs then I would say definitely don't get this.

Headphone incrível, vale bastante a pena pela valor cobrado, e se levar em conta o valor promocional, é uma barganha. Graves bem presentes e extensos, médios arejados e bem colocados, no ponto certo, agudos com a medida certa de brilho, que trazem muito detalhamento e cor ao tuning. O palco sonoro é gigante, e também impressiona nas camadas e detalhamento. É muito fácil de amplificar. Só recomendo um upgrade de cabo.

I really like these headphones. I used to use Audio Technica m40x's and these beat them by a long shot. That being said these come with the disadvantage of portability. They are huge, they don't fold, and are kinda heavy. They are comfortable, they fit very nicely with the suspension headband and they do kind of "disappear" if placed correctly. The headband has to go on the very back almost at the incline of the head. Now, for sound, I think that for this price range of $100-$800, you won't find a better bass response in headphones. While it can be a little much at very rare occasions, and I mean very rare, it is flawless 95% of the time. It is rich, impactful, and not muddy. It is very clear and you can hear the articulation and complexities in the lower register. I personally really enjoy all genres on these headphones but I would argue that its weakest genres are rock and metal, and that is because of the bass blended with the distortion, for the rock/metal sound you kinda want a recessed bass response. This is because it is hard to get a rich tone out of music that doesn't have it. This is more so for metal because of the use of extended range guitar and heavily distorted bass. The main response of the low range changes, therefore the music needs a different sort of headphones. Now with all that, these headphones will be enjoyable to listen to, but like I said metal is a small weakness, all be it a small one, they are not unlistenable, they just sound a little bit bloated. I would recommend eq if your primary listening is metal. Rock is only an issue for some minor tracks, not everyone will be affected. Classical is enjoyable, but it won't be as rich as peakier, the high end of the sound spectrum focused headphones. ex shp9500, 6xx. Also, these can be bought for cheaper elsewhere, tho, they are still worth it, even at this price.

J'ai reçu ce casque il y a quelques semaines et je suis bluffé par sa performance. Dès la première utilisation, le son m'a impressionné : les basses sont puissantes sans être envahissantes, les médiums sont chauds et naturels, et les aigus restent clairs sans fatiguer les oreilles. J'écoute beaucoup de musique variée, du rock au classique, et la spatialisation donne vraiment l'impression d'être en live – parfait pour se plonger dans un album entier. Le confort est au top avec les coussinets moelleux qui s'adaptent bien à la tête, même après des heures. Je l'utilise branché sur mon PC ou mon ampli, et il répond super bien sans besoin d'accessoires supplémentaires. Seul petit bémol, comme c'est un modèle ouvert, il laisse passer un peu les bruits extérieurs, donc idéal à la maison plutôt qu'en extérieur. Globalement, un achat que je recommande les yeux fermés pour quiconque cherche une qualité audiophile sans complications !

Been reading all these great reviews for the fidelio x2 for years now and finally, it went on sale and is in stock. Bass is one of the best among open backs. Soundstage is huge. The detail is crisp. And this is built like a tank. This might be the headphones for all the ragers out there. It's all metal, hardly any plastic if any. Comfort is not an issue either with those gigantic earpads. For under $100, these are a no brainer. Get these. Edit: Pads are removable. Local sg warranty for one year covered by R-Logic International Pte. Ltd

The X2HR headphones have an amazing sound, and with just a little EQ manipulation, place them miles above their price range should hit. There's no included microphone or volume control, your device (or middleman boxes) will have to handle that. The wire is a simple, reasonably long 3.5-3.5mm, easily replaceable if it breaks or doesn't fit your requirements, and the fabric portion of the overhead strap rests very comfortably on my head, making me almost forget I'm wearing them often.
