Great cans but I sent them back.

Excellent bank for your money. I bought them 1 year ago for over $300 and ended up sending them back because I couldn't cover the cost. They were also a bit heavy and just didn't fit me. I bought them again for 150 which is a great price compared to the sound they make and ended up sending them back again because firstly my bass orientated Superlux EVO is too close to these in the soundsig. They don't sound that good, but for $40 they're too close. My DT990s sound better in my opinion and areโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Practical matter
Cons
  • So far so good

Some of your audio problems are related to your equalizer

Sound familiar? These are people who don't adjust the equalizer or don't know how to do it. Tune something to fit your ears and you'll maintain its overall sonic signature while solving some of its problems. Are they a little hard and medium? Yes. It's her business. Roll off your highest frequencies (in the range above 20K) and roll off your mids a bit and they sound good. Crank up the bass to shake your head a little and you still won't drown them out, introduce distortion, or mess upโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Outdated

If you have a large canopy like me, you may need to stretch the headband a bit. The quality is excellent, the ear pads are good. They are very comfortable. Compared to the Philips 9500s I have, they're a little less comfortable (those things I could wear on my head day and night with huge, oversized ear pads and a loose band), but they're fine after a bit of use. They feel a lot better when they're aluminum and leather. sound manner; They are very similar with open back design. High frequencies

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Excellent sound quality, cool, comfortable fit for extended wear.

I just bought these to replace a pair of V-MODA headphones which I bought and immediately regretted for a number of reasons. These Philips Fidelio X2/HR feel amazing right out of the box! No pressure on ears or head. For the V-Modas, I needed aftermarket ear pads so I could wear them for more than 10 minutes without much pain. When you're spending that much on a few cans they should feel and sound amazing and these X2s definitely fit the bill! The open back design really OPENS the soundstageโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Lots of things

Best headphones I've ever owned

These headphones (Philips X2HR Fidelio) blew me away. You have exceeded all of my expectations. I've been into headphones for over 15 years and have used a variety of brands and expensive headphones. Sennheiser, AKG, Denon and NAD Viso HP50. X2HR are my favorite headphones. I've never had headphones that I liked immediately, there has always been a 'get used to this sound' with all previous headphones I've had as different headphones have different characteristics, but these X2HRs soundโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Breathable velor pads
Cons
  • Expensive
