Philips Fidelio X2

great sounding – Had for over a year use almost every day for long stretches. Great sounding headphones. I'm not an audiophile but have had around 5 good quality headphones and these are the best. Fairly sturdy although the headband did become unglued, reglued with Araldite and now ok. Head phone muffs pick up dust but that's ok.  Show details ·  1

Almost perfect home Hi-Fi headphones (Fidelio X2HR) – Got the Philips Fidelio X2HR headphones 2 weeks ago and wow how good these headphones are! I mean the sound quality is so good and I am using just my laptop to drive it. My other headphones are Bose QC35 and Apple AirPods. The SQ of X2HR is far superior. Comfort wise these are also VERY comfortable. Believe the hype! The X2HR sounds amazing! I… Read more ·  1

also had Sennheiser Momentum 2 over-ear, Sennheiser HD598, and ATH M50. X2HR beats them all in SQ. I only use the X2HR now at home. Only thing that is not perfect is the slightly heavy weight and long cord but again these are not marketed for outdoor use. If you are considering a pair of in home use hi fi headphones I highly highly recommend the X2HR!

Great headphones – I did a fair bit of reasearch before buying these headphones and after they arrived I was not dissapointed. They are very good headphones, clear and well rounded sound. The only negatives would be that to get the best of the X2's you need to use an amp. Running off mobile phone, or PC MOBO does not get the best from these headphones.  Show details ·  1

Very very comfortable headphones – These headphones are extremely comfortable and designed for long periods of use. The padding is very well cushioned and the contraption that fits over the top of your head is adjustable to suit all sizes of head. The sound quality is excellent, good base and well rounded treble. The cable they provide you is a tad long and inconvenient (you're… Read more ·  1

most likely not going to take these out on public transport, much better suited for indoor listening). The open ear design means the audio leaks out a bit, which is something to be wary of if you're taking these out (no detriment to your listening experience however ). Would recommend

Great Sounding Headphones – I love these headphones. They are comfortable to wear, they sound great and the cord is detachable. The original cord was quite long so I bought the V-MODA BoomPro Gaming Cord and now can use it to game/chat as well as listen to music. This attachment has a mic. The sound stage is awesome. However as these are open headphones, others can hear… Read more ·  1

what I am listening too. This is of no concern to me.

The build quality is awesome.

Clear, fun sound but slightly uncomfortable – Very clear sound - I can hear much more detail especially with regards to percussion and instrumentation. Slightly bassy but not overpowering and makes music more fun and vibrant. Comfortable if wearing for a short time e.g. 1 hour but gets quite uncomfortable over long periods due to strong clamping force on head. Overall a good pair of… Read more ·  1

headphones which I would recommend for the majority of people.

Please note - I haven't been able to compare to other headphones e.g. Sennheiser HD598.
