Philips Fidelio X2HR (*discontinued)
Ordered a like new pair of X2HR and am just beginning to test them out. (Two albums I've listen to thus far, Diahwalla - Pet Your friends, and Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out, also started listening to Franz Ferdinand -You Could, but wasnt feeling it) Vocals sound amazing, as do piano. I can definitely hear things in these albums I didnt before, with clarity. What I had heard in Dishwalla for instance, I preciously thought it was just the lead singer's echo, but its actually the backup vocalists singing, and I can tell the differences in voices without effort. Ive heard this album a hundred times before, and it's fantastic. Nice to be able to experience more from my favorite albums. In the box is a 10ft 3.5mm TRS cable, a hard plastic cable clip and 1/4 stereo male to 3.5mm trs female headphone adapter, and a manual you dont need. First impressions. They look big, bulky and heavy, not streamlined, and are on the heavy side comparative to the Sennheiser hd6xx and 58x for instance, or many other headphones made in this century lol, but they fit me very well and comfortably. If you dont look in the mirror when wearing them, you wouldnt feel the arch of the headband being somewhat exaggerated. The headband seems well made and stable, as its not flexing but at the cups where you need a little horizontal twist for the cups to fit your head shape. Compared to other headphone bands often made of plastic, I do prefer this steel rod construction. In your home, the look of the X2HR matters none at all. But I think they look great, they stand out from many other designs and have an industrial look. Way cooler in black and gunmetal than others that may be colorful. The outer steel mesh on the cups is a nice touch. I have read that some users have seen some early wear and tear on the painted aluminum swivels, and I might take a dab of wax to them to prevent that. Or not. When I shake my head they do not jostle nor slide forward or back, with a nice clamp force without being too much. The earpads are super plush velour and are not itchy to me, and the memory foam forms a seal over my ear like pillows. My ears do not touch the driver pad. Soundwise, they're wonderfully natural, with excellent bass for my taste; deep, thumpy, clean, not muddy, with good roll off. Are they extra bassy? No, I dont think so. Theyre just right. I will be watching a Rambo marathon with these this July 4th weekend to experience some bang. Sounstage is great, but not quite as wide as I had been led to believe. Will see how they sound in an FPS game. The treble is a little more pronounced, accounting for the fun, V shape of the sound signature, and theres a just touch of sibilance on the high frequency of vocals which could be the recording, and Ive got them cranked up a lot louder than I usually would. I have some MFSL high fidelity CDs to test with these later, such as, Counting Crows - August and Everything After. So far, I am very pleased with how the X2HR sound with 90s alternative rock, and jazz, though the jazz CDs I own do have noticable noise in the recording. Curious how remastered jazz songs in FLAC quality digital recordings might sound, as I havent ventured that route yet. That said, I havent run these through my (Soundavo HD-DAC1) dac and integrated amp yet. I'm running them through a headphone out on my vintage Nakamichi stereo at the moment. The DAC should clean it up some and sound superb. I am really enjoying these headphones straight out of the box without so much as an EQ and think theyre a very nice buy, punching way above what I would expect for entry level hifi headphones. For the value, there seems no finer all-arounder for movies, music and gaming, even though the Sennheiser 58x Jubilee is a touch better in the imaging department, these have wider soundstage I feel and wider frequency range. The hd6xx are more reference quality, and not as fun. I dont think you can go wrong with any of the aforementioned headphones however, and a handful of others that compete in a multi use capacity. I will be pairing the X2HR with the V Moda Boompro mic initially (one cable integrated mic theough the XB1 controller), though to use with the dac/amp with chat I'll need a y splitter and a different mic to the console controller, such as an Antlion Modmic. Being a discontinued model and, from what I hear, no parts available from Philips directly, or not easily, I will be taking great care of the stock pads. It may be that a 3rd party company will make replacement pads that fit the X2HR proprietary tabs eventually, but 3rd party leather covers made to fit over the X2 pads may suffice. Some of my next headphone purchases will likely be the Beyerdynamic dt770 pro (closed back, for quiet situations), and a planar magnetic, perhaps Hifiman Sandara, though their Drop 4xx are the best value. I dont know that I'd buy another dynamic open back headphone in this or any other price range, since I anticipate these will suit me just right.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best headphone
This was my first high end headphones I purchased mainly for video games, music, and movies and these headphones are fantastic. I used to use dolby atmos on my pc to get the surround sound effects of movies but with these headphones connected to a usb c dac I have there is no need for it. The surround sound from watching movies and the bass as well comes out fantastic. Also, when gaming there is a sense of immersion with these headphones. Highly recommend it as an open back headphones if you never own one.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Better than expected. Quality headphones in all respects. No complaints.
Such a nice sound, even without an amp. The impedance is low, so I am able to plug it directly into my smartphone or PC. I was listening to songs last night in FLAC format and the way I was hearing the music really made me feel good. I am impressed when speakers reproduce the sound in a way that affects me like that.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Hearing is believing!
The Fidelio X2HR is as good as people say it is - it sounds great and has a punchy bass compared to the HD 6xx and is comfortable to wear. Totally recommended if you're looking for a great sounding headphone but without jumping to the next tier of pricing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

great detail in looks and sound. good for games too.
I was expecting stronger bass, or maybe I just need a sound card

Very happy with these, sounds amazing and super comfortable. Did a lot of research and these are perfect for me because they have a 3.5mm jack (easy for gaming) and they don’t require an ampVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
