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

Amazing headphone, very clear sound, amazing bass, this beat all the gaming headset out of the water. Listening to Hotel California full cover 1994 moved me to tear.

Soy poseedor de varios auriculares (hd600, k701, b&w p7) y me han sorprendido, la verdad.

These headphones are seariously pretty good. The sound is pretty good, build quality on hand feels better than the pictures of the product, and the aux cable is a good size for listening at home.

Love it was iffy on them but extremely happy with them, I gave it a one on noise cancelation because it had none and shouldnt they are open back headphones.

This was once a trusted, competent brand but after this experience, I will never buy Philips again. Headphones broke a few months after purchase. Have contacted Philips support multiple times but keep getting passed off to other departments and promised that my case is being reviewed but the whole system appears to just give you the runaround as nothing has ever come of it. Extremely frustrating experience

Im no audiophile so dont know the right words to describe the listening experience. Although these are 32 ohm and should be easy to drive, I am using with a Micca Origen G2 and an Objective2 Headphone amp (O2 headphone amp from JDS Labs). The sound is absolutely amazing. I have 3 other pair of lower end headphones and these are the ones I keep using for the sound and comfort alone. The only other headphones I own, but prefer are the Beyerdynamic DT990 pro. But at 250 ohms, they are much harder to drive. The DT990s are used in another room with a Darkvoice 336se Tube Amp.

I’ve had these for a little over 24 hours now so this is an early review. If anything substantial changes I’ll come back and add more.

Originally I felt a bit snobbish and wasnt going to buy Phillips headphones. I was looking at Grado, Senheiser and so on. Phillips is not what I consider an audiophile brand. The reviews won me over though. So I took what thought was a bit of a punt.

The left channel is broken, ugh

In 30 anni dascolto in alta fedeltà provando molte cuffie questa é stata la prima a sbalordirmi a primo impatto. Akg, Sennheiser ecc. ognuna peccavano in una porzione di banda...queste Fidelio sono incredibilmente bilanciate, analitiche ma allo stesso tempo riescono a suonar bene su tutti i generi. Bassi potenti e controllati, medi presenti ed alti dettagliati. Grazie alla loro bassa impedenza riescono ad esser pilotate egregiamente anche da dispositivi quali smartphone ma ovviamente danno il meglio di se con player in alta fedeltà. Personalmente le adoro abbinate al mio Cowon D2 con tracce flac senza lutilizzo di ampli o dac. I materiali sono eccelsi come la fattura. Straordinariamente comode. Partono già subito con un soundstage importante per aprirsi ancor più solo dopo poche ore di burning. Sennheiser HD 600, HD599 sono giocattoli a confronto.
