los sigo recomendando a mis amistades.- eran muy caros cuando salieron. despues los vi en ofertas y los compré. son de mis favoritos

I live in Malaysia and buying headphones at this price is insane for most. I took a long time to decide which headphones to get. I have owned them for 3 months and am absolutely blown away by the X2s. I primarily pair this with my Fiio X1 2nd Gen and sometimes my computer with on board audio. From what I can hear, the X2s sound great even with MP3 files but playimg a 24 bit Bohemian Rhapsody totally blew my mind with the dynamic sound. The X2s have really tight and clear bass which made pop, rock or contemporary music sound active, fast, juicy and punchy without losing detail. The high and mids are also really well handled. The highs certainly loses to Sennheiser HD600s when it comes to detail but not too far back to the point of obscurity. The highs are also a tad harsh but its unoticeable with most pop or rock tracks but does get through with classical or instrumental music. The mids are slightly recessed which gives the X2s a slight V-shape sound. However the mids still have an amazing presence which sounded amazing with tracks such as Lazarus by David Bowie and Some Nights by Fun. The soundstage on the X2s are huge for a headphone at this price range. I have tried the HD600, HE400S and even HD800 and found that the X2s were better than the HD600 and HE400S but loses to HD800 which is forgivable since the HD800 is 3 times the price of the X2s.Overall, these headphones are amazing for what it does especially at the price range. Some might not like the sound signature of the X2s but for some people, like myself, they are absolutely amazing with the natural sound and unbelievable bass. So far, I am loving these headphones and have no complains. Certainly some things can be improved such as the unnecessarily long cable (3.0m) which is a huge pain yo deal with. Also the Gibson and Woox made Fidelio X2s are also different (at least according to other reviewers). The main difference is one has glued earpads and one don't. I have the glues on ones but its isnt an issue since removing the pads even with the glue isnt that hard and once done, the earpads become much easier to remove in the future. In conclusion, these headphones are unbeatable for the price and anyone looking at these should really consider getting them. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

These are without doubt the best headphones I have ever purchased and in probability one of the finest headphones on the planet. With low impedance they are easily driven from phone, tablet or notebook WITHOUT an amp and still provide gorgeous rich high resolution sound as good as my far more expensive stereo! Remarkable. Of course you can still plug them into an amp with great results. Their design is simplistic an engineered work of genius with no internal batteries or electronics that will fail. The sound is absolutely awesome, clear and strong and all the way to maximum volume. It feels like you are sitting right next to your favourite artist, orchestra, Latin dance band, punk band, etc. You could hear a pin drop listening to folk music, and find yourself just drifting away. It is so good it puts tears in your eyes -- why has it taken me 50+ years to find these, why did no-one tell me about them, how could so-called professional reviewers ever in any seriousness recommend anything else than this sweet music? Hard rock like AC/DC is vibrant head banging intense and bassy: as it should be. The headphones are luxurious and comfortable to wear. In the first few days I wore them 10 hours per day and hardly noticed them except for the heavenly sound. Extremely well built. Anyone. I repeat anyone, who claims there is something wrong with these headphones (due to change of manufacturer, etc.) is either a loser or winger or works for a competitor who cannot achieve excellence at an incredible price. In my opinion Philips engineering team all need a massive bonus for bringing an instrument of this quality to mankind. I am certain the almighty has a pair. On the other hand, Philips marketing team ought to be sacked. That is right, sacked. Everyone should have the opportunity to buy these in a store near you and try them on. I had to buy them on-line after an extensive review suggested I should risk this purchase. Absolutely no regrets. Try as much as you like, I will not take these off my head.

The Fidelio X2 is simply amazing. The build quality is superb, with a lot of metal and quality plastics. Braided cable is awesome and is 3.5mm stereo. Comfort is great with the velour memory foam pads (were removable with no glue). Sound quality is fantastic.

I've owned these headphones for 3 months now and I'm very pleased with them. To me they have a very warm sound, I use mine with an oppo ha-2 DAC but they also sound great directly from my iPhone 6 or iPod classic with both devices able to drive the headphones plenty loud enough! I find the bass response from these headphones to be sublime, I listen to rock music mostly and never find these headphones fatiguing, the open backed design giving a wider soundstage than my other closed back headphones. The downside to that being that these headphones are large and I wouldn't wear them out of the house, they also leak sound but not excessively, they are really meant for home use! I really feel that these headphones are built to last, being constructed with premium materials, they have a quality feel. It would have been good if they came with a hard case to keep them dust free whilst stored or even a bag but that's just something you can add yourself, the design and sound are what counts and in that regard they are superb!!

This product cannot be beaten for comfort and for the sound quality

All sound are very natural and clear. I can enjoy Music itself! Also Very good price! Highly recommended.

Great Full bodied sound with great sound stage .Fantastic audio detail and separation . Very comfortable great for long listening periods .Great quality very robust and well made great attention to detail .Feel heavy off head due to build quality but the built in self adjusting band eliminates any pressure/weight on head whilst in use .Bought these after I purchased and was very pleased with the Philips M1MK11BK for portable use I thought these had to be good and I was right they are like the latter big brother all grown up ! Extremely pleased .

Previously I've been using Sennheiser HD598s, for over 7 years, but I decided to finally invest in higher end headphones. After researching different models I finally decided on these and I'm beyond happy I did! Sound is crisp & clear and highs, mids & lows all sound tight pristine. My only complaint with them would be the excessively long cable that comes with them. I understand some may use them in a studio and need a long cord, but it sure would be nice if Phillips would package a shorter cable too. Wouldn't cost them much and I'm sure lots of people would appreciate it.
