Well balanced sonics.

Very comfortable with clear, balanced sound

Sound is well-balanced with a wide soundstage.

However, for direct plugin to portable DSD players, Ipads or even w/ solid state portable headphone amps, this one is unbeatable with its well balanced sounds, especially after cable modification

This is a great balance that Philips has achieved.

The aound is very balanced and crystal clear with perfect bass!!

I can hear just about every instrument with clarity and vocals that I haven't been able to hear clearly with normal headphones, with low frequencies that were thumping but not overwhelming; just overall great balance

Everything is pretty balance and its very easy on the ears

Overall,the sound is more balanced and refined,without losing the unique combination of a neutral open soundstage that open back headphones provide,with the thumping bass response of closed back headphones that made the original X1's great

They are just well balanced IMHO to create a very pleasing sound

I have listened to plenty of incredible headphones and speakers in my life, but I have never before heard such perfect, beautiful, balanced sound as these headphones produce

Nice balance throughout the entire range of musicThe head phones were bigger than I was expecting, but feel fairly light to wear

Wonderful balanced full-bodied sound signature.

I described these before as having a "backslash-shaped" sound signature, while the HD600 is relatively-even in it's frequency response, delivering a very balanced amount of bass, mids, and highs, where none of the categories really outshine the others

, tight [ bit basshead-like ] midrange: well balanced neutral tone

They provide such a remarkable balance between all frequencies, a friendly overlap, whereby the mids are not squashed or "V" shaped, yet the low mids are not reduced

This headphone is very well-balanced, recreating lows, highs and mids with sharp detail, yet still sounding warm

so I'll update if anything changes).These X2 have a very nice balance sound from top to

Beautiful build quality and aesthetics, with a beautiful tonal balance and sharp tight base

Very well balanced like all the reviews say.

I changed the earcup pads to the XL memory foam size and it was better, but not as good as for example the Sony or KEF in comfort level.

Leather covering the headband is a bit more shiny and the Philips Fidelio is embossed a bit deeper on the first unit but not applied as well as on the second unit.5

(i.e. voices sounded nothing like a real life person in front of you, no way you could be confused as to whether a person was singing in front of you), and it was just unpleasant to my ears, period.3

Besides the ones I’ve owned, I have also auditioned their predecessor, the Fidelio X1’s, as well as the

With my humble FiiO E11K or C&C BH amps and my iPod Classic, the X2s are simply as much as I could want in a headphone
