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

High Res, extremely comfortable, most balanced sound and the best imaging of any headphones I have ever heard! And they are relatively inexpensive for a performance that is comparable to $600+ headphones. Very happy with my purchase.

Compared these side-by-side with my ATH-M50s which Ive owned for over ten years. The Philips have a better soundstage and more detail and I find they fit much better also- I always found the M50s to be a bit bulky and loose feeling. The Philips definitely have a LOT of bass, more than I was expecting. I swapped them back and forth during the same passages of various styles of music including Megadeth, Vivaldi, Phish, Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Trey Anastasio, Jinjer, Chopin, and Joni Mitchell and the Philips was my preference in every instance. Excellent headphones.

Prima volta che uso un paio di cuffie di sto tipo,volevo godermi il nio impianto e la musica, ho acquistato anche una bella prolunga di 5 metri per poter muovermi in libertà in giro per la casa. Ho avuto in precedenza cuffie wireless, ma mi trovo molto meglio con queste Philips. Che dire, ho letto una simpatica recensione qui, di queste cuffie,e il sunto è che ok ci sono i db e le impedenze, i mega orecchi, e le caratteristiche psicosoniche, ma quando ti metti ste cuffie senti, ascolti musica,subito, nei suoi dettagli udibili . Stop. Vuoi ascoltare musica e perderti nel cosmo, ecco con le fidelio lo puoi fare, io l ho fatto spendendo 99€ nel bleckfriday, coss posso volere di più?

I own beats studio 3, Audio Technica sr50bt, Bower and Wilkins px, Sennheiser hd600 and these. The Sennheisers are also wired open back headphones so they are a direct competitor to the Fidelios. As popular as the hd600s are, to my ears the Fidelios are just so much more enjoyable. And the sound is so spacious (sound stage) you feel like you are surrounded by the music. GAWD I love these. A dac/amp is definitely needed if you want to get the best sound out of these. I use the Topping NX4 DSD with my Samsung galaxy s9. Works perfectly.

How they can sell these things so cheap compared to other similar offerings is beyond me. The sound is clean and clear without a hint of sibilance in the highs, very pleasant mids and bass that is articulate and present but not overpowering. The semi open back architecture gives you the best of both worlds.

Cest du gros - transducteurs de 50 mm obligent, du très bien construit - matériaux de belle qualité et assemblages impeccables, le tout à prix doux : 86 € pour la version X2HR/00 proposée par Amazon.

Rocked a pair of SHP9500s for about two years before deciding to try and find a replacement. Tried M40/50X, HD58X, HD280, DT 990 Pros, and Sony XB 950s and wasnt impressed with any of them enough to replace my SHP9500s as my daily drivers.

I read previous reviews and took a chance. Im into high quality as I own a pair of Sennheiser monitors, one IEM and one over-ear (open back). I felt I needed something with a little more bass and I dont regret my purchase as these did it for me. I cant get enough listening!

So quick caveat on my review. First I moved away from wireless headsets two years ago, as I was fed up with wireless headsets losing connection or skipping during a presentation. Hence I started using my trusted headsets from my sound engineering days. I prefer to use over the ear headsets as I have some hearing impairment (from my former joy and work) and reducing background noise helps immensely. Active Noise cancelling headsets are cool, but, have their own impact when on calls for 8 hours straight. So the over the ear keeps out enough noise and dont feel that hollow effect at the end of the day if I were to use active noise cancelling headsets.

My precious. :)
