Here's what Beats by Dre president says about the headphones that DJ uses (according to commercial)
People legitimately think beats and bose are high end sound. I admit they are sound, but high end is high fidelity, and bose /beats barely have any fidelity to source.- NinjaQuick

The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread
Biggest issue I have with my 7xx is the peakyness at like 2khz. It is tiring. Sound is the same from my modded ST vs. OnePlus One vs. PC out at my workstation in the office. Then again, I don't listen loud, prolly 80-90db. Enough good power to listen in flight though (tested oneplusone, used...- NinjaQuick

[New] Philips Fidelio X1
Sad day, my X1s took a spill, and hit the ground gently, but hard enough, to break one of the plastic pins that hold the left ear cup in place. Going to be talking to support to see about warranty and will keep you all updated. That said: These pins are likely the weakest part of the...- NinjaQuick

Philips Fidelio X2 : A Review by Baycode
Also, I am impressed by how the X2 managed to be different to the X1 without devaluing either option. Can't wait for when my 7XX arrive to do a comparison. Sort of my holy trinity at the moment.- NinjaQuick

Philips Fidelio X2 : A Review by Baycode
I read your contributions, and to put this to rest: You were giving strong impressions of the L2 being superior, even if you constantly said it was your personal opinion, by reiterating you were establishing a theme which was pushy and caustic. The L2 are darker than the X2, they have...- NinjaQuick

Philips Fidelio X2?!
heh, just saw someone here wants the X2 on Massdrop. Voted as well. I'm waiting for the 7XX, but wouldn't mind having the X-siblings at my desk as well.- NinjaQuick

Philips Fidelio X2 : A Review by Baycode
I'd say the M50s are pretty much the most over hyped underperformers this side of 125 dollars. They are not comfortable, they are not clear, they are not fast... I really do not understand the attention they get. The K612 are in the same rough price range, and are better. The AD700s...- NinjaQuick

[New] Philips Fidelio X1
Anything that won't add warmth to the signature is a good bet. The X1s do not need a tube amp or overly warm solid states. They are warm enough as is.- NinjaQuick

Philips Fidelio X2 : A Review by Baycode
While everyone might have different concerns about this, I will say this: I have worked on the production/delivery/stocking side of products in the past. Planning shipments, deliveries and stocking is highly dependent on customer (retailer) wants and needs. We might make...- NinjaQuick

Well, depending on what timeframe it turns out to come in, the X2 are already available in some markets, so far the most obvious change is the removable pads (probably replaceable if Philips sells them, otherwise at least it would make it easier to refurbish the pads).- NinjaQuick

[New] Philips Fidelio X1
I just wanted to say: I am listening to the Kill la Kill OST, because I have it. At work, laptop sound chip at the wheel, and my god, I am glad I bought these headphones. Low volume (because office and sound leakage = personal stuff in box out front door). That is all.- NinjaQuick

Philips Fidelio X2 : A Review by Baycode
I would be surprised if they didn't sell replacement pads, that would be gutting themselves for at least 25 (assuming 40 is per pair) per unit sold. Basically, a 60-70% replacement buy-up rate, plus it allows them to possibly expand the replacement line with optional colors or fabrics to further...- NinjaQuick

They are most assuredly leather. Heavily dyed though, hence the sensation of fake.- NinjaQuick
