Hello, just a quick thread with a quick question. Brothers looking for a new pair of gaming headphones. I'm more or less set on just telling him to get the Fidelio X2HR, since I bought myself a pair of X2 about a year ago and they're great. Only thing is I run them on an external sound card on...

Woke up to these ink spots on my wooden table few days ago after letting the headphones rest on it all night (not intentional, just randomly placed when I went to bed). Also just tried letting them rest on a piece of white paper for about half an hour which also left ink spots. So, be aware. :)

Hinges on my Live! 2 broke after 2 years. I've bought many Creative "gaming headsets" in my teen years and they all broke cause of the same reason: hinges. Creative likes to save money on material I guess, and Live! 2 is no exception.

Honestly just looks like the material on mine are different, but I could be wrong. Mine first of all like to shine up like diamonds with flash on, and the stuff on your pads looks "flat" while it looks more like the actual "hair looking" texture is "sticking up" on mine (if that makes sense...)...

They all say Woox on the actual headphones, even the Gibson ones, you can only go by whats on the box. Hard to tell what material your pads are. Is it the kind that sort of feels like a bunch of tiny hairs when you stroke across it?

Any chance you could take a picture of your pads and show them here?

Not at all. Woox were bought by Gibson some years ago which is why there are two versions. From what I read they sound different (people seem to prefer the Woox-edition, so cudos to you)   You can simply plug them into your onboard (PC) or a phone (not sure about iOS but should be possible...

From what I've read: - Gibson has a more dark/boomy sound - Look out for sound imbalance. I received a pair last week that had it and got a new pair today (both Gibson), use sound mixer if you are in doubt to adjust left/right channel volume - Dont expect it to be a Woox version - Like I...

Received my 2nd pair of Fidelio x2 today after sending the 1st pair back due to imbalance. These do not have the imbalance issue but they definitely use different pads??? They definitely seem smaller (still room for my whole ear on both sides though), but they sorta do make them feel more...

Right, but, the price tag, ukno.

I guess thats true, zzzz. ****, I hate returning and waiting for replacements. Guess I have to though -_-   Very comfortable but also very big, something to get used to. Although they have a tendency to creak in their plastic if you move about too much which I found rather annoying in the...

I have 14 days right of return. But how exactly is a different pair gonna be better? I mean, the balance is fixable by adjustnig the volume, so would a working pair sound different? Looking forward to it. :D

Alright, they definitely have imbalance.   Been having my right channel upped with 8% more volume for a few hours now and when I slide it down to equal the left channel its obvious that its not balanced. But, I'm just gonna keep those 8% on the right channel which gives a perfect balance and...

Quick impressions from having them on for about an hour: I feel a TEENY TINY imbalance (more sound in left), but it may just be me (placebo effect?) from reading about it so much. Fortunately its hooked up to my soundcard which lets me balance sound in left/right and upping the right side...

Alright, thanks. Just gonna ignore the sale then and get the X2. 

  Alright, thanks. :) I read on reddit that x2/00 and x2/27 are the same thing just for different markets (maybe EU/US?). Either that or they just switched names when Gibson bought Woox. Nontheless, they should be identical.   A newer version, X2HR, is releasing in Europe early April. Not...

Do you have a Woox or a Gibson model? Still kinda on the lookout for a Woox since a lot of ppl says Gibson has a dark/boomy sound.

Hey all, just a day or two ago I was ready to pull the trigger on Fidelio X2, but then all of a sudden a huge headphones sale appears on a website from here leaving me even more confused as to what to pick (because maybe I can get something better???) - and I dont have much experience with...

Thanks for the answers, guess I can safely pull the trigger then :)

Hello all, I've been looking to buy Fidelio X2 and have been reading back and forth about them for a week or so now. What I've learned is that there are two models: one from Woox and one from Gibson, whereas the Woox is the preferred one, but hard to obtain. Gibson, apparently, is more "dark"...

Finally got an answer back from Philips regarding the X2HR in Europe.  

Alright, good luck with it. Although you could probably try with a sub-300ohm plug too so you can keep running the 32/300ohm setting. 320ohm is damn close to the 300ohm setting yet very far and between the 600ohm setting.

If the ZXR has an output of 40ohm, wouldn't you want 320ohm on the headphones for a 1/8th ratio, and not the 200 you mentioned earlier? Hm, I've no idea what difference it could make. I've always just assumed that the 32ohm setting logically did its best possible sound-wise for low ohm...

Hmm, I dont have a beard but I do have some sensitive skin, but hopefully its just about getting used to it? Guess I'll have to find out. Bit worried though about what "freshmind" wrote few posts up about his ZXR. I have a ZXR myself, although I never had issues with my 32ohm Aurvana Live! 2...

Think im just gonna pick up a pair of X2 then. Cant rlly justify paying €350 when I can get "the same thing" for €100. Im supposed to (hopefully) get an answer by mail however if whoever I chatted with could find out a precise release date. Seems odd though no one has an idea about a release...
