I have read MLE's gaming headphone thread over a few times and I have come to the conclusion that the Fidelio X1's would be the best for me as I am looking for a more fun set, and I am looking for a more comfortable set. I have already founds someone to buy my 598's for $120, so My question is...

I'd like the mids to be more forward and the bass to have more impact than the x1's.

Hello, I'm looking for a new pair of headphones, but I'm stuck in the choice between the Philips Fidelio X1 and Sennheiser Momentum. These questions are currently whirling around in my head:   Will X1 work well without amplifier? This is important, because when using so much money on a...

Hi everyone,   I'll go straight to the point: in your opinion, which one is better to listen to EDM? The HiFiMan HE-400 or the Philips Fidelio X1?       VS      Which one has more bass? Which one has better-quality bass?   Comfort, design, driveability, etc... are not a factor. I want...

Well...New to this forum but have been reading on it for a while   Im looking at some new bass heavy Phones for gaming and the Denon's really caught my eye, but I guess they got discontinued.   Is there any other phones out there that are similar?   Thanks in advance

So I've had my Fidelio X1s for a few weeks now and am enjoying them. Would like to give them a little more oomph and better D/A sound quality. I would be using either model primarily with my computer (which has a very old sound card) For those familiar with the two models, Would it be worth it...

Good morning,   Last month, I got suggested to look Fidelio X1 as an option. After reading several reviews, I really liked what I saw but I'm still between the HD 600 (http://www.accessoryjack.com/sennheiser-hd600-open-dynamic-hifi-professional-headphones.html) and X1 (http :/ /...

Im looking for an upgrade to my ma900 and the x1 is getting rave reviews.  Would the x1 be an improvement?  I couldn't care less about sound signature, and ive been thinking about grados.   Thanks In Advance!

I like the x1 but the pads aren't replaceable. Q701 seems good but I don't know if it has enough bass. I have the ma900 and they have the perfect amount of bass. Is the q701 easily eq able? Speed and presentation are my main priorities.

Hi, I have an AKG 271S and I am looking for upgrade (also 271 are not comfortable due the grip pressure). I usually listen with 6db+ on bass side with AKGs ... and that is quite OK, if still a bit dry sounding in midrange. I would like to try warmer sounding headphone, and was thinking about...

Not sure where to put this - in light of this recent review of the X1 http://www.head-fi.org/t/670318/philips-fidelio-x1-review-comparison   Hopefully this will help some members looking for a good price (and get me forum points!).  I've never even seen a used pair go for below 270.  ...

I'm stuck between these two. Why pick X1: •Bigger ss (soundstage) •More bass •Look better •Efficient Why Pick DT880 •Replaceable Parts •Cheaper Why Pick ATH AD900X •I think the pads are replaceable •Efficient •Cheapest If I get the dt880, I'll get the magni amp. Anyway, I don't care about...

    Philips Fidelio X1 | Review & Comparison       Quick Summary (As compared to AKG's K702 Anniversary and Q701)     X1:  Warm and smooth but with a slight "U" shape, a little more of a "fun" signature, bigger bass w/deeper extension, mids less prominent and a bit more...

Hi all, i would just like to know if i buy the Philips Fidelio X1  headphones that i am making the right choice by buying a Fiio E17 dac when im listening to on my laptop? Or is there a cheaper alternative to this dac for my laptop? Thanks in advance :)

The x1 is looking pretty good right now, as I can't find any bad impressions on them. There aren't too many (open) options in this price range that have neutral bass. I was thinking just getting the sr80i (again) and something else. Any advice? All closed headphones seem to have let me down when...

Hi all, i was thinking of buying a Fiio E17 dac for use with my laptop as it only has the very basic sound device. Or can anyone recommend a better or cheaper alternative to the Fiio E17 to use with the Philips Fidelio X1 headphones?   Thanks in advance, Homer

Hi,   For the last few weeks I've been thinking about buying a new headphone after finding out that a 40-year old Philips headphone sounded way better than my current one (a Steelseries Siberia V2, which focuses on gaming). I'd like to spend €175 tops, although there's always room for more...

Guys, I know no one has the m500, so im not really looking for a comparison right now but i have a choice to buy eight one of these.  I bough the KEF already, though i can still cancel.   Im going to be home a lot, since summer has started and I don't have school, and i just don't know which...

My sound card on my laptop is rubbish. will i need to buy an external sound card for it or will these headphones still perform well? same as with iphone?

Hello, I'm looking for Gaming Headphones for a very long time already without of success. I don't have any of experience and honestly there's no reason to throw alot of money into something that you're so not sure about. right now I have been looking in some few stores but still couldn't find...

Which do you recommend - Sennheiser HD-598 or Phillips Fidelio X1 and why?

I'm new to this forum and no technical expert. I have tried to find an answer on this site but it's difficult for me to understand all complicated technical information.   I listen to mainly classical music and jazz from Spotify (extreme setting which is 320kbps) on my new Philips Fidelio X1...

Hey guys, We're a bit in a pinch at the Fidelio X1 thread because nobody knows how to open this headphone and how to remove the pads. My primary reason for opening is because I want to make them balanced. Here is a link to my post with alot of photo's of the inside. Maybe you can figure out...

Has anyone tried these headphones?   I am interested in them because I think they might be an open headphone with good bass response - without being prohibitively expensive like the LCD2/3.   From reviews (well I only found one review), it sounds like they may offer stronger bass...

I have been listening to music through these all day on and off and wow. They really are a great set, i just have a problem with the bass sounding a bit lazy and not clear after a certain volume? I have heard people changing the cables over but i'm unsure whether this would cure the problem. I...
