Dre wrecked his dark Navy Blue colour (I think that's the colour) Ferrari!

Looks even better in person.  Yeah, there were a lot of people going out of their way to take photos of the Ferrari.  If that Navy Blue Ferrari was wrecked for real...uber no bueno!

I gotta say guys, having compared both extensively, Fidelio L2 crushes Solo 2 in the bass department. I was going to buy Solo 2 but ended up buying L2. The thing is, L2 is so good that I'm going to sell my Sennheiser HD650. It's not basshead level bass, no, but there's still a lot of quantity and the quality is so good. Sounds amazing with Chord Hugo. Unlike Solo 2, it scales great as well, sounding much better with Hugo than just from headphone jack of phone/tablet.
 
The sound signature is neutral, but with extra bass that hits strong, clean and beautifully. It is simply better than any portable headphones I've heard. That includes Solo 2, Senn Momentum, B&W P7, Onkyo ES-HF300, AKG K550, Beoplay H6 and some others I don't remember now. I used to like Momentum a lot, but after hearing better headphones, it's overly warm sound signature made me kind of sick. I couldn't stand how yummy everything sounded so I sold them. I've been through some other portable headphones since then, never finding the sound signature I liked. Now that I've found Fidelio L2, I'm going to be keeping them for a very long time. They are semi-open so I believe that helps to make them sound so great.
 
I like EDM and I've found L2 to be one of the best headphones for EDM. Trance, house, synthpop and all others sound great. It makes you want to dance. L2 has that wow factor, that makes you want to get up and dance. It also sounds great with pop, jazz, rock and all other genres.

Ive always had a sweet spot for Philips. I'm glad to hear that the Fidelio line performs well. I love the looks of the L2, X1, and the M1.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts here. I myself preferred the Vmoda M80's to the solo2. Now I really want to try either of the Fidelio on ear or around ear phones.

...you have this right as far as the grey ones go... I am so tempted...!


Yeah, the grey/silver light bluey colour is as far as I know a new colour to beats, it's really quite unique and hard to pin down its precise colour, but very nice that works well :cool:

Yeah, the light blue grey blend does look snazzy. But...chrome gold would be legit.


You mean Ferrari chrome gold? :wink:

Now that would be very :cool:
