Hi mate, glad you're enjoying the Fidelio L2. 
 
BTW does your friend have a spare L2 cable, the one with mic/remote? I don't have one... 

 

[Xtralglactic]

@d marc0 ive contacted Jazzyfi for you. He should contact you shortly.

 

[Jazzyfi]

All, I'm not a representative of Philips. I do work for Philips but unfortunately I cannot help you with getting spare parts, etc. Xtralglatic bought my personal L2 because I have 2 pairs and just bought myself a new NC1. So to be clear, I'm not selling brand new Philips headphone through Head-Fi 

.

 

[d marc0]

It's all good guys. Thanks.

Philips should start selling their own cables now that they're getting more popular in this community.

Item sent yesterday to Svyr (Vlad). I will write my review with my own pair as it should be on my head this friday 

.

 

[nigi]

So it seems that you really liked them.
I am very happy with my pair. Great mix of deep fast bas and forward treble without sybilance plus full and detailed mids. Only con is pressure on the top of my head.

 

[svyr]

got em

 

[Xtralglactic]

And I got my own personal pair last Thursday. Simply amazing all i can say...

 

[d marc0]

got em

 
Looking forward to your impression Vlad!
I hope you enjoy them...
 
Don't hesitate on expressing your thoughts... I'm pretty sure you'll find something undesirable about them

Stop it! You're just making me miss them more...
If you ever get to write a review on the L2, please post a link on this thread... it'll be highly appreciated.

 

[Xtralglactic]

I now cast my eyes (and ears) to my other phillips headphone the SHL 3300 DJ clearly not as detailed and resolving ss the L2, but bass slams wayy more. Id say its got 70% of the l2's detail/resolving capabilities but with more bass but can get sibilant at times due to the bighter sound sig and the higs are accentuated abit more than the L2.

Thank you for sending the to try, but to be honest...I can't wait to take them off and send them along.

for me: not the best soundstage + very far off from my preferred tonal balance.
more specifically I didn't think they were neutral, I thought they were peaked in all 3 areas:
-not enough sub-bass. DnB and hip-hop or even popish things - the hits seems to be mostly bass + mid bass. (curiously, from the FR chart that shouldn't be the case but IDK)
-upper mids tilt ? (not really a big fan for male vocals or overall mids tonality )
-painful etch in the treble (possibly being 9-13(?)k). This one hurts for me. I'm not sure if it's to do with music choice - on some tracks the treble sounds 'ok but extremely resolving', but on others - agonizing



Aside from them being comfortable I don't think I like anything else about the L2. Build quality is nice, although the orange plastic cup holders seem like they could be metal too . also as you guys mentioned - non removable ear pads.
Would've liked to try the mic cable too.

You obviously know nothing about anything!!!    HAHA. JK JK  xD
 
Too bad you didn't like them. That's why we have so many different headphone for difference prefferences. Maybe the sound will grow on you after a while?
