I want these headphones! They might be exactly what I'm looking for. Pricey though. Gotta sell off some stuff first..
I don't know if the X1 sounds bassier, we really need someone who can A-B them.
Should be getting mine tomorrow! Hopefully...
Edit: They have arrived! Very first impressions are that they sound like a fun, warm, bassier and "fuller" sounding AKG Q701.
Tonight pairing X2 with an AudioMinor cryoed copper cable and on the DV336SE side, using Shuguang 6n8p (6sn7) tube on the front and RCA 1952 48th week produced military (sac: strategic air forces) 6As7G tube on the back, I am in tears while listening to Pavarotti Ti Adoro "Gladiator"..................
Got the X2's today. Bass is tighter than X1. The whole sound is more balanced and refined but I'm sad to say that the clamping force is a little to strong and headband is now huge. I still prefer the warmth of the X1's even though the sound isn't has refined but to my ears more fun. Will leave the X2's running for a few days to see if anything changes from my first impression.
Anyone find the x2 being too heavy at all?
382 grams seems like a lot/
