[Head1]

@baycode - do they really weigh 530g, that's quoted on the specs?

Really wished that Philips had adopted the type of headband found on L2. From the stock photo, it looks like people with large heads wouldn't be able to wear them comfortably again. sigh.

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

Yup. Gonna have to bend the arch like last time to accomodate bigger heads. :/

Give me some more time, I am not a person to write down a review at first listen. Also, I beleive in burn-in. My friend Peter is talking right on price. Their clarity, bass response, quality of sound reproduction and weight make me think thatvthe change in the design of the magnets (over the X1). May be a tesla... Sure they're powerful neodmium...

I will post future reviews in graphical format. Please check this link for updates: http://www.head-fi.org/t/728731/baycodes-upcoming-and-completed-reviews-newsfeed-page

I hope the above link is working. Now I have to focus on sound...

X2 is the best purchase for me this year besides the Havi B3 Pro1 iem...

They feel like Porsche... Driving them is like feeling the power under the wheels/earpads

Ps: there are pins under the earpads

Ps: there are pins under the earpads

But is there any glue?

How is the bass, for EDM?

 

[bizkid]

I just ordered mine and my dealer told me that these are avaible immediately so i will have them next week. I also had the X1 on preorder back then.

 

[CoiL]

bizkid, so You are going to have both - X1 and X2 ? Can You do head-to-head review maybe?

 

[bizkid]

I dont have the X1 anymore. I actually had it 4 times since its release. All 4 models had varying degrees of bass amount and mid clarity but lets not go there or the witchhunt will start again.

Any official web page for X2?

Or perhaps a hybrid dynamic, balanced armature like the Pandora Hope 6 which also weighs half a kilo.
 
 
 
As prophesied, looks like Headfonia might be among the first to publish a review:
 

 We have received lots of very interesting samples lately and over the next few weeks and months you can expect reviews of the newest Hifiman HE-560, the Meridian Prime, Grado E series, CypherLabs Picollo, Woo Audio WA7, Audiofly AF180, Fiio’s E10K and E11K, Philips X2 (surprise surprise), Noble K10, Linum Cables, Mezzo HiFi, and many more!

When I bought the l2 from amazon it it was cheaper than if I would have bought it released new here. Also between Philips drops in price fast. I won't wait for a US release just a foreign amazon one.

 

[bizkid]

Awww too bad my dealer let me know that they are out of stock with the distributor. The wait begins...
