It's weird because usually the "portable" cans like the L2 have more bass, because noise on-the-go in metro and city is of low frequency and more bass help overcoming it and avoids using high volumes to perceive the sound, and a "home" use pair of cans would have made more sense being flat and analytical. Yet Philips made the opposite, the L2 ore balanced and the X1 bassy
Still the L2 got massive bass. While I made my side by side test the Philips L2 manage do destroy several tracks with overpowered bass. A good example is John Legend - All of Me (Tiësto's Birthday Treatment Mix). None of the other 5 headphones I hade at the side by side test come even close. I did test the X1 at an earlier test but did not test this kind of songs.
I was using Yamaha RX-A1020 connected(HDMI) to an Intel Nuc that is running Windows 7 and Spotify. Not a audiophile qulity but good enouth for these tests.
