    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    Have not been around Headfi much (too big of a temptation to buy new stuff).   I actually ended up buying the AKG 702 annie which I have now been using since the end of August and it hits every check box for me, easily my favorite headphone I have ever owned. Now I don't remember the X1...

    Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)

    Quote: Quote: While I did not do it very often I can confirm this. When I used the T1 with the Mixamp I had the volume at 12 o clock and the game/chat at 1:00 ish. The Mixamp was able to get the T1 more than loud enough but like MLE said it was less than ideal. I have the 5.1 Mixamp...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    So I received my X1 on Friday and I thought I would give a quick impression. First things first; the X1 sounds amazing and I feel the reviews are pretty spot on. The bass is unbelievable for an open headphone and it definitely makes listening to music, games and movies a complete joy. My only...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    I just want to say thanks to everyone who has posted info of the X1 in this thread and head-fi in general. You guys really helped me settle on the X1 as my next headphone purchase. Placing an order for an X1 right away.

    What are your favorite indie games?

    I find Kerbal Space Program to be very impressive. Have not played it personally but Watching Youtube videos is very entertaining. Also have to agree with bastion, I love the idea of having the game narrated as you play.

    AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition

    Quote: Thank you for your impressions. I am in fact getting rid of my T1 and D7000 for a mid-fi headphone so its nice to know I might be OK . Going to try out the X1 first as the price is more appealing but the Annie is defiantly my next headphone if the X1 doesn't work out.

    Quote: Hah. $30.87 for shipping before tax and stuff. Whenever I buy anything it makes me want to move to the states. Thanks anyways.

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    I have no intention of spending much on a cable but for $10 it seems worth it to myself. I was hoping there may be a 1/4" cable so I could avoid adapters.   Assuming no affordable cable exists that is decent; does anyone have any experience with the Monoprice adapters?  ...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    Quote: I hope that you are in fact right but unfortunately it appears that the majority do think there is a difference between the stock and different cables. I wish that the stock cable was good and there is no need to upgrade as that would save me having to hunt down a 1/4" adapter. I...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    Quote: I would also be interested if there are any such cables worth pursuing. Based on this thread it seems most have gone with 3.5mm cables. I would imagine there is a reason for this.

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    Thanks. I believe the T1 pads are very similar in size to the 880, not the same pads but close. The T1 would be perfect if they were a tad higher so I'm really trying not to get a headphone that is smaller than that. I was able to adjust the T1 so my ears just avoid the driver. Had a similar...

    Would someone mind measuring the inside of the pads and tell me the diameter and depth? I have large ears and I am trying to compare to Beyer T1. I am very close to picking up an X1 but I really would not want to go anything smaller the the T1 pads. Very quick measurement was T1 is approximately...

    The Nameless Guide To PC Gaming Audio (with binaural headphone surround sound)

    I live in a weird part of Canada. Weather constantly changes, can go from warm to snow to warm again in the span of an hour. We get a weather phenomenon that as far as I know doesn't occur any where else in the world (called a Chinook Wind). It has snowed in every month of the year and...

    The Nameless Guide To PC Gaming Audio (with binaural headphone surround sound)

    Quote: Well funny you ask. I'm thinking of downsizing from a Beyer T1 and Denon AH-D7000 to either an Annie or the X1. I'm leaning towards the Annie. I am also using a mixamp so I would need an amp for that. I was brain storming if you will, if bypassing the STX to an external DAC and AMP...

    AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition

    Quote: I have thought about the HD650. It seems like a great piece of equipment and to be honest if I was more into Music than I currently am I probably would go that route . With my current interests it seems like (based on other threads) the Annie and X1 are the ways to go.   Also saw...
