Sorry I didn't reply before. I don't go on Head-Fi much these days! I got the earpads! The suede ones are actually fantastic in every way! They lock onto the headphones just like the original earpads, nice and simple! And they are super comfortable. Plenty of room for your ears, and extremely...

As Zeos says, "Fricc you, Philips." Must have been Euclid class. Did you ever try the original (non HR) version of the X2? They were so comfy! Even better than suede, I kid you not.

I miss the original X2 earpads so much! They were so plush and velvety... And they were good for redacting confidential documents. Part of me wants to try to sew or glue them back together again. I still have the remains.

@goodyfresh I, too, have been on a long-time search for aftermarket X2 earpads that don't color the sound. Brainwavz suede and velour pads darken the sound quite a bit indeed... The most fascinating pads I tried were Audio Technica AD900x pads. They didn't make the sound dark, but they gave the...

I love lamp

I still listen to my classic AD700 from 2011 sometimes. It will always have a special place in my heart. I just wish that Sonarworks had a calibration profile for the AD700(non-x). But I couldn't imagine how difficult it would be to get an accurate sound profile of these headphones, with how...

I like the sound of micro suede... Well, not literally the sound, until I hear it for myself, lol. I'm going to order some micro suede pads and try them out. But I'm really enjoying these AD900x pads. They bring more liveliness to the sound, getting rid of the laid-back quality that the X2...

For fun, I tried some of the "Round Hybrid" Brainwavz earpads, and they are a tiiiiiiight squeeze. I felt like I was going to rip those suckers in half. The XL earpads will probably fit more comfortably. And even still, the Brainwavz pads have a lot of excess material that wraps around the...

I've gotta get an X3...not just because I love my X2 so much, gotta have that 5khz Everest, but because "X3" is just hilarious on its own. X3 My X2 was very creaky when I first got it..and it bugged me a bit. But I think that after 4 or so years of use, the creaking went away. My M50 is the...

One of my original X2 ear pads started to fall apart, so I went to find some replacements. I couldn't find any replacement ear pads that would just snap on. I wish I bought some of those "bass plus" pads back when they were available. What's the point of featuring removable ear pads if no...

Coming from a Modi (albeit non multibit), your impressions match mine exactly. Everything sounds cleaner, and yet there is more impact in the bass. It hits hard and deep, especially in music that never seemed to have a lot of bass emphasis before. Very strange, yet satisfying. PS: It looks...

Linear amplifiers seem to be the new best thing as far as amplification tech goes. I don't think I can hold off and wait, though. Gyah! I'm getting a Jotunheim and sticking with it, dang it. Bifrost 2 has a lot of the features that Yggdrasil and Gungnir Multibit have, except it doesn't seem to...

So I kinda upgraded from a Modi 2 to a Bifrost 2, and now my Magni 2 looks really tiny. Heck, there's enough room on the Bifrost 2 for my old DAC and amp to hang out together! (So why not). It's a really small detail, but I like that the Bifrost comes with pre-attached feet. I don't have to...

Sadly, soundstage isn't the strongest aspect of the Elear. It's not very wide or deep. It feels like the headstage is deep at 45 degree angles from the front, but it collapses inward at the center. It doesn't rival the Q701, or even the AD700, which have more circular sounding soundstages...

$479 for an end-game headphone? What a time to be a head-phile. [buys a second elear just because]

I love the sound of black and silver...

Here's my head-fi station at its current state... (Thanks, Irma!)

The gap between PC and console will shrink further and further...until there's no difference! D=

Whoa, Music Alchemist, you like your Klipsch that much?! Awesome! I love my Klipsch speakers, too^^. Anyway, I've been pondering getting an SR-L700 + SRM-353X + Yggy combo, as well. But I think that, like you, I'll just upgrade my speaker setup instead...for now...maybe until Schiit releases an...

I saw a guy wearing airpods. They look so weird... I couldn't stop staring.

So I was hanging around at work when I saw some coincidental Schiit...

This song (And album) always blow(s) my freaking mind. It's like a roller coaster ride, especially the beginning. The way the song suddenly dies down and kinda throws you out into space..then the awesome drum beat starts slamming..and it sounds so real. Holy Schiit, I love it! I recommend cans...

My mom listening to the Fidelio X2; "These sound very distant." Hahaha!

New ear pads just don't sound the same, man. =P

What?
