Received my pair from Amazon.it a couple of days ago, fully sealed and as new. Love the all black design and the grilles, though they do look a bit awkward on the head, but what the hell, these are just for home use anyway. Coming from a pair of M80's, which I love these are just on a another...

How often and when do Philips release new headphones? X1/X2 were released fairly close to within a year of each other no? 

  I've already asked V-MODA about availability in Europe and no luck there, apparently only available in the US, which I find strange.

Would become way to expensive for just a pair of pads with shipping and extra tax/customs. Would rather just put that money towards a new headphone instead though it would be a shame to just put the m80's to the side. Wish the pads were available in Europe at amazon or something..

You guys think it would be too much to ask of V moda to send a pair of memory foam pads for free to Europe? Seem to remember others posting here that they have done so in the past in regards to pads and cables (might have been within the US though).    Recently got a huge tear in one of the...

Think the design is no more than OK compared to what's out there already. Oval shaped headphones are just, ugh...

amazon.es has them for 223 euros atm.

Just ordered a pair, so hopefully they'll be decent sound quality wise.

As I'm in Europe they aren't readily available at the moment. Especially as I need a pair of cans pretty quick now before christmas as well. Thanks for the suggestion though.    Open for more recommendations/opinions.

Of course, unfortunately I don't know that myself otherwise I would have included it. In general just looking for a fun and moderately accurate headphone. Doesn't need to be either a neutral or basshead's kind of headphone. A warm slightly V shaped signature perhaps, comparable to an M80.

Do any of these tower above the rest?   Looking to buy a pair of headphones for a friend of mine for christmas. Having trouble deciding/finding the right pair as there are so many varied reviews on all the above. Should mention I would probably be able to get them all for a similar price. Also...

That's what I'm afraid of. Seen some people saying they are ok but not perfect for it, might be that it depends on head size and fit. Might just have to take a chance and see how it goes, the price is just too damn appealing. 

Should of mentioned strictly within Europe, as that makes it considerably easier. Appreciate the suggestion though. Anyone else have any recommendations? 

Been looking around for a replacement cable for a pair of Noontec Zoro. Obvious answer is V moda speakeasy cable but they aren't readily available in Europe so that's no. Also heard about Beats replacement cables that you can find on amazon...

How would these headphones handle running? Would they sit comfortably on the head or would they fall off? 

Just bought a pair for 50. Thought for the price, what the heck, might as well give them a listen for that price. Cant wait till they get here, intrigued to hear what they sound like.

Still looking mostly at these for a new pair of over the ears headphone as I've found a couple of D5000 for a great price, 280 dollars. Damn tempting. Though I'm wondering if there would be any problems using these while lying in bed now and then? Considering the long cable and maybe lack(?) of...

Thanks for the feedback. Definitely considering these, shame I can't try them out before purchasing though. 

Wondering similar as above. Especially compared to v mods m80/XS. Consider my m80 to be pretty neutral with a slight bass emphasis and a fun sound signature. Do these cans produce a similar bass that neither is overpowering nor flat and do they have that fun feeling when listening to them or is...

How much noise do these leak though? Will use them for home use but bit worried since I will at times listen to music at night when I do not want to disturb others around the house.    If its significant I'm considering just getting the X2 instead since its pretty much at the same price but...

Was just a bit wary because I also saw Tyll mention them being fragile but you have eased my worries. A pair for 150 would be, amazing. Haven't seen any available for that so far though. 

Anything I should look out for when buying a used pair? Saw some people mention them being quite fragile and some small parts falling off here and there. 

Always been fascinated by the Denon dxxxx range. Love the looks. Thinking about getting a pair of D2000, used. Wondering if a price of 200-250 dollars is a good price for a pair that are used and in good condition? Also interested in if anyone could compare them to similar headphones in that...

  I've heard tyll mention that problem with the beyers and that did put me off a little bit even though it has such great reviews around here. I've looked at MDR 7520 as well but unfortunately they aren't available in Europe, and if I did find a used pair they would be at the top or over my...

There's got to be one for ~$350 though right, even though it might only be a slight upgrade?
