The Philips Fidelio X1 (or X2) is very comfortable. I was able to snag the original X1 on an amazon lightning deal for 150 about 2 years ago. It is much more comfortable than my Q701 primarily due to not having those asinine bumps on the headband. The sound stage and SQ isn't the same, but it is...

Typing on my Das Keyboard Ultimate with Cherry Brown Keys.    I love it, I've written probably about 100 pages worth of manuscript on it and its so very smooth. It's a dust and finger-print magnet though!

I picked this mic up after I snatched up that ridiculous Philips X1 deal on amazon. Then I ruined my savings by getting a mix amp for my PS4. Either way, the mic is excellent and the headphone works great with it. I've used the headphone pair for Skype, projects, even talking on the phone...

Just squeaked into the Amazon Gold Deal. 150 for these sounds pretty good. I already have a Q701 + 172HD. Should be a nice change until i get the mighty HE-400

Finished listening to this beast after several hours. It is so much smoother than the e7/e9 combo. It has better clarity, separation and transparency. While I've only tested this with my Q's...I might have to dust off my K172 and maybe see if i can safely plug in my SE215.   I'm listening to...

I just got mine this morning for my Christmas gift from the lovable folks. (Both the Magni (#107 baby!) and the Modi + PYST Unbalanced cables)   Anyways, I'm burning them in.   As its early on, but from my Q701's...it sounds a lot more resolving than my e17/e7 + e9. Smoother with...

Whoa, I need to check this post more often. Thanks a lot everyone for expertise and input!    I've been using my Q's for probably 200+ hours. I'm just a poor college student but man do these sound great. The mids have gotten deeper and the bass is well defined but never booming.   If you...

I'm interested. I own the Monster Turbines (my primary IEM) and am very curious about the Coppers.    I have a MBP > Fidelia > E7/E9    I currently have Q701, K172 HD and Grado SR-60's (and the Turbines). I have plenty of FLAC, ALAC and 320kbps MP3's for testing.    I listen to...

Quote: I got a short green and a long black!

Quote: While I doubt the difference (if any, YMMV) is worth $100 bucks, these were a gift. If I were buying I would have gotten the K702's. My parents just got their P's and Q's mixed up. I can't complain . I love the complete black look. Much better than the green or white Q's IMHO...

Quote:   Plastic on the larger housing all around the pads. The smaller housing connecting the headband is plastic with a metal grill with the metal Q badge. Quote: I have no idea what they have done to this headphone. Some people say the mids were tweaked by Quincy...

  I have not heard the K701/2 sound. That's why im interested in getting my hands on a pair and getting some A/B going. If I get the chance I'll jump on it.

Quote: I'm thinking of picking up some Schiit this summer. Perhaps the Valhalla or Lyr. I can't wait for tubes!  

A remix of the classic and controversial K701/2 phone with perhaps a few sound differences. I got these phones as a surprise birthday present from my folks. I panicked because I knew I had no possible way of amping this thing. Thankfully the next day my girlfriend purchased a Fiio E7 for me...
