Got my pair on Friday :) very detailed using my modded Aune Dac and Topping L30Mk2 .. vocals are very present and a little forward ... will give them a few days burn in .. and may try pad rolling a little see what happens ... interestingly I got a bit of hum using my Deckard Amplifier ...

150 would be better !!

Maybe an X2i :)

Of course I am LOL

They should have called it the XD650

Did you order them from https://www.thomann.de/gb/avantone_planar_red.htm?glp=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw0On8BRAgEiwAincsHHDcMxcidF-3AEZJeGavx0KIa2xzGzKrvJgcd-GInuSY7CMAg1MuGBoCWYgQAvD_BwE ?

Fingers crossed for you that will arrive soon :) nothing worse than waiting for new headphones and being kept waiting...

Damn .. I was looking forward to some sensible reviewing from you !! regarding these .. The YouTube channel gushes about them a little to much for my liking...

Have they arrived ??? Have they ???

Hmmmm actually I have given it a go with a nice pure Silver cable i had handy and the difference from the stock cable is not just bass, its better control all the way through :) great advice ... hard to believe how good the X1 is second hand at £50 ...

Oh yes you are right... the bass has tightened with a different cable ( the one that came with the X2HR in fact !!! ) not heard a cable change make that much difference before !! Thank you...

That said... If I was forced to have only one pair of headphones at all for Films, music, and use without all my fancy amps... The X1 is pretty much as good as it gets .... I have several Senn's and the X series Fidelio's in my opinion are better value for money for what you get out the...

Well if the X3 is that good ! it will do very well :) I got a pair of Original X1's yesterday ( mint condition for £50 ) and first impressions ! I prefer them to the X2HR ( shock horror ) They are more forgiving of poor recordings ( a lot like the LCD2 ( original non fazor version )...

wow cheap !! Bargain !!!

" this week I ordered a pair of Avantone Planars " Look forward to hearing your thoughts on these :)
