Just (re)discovered "Subterranean Homesick Alien" by Radiohead on my X2s. Oh my.

This DMS3 kid doesn't seem to like our beloved X2s much... https://youtu.be/kurQ5NrlaJY

Going minimalist can be nice, too. I recently was wowed by Bobby McFerrin's "Don't worry be happy" - never listened to it on headphones before!

My first impressions were the same,coming from a Senn 598. X2s seem bloated at first but will tighten up with burn-in. They'll always be warm-sounding, but in such a nice way.

Some tracks that made me fall in love with my X2s: Manu Dibango - Emma New Navy - Zimbabwe Daft Punk - Motherboard Bobby McFerrin - Don't worry be happy

I'm curious as to what song had moved you, if you don't mind sharing.

I have an extra pair, minimally used (burned in and checked for quality), verified good QC. If interested, send me a PM.

For sound quality, X2 is absolutely an upgrade from 598 (I had initially owned 598 but returned them after comparing to the X2). The only thing I prefer the 598 for is comfort - X2 is comfortable, but really big - definitely not for outside of the home!

Nope. I'm trying to be fiscally responsible - but have come dangerously close in recent weeks to picking up the HD6XX, THX00, Fidelio L2, and SHP9500. Not sure why, because I love my X2s!

How about for somebody WITHOUT a separate amp/DAC? I own the X2s but am considering an "upgrade" to the HD650; however, I don't own an amp other than what's built into my HTC 10 or my HP laptop (with Beats software, for what that's worth).

I'd say this is 99.999% fake. Does the real Piston 3 even come in that many color choices?

I have an extra set, PM me.

I have the Piston 2s and have been using them with the HTC 10. Honestly, I can't tell much difference in sound quality after switching from HTC M8 to HTC 10; however, I notice a HUGE difference when using my Philips X2s. The extra juice in the 10s really helps power the bigger cans - but I...

I love the Noontec Zoros but don't know if they're available for under $40...

Then sure, you'll dig the X2.  How do you like the HTC 10?  I have the M8 and am looking at that for an upgrade.  Does it need an amp?  I thought the 10 had the DAC/amp built in?
