The drill? I listen to it all, heavy metal to electronic to film soundtracks to older bands. I like 'warm neutrality', good resolution and non fatiguing treble. I appreciate bass extension over quantity. Previously had 598s and they really aren't bad but for bass not being faithful. Cable...

Guys I've read the whole thread. Current setup is X1s, low resistance cable, Aune T1 with one of the best tubes and qobuz lossless source. Its a very good setup all in for under £300:) Now I got the x1s on sale for £115! From Amazon.com but the release of the x2s have me very intrigued. I do...

Bought and shipped slowly for £120 bargain!:D You could even sell these at profit in the EU

amazon.uk   .de is still cheapest for us, just don't know how warranty/returns works

Damn they've gone up slightly in price again:(

OK thanks

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDWDn1z3VSI   Can someone tell me how the bass note is handled (comes in at 43s) on the X1's please?   I find that note is a torture test for equipment, as it bottoms out pretty low.   Also, that song is quality, enjoy:p It's on Spotify too

using that site camelcamelcamel.com I only say the pre-xmas dec sale hit £151?   Gonna wait till next pay check in couple weeks, can afford them now but it justifies it more and they might hit a lower price fingers crossed.   Amazon.de also worth a go

Are we expecting them to go EOL? I too am holding out for £150 again but don't want to miss them completely! Also prices have only risen since that sale price.

OK great. So in fact everyoe seems to be saying that under £200 these are very good value for money?

The bass is accurate not boomy right? What of this talk of recessed MIDs which the response graphs don't show? If anything they are similar to my beyers, completely flat from low bass to mids

Guys I have had the X1 in my shopping basket for the past week!   I am using HD598's with an Aune T1   Source is Spotify Premium   80% Music and 20% Games   Don't watch movies, I have zensor 5.1 for that:D   I have DT-1350 Facelifts for portable use and love the low extension and...

what I meant was run the tube so I am fully used to it before changing it so I can hear a difference.   I like the idea of 'holographic', with 598's that will be mental!   they are expensive these things!   Coil will driver grade work with the T1? As upscale audio say that is the one that...

Thanks, I love my 598's.   I've just been playing songs that swell to a climax and been getting tingles around my ears that shoot down my neck and all the way to my hands, anyone ever get that haha?!   The HD 700's are only 150ohm IF I recall correctly so think the T1 will drive them...

seen that already thanks though

Guys, got a new job in the city so to celebrate going to upgrade from IEM soundmagic E30s to some bigger phones as everyone seems to be rocking now, so wouldn't feel as self-conscious as before as wearing something on my head! (plus its winter and don't like wearing hats so any warmth benefit...

Hi thanks for the reply.   Not looking to get new cans at all so bit of a blow there.   Guess i'll run em into the ground and in the future look to 650's or something paired with a decent desktop amp.

Hi all, new here and instead of starting a new thread thought i'd jump in at the deep end of this thread! (of which I've read about a third)   I'm relatively new in the audiophile scene and like bang for the buck (£ in my case) in life!   My current set up is:   Spotify Premium  ...
