Its generally any Sss sound regardless of it being a male or female. But I believe it may be the same freq area as on the X3s which I had before. So will test lowering in that range and see if it makes any difference. I will order that K5 Pro and see how they fare with both headphones. They're...

The Ss's would be mostly voices, when people sing or talk. I dont remember my original X2s having this but maybe due to their "drive-in" over ~3 years made that less harsh? 2-10khz would be a very wide range.I guess I would have to search to see if anyones EQd that part. So what would be a...

Bought a new pair of X2 (or X2HR as they are called now) along with HD560S. Anyway a Question, how much in an audible way, would a 10ohm output impedance affect these X2s? Using Xonar STX II. And which frequency to drop a bit to tone down the Ss. Oh and the pads are definitely not the same as...

Last I checked this is a Discussion thread not a Praise the X3s thread. Do you have the headphones? Your signature doesnt show them. So Im gonna guess no. Why are you here? I own them. And I have every right to criticise or crap on them if I would like to. I have however, not done any of that...

So you are trying to tell me your hometheater does not rumble? Okay. Thunderous scenes or big starfighters (star wars ep7 or 8 had some dope ass boomy, thunderous, rumbling sounds with atmos) flying past must sound dull and boring then.

A bit pricy. Idk some people say X2s are super bassy without EQ out of the box. I found them not so, like EDM music thats known for its bass, sounded lacking. (less lacking than X3 ofc) Some people say they have boomy or punchy bass. But I dont know what they define as boomy or punchy bass. I'd...

Hmm. To me they feel super flat without eq. Tinny almost. Does this require peace since you're not using graphic eq?

Ive read bad things about the E10Ks volume knob, stops working for some. Also what freq should I tweak to reduce these really harsh S's ? https:// open.spotify.com/track/2pRmhfwgixiYF91SywOUFh?si=PkjjnfOXQp2md5ioa946IA

Cant boost the volume for Stereo Mix, in say Discord. Meaning I have to raise system volume entirely meaning my ears would be in agony.

Im on a ~6 ? year old Asus Z97A with a terrible realtek soundcard that sounds completely awful in comparison. Do external dac/amps also bypass this? I want something cheap since Im just looking for the volume knob, has to be a decent one and available in Sweden. Fiio have ones but they're...

How long did it take you guys for the headband/earpads to loosen up? Mine are still hard clamping my skull so I get a headache/pressure around cheek/above ear. Also is there a dac/amp that can be used in combination of a soundcard, like my STX II? I just want external volume control. Having a...

Use prisjakt. Look at the price history. They raised it. Its a scam, quite literally. The actual price was 2290 kr since 2017. 20 days after the release of the original X2s. For the remainder of its life. 1500 is not 50%, its the retailers fooling its customers into thinking they're getting a...

Except here in Sweden, the X2 released at 350 but it was lowered to 230 after only ~20 days and remained so for the rest of its shelf time. I got mine for 140 during a sale.

If we're being real thats the original price of the X2s. I paid ~1400 for the X2s years ago. Considering the X2HR are no different, why do they cost twice the price?

Never heard of which happening? The peeling or the velour coming off? The peeling, its just the non-cloth part around the headband coming off in little pieces, like flakes. The velour isnt sown in place its just glued (not talking about the glue making the whole pad casing irremovable, I had...

I swapped back to my HD 558s. I dont know, I just cant get that fun sound from the X3s. They're nice and all. Just too analytical? For me. I guess I'll have to wait for X2HR to come down in price or a good alternative to my 558s but a bit deeper sounding (not muddy) out of the box. Sennies never...

What is the difference between filters and graphic EQ? Im testing this EQ in apo now.

Are we saying the headphones (X3s) are more unforgiving for bad? mixing? Which is potentially, most of what Spotify offers? I didnt notice the grain, maybe its the volume I listen at, I do note that the more I raise the volume the fuller/warmer the sound becomes but I also dont wanna go deaf...

Day.. 2½ of the X3s. Headband seem a little more forgiving. But still clamping. Anyway those of you with these X3s, can you listen to what this song sounds like to you? Just me or does the snare or whatever it is, sound kinda harsh or awful? Other instruments/sounds in that same freq range...

My phones an old S7 Edge, it sounds like doodoo no matter what headphones I plug into them I did, theres no difference in the sound at all. The seal is "fine" with and without. If anything it feels like the back part of the headphones, thats behind the hear is more like slightly hovering with...

Like, dont get me wrong, I like them, but I wish the low end was more present. I do enjoy clean bass but I also like rumble when it fits, like in a movie or a tv series or a video game. Music usually dont have that unless its straight up EDM and EDM without the rumble/warmth feels off to me. If...

I picked these up yesterday. And I previously had the X2, which broke (well they function, just the velour came off the left cup entirely and partially on the right and Philips dont wanna gimme any new) so Ive been using my old HD 558s (with the foam pad removed inside) since that, so approx 2...
