I got these the other day , out of the S4 and these i liked the 'bullet' design of the X1 better.
I havent heard the S4 so i cant compare but i do have the Custom 1 + 2. I could tell straight away that the X1 were no match for the Custom 2, they didnt have quite the detail or the smooth tight bass so i will be comparing mainly to the C1s.
Just so no one is confused the X1 i bought from Amazon is the S2 but in different packaging and exclusive to Amazon. It is £24.99 at the moment and i can say already that this is a major bargain.
Also the cable is mich better than the custom series , no microphonic issues and no fraying!
On the comfort front the S2 also fair better with my ears, the custom series have a habit of changing sound with jaw movements but the S2's seal in much more stable.
I will be doing my A-B in the next 3 hrs so i will update very soon, so far im impressed!
