Is there anything in particular you would like to know about the X2's?
Never mind, I see MLE already replied.

I already gave you all that I'm gonna answer. If there's no score it's because I no longer give scores out because people only focus on that and not the review itself.i found your review https://www.headphone.guru/philips-fidelio-x2-exuding-excellence/ and i read your review..
now i want to ask one last question
what score rate you would put for /philips-fidelio-x2 for electronic music and gaming from 0 to 10?
this is my last question because i want to buy them tomorrow./.
most i am interested for electronic music for this i am asking what rate score you would put them for electronic music from, 0 to 10;

I already told you they are good for electronic music. And gaming. You don't need some arbitrary score to make you second guess me saying they ARE GOOD FOR THOSE THINGS. That is it.
so if you would choose between the dt990 pro and philips x2 for edm music and gaming.. .. which you would buy for these 2 things΄;(edm and gaming)
because i have heard that the dt990 pro are good for gaming and edm music.. because they have the v-shape sound..
i am between in the dt990 pro and philips x2 for edm music and gaming for this i am asking you which you would buy from these 2; from your experience?
dt990 pro or philips x2?
i am saying the v-shape sound from Philips Audio Fidelio X2HR are better from the dt990 pro for genres like trance, house, techno.. psy trance,., jungle and etc????
also do you believe that the Philips Audio Fidelio X2HR are better from the dt990 pro in gaming??
Unless you're doing a side-by-side sound comparison there's not a stark difference between these two headphones. Which also applies to their durability, comfort, price, and driveability. 32ohm with the Beyerdynamics. Either way you go you'll be fine. I personally believe both are best suited for casual gaming because of the bass. As far as music goes I'm really not that impressed when listening to different genres. This has to do with my preference with forward mids.
Here's a radical concept:i am saying do you believe that Philips Audio Fidelio X2HR are better from the dt990 pro for genres like trance, house, techno.. psy trance,., jungle and etc????
i am listening only trance, house, techno.. psy trance,., jungle and etc for this reason i am asking from these 2 which you believe is the best for edm music';
Buy the X2's and never google headphones again.
If someone never used headphones before, was blissfully ignorant of the "audiophile" world of endless headphone debates, etc. etc., and bought the X2, they would probably be super impressed and never need another set of cans ever. (As long as they never opened the pandora's box of googling "best headphones for xyz.") IMHO. They're well tuned to appeal to the "average" listener (I mean that in a good way) and they also do a lot of the technical things right that you want a high end headphone to do.
Good with everything, great with some things, not bad with anything. Low key endgame cans.

I can't do this anymore.
I understand your enthusiasm and excitement in shopping for a new pair of headphones. The problem here is that MLE and others, while having heard both headphones, may not have both on hand to listen to your music selections. Therefore they can't say with certainty as to which is better for your desired music genre. Also, both headphones, while being good headphones, aren't hi-end headphones. As such, they may do very well with some songs, and not so well with others, even within the same genre.also did you see the videos with which i am hearing?? in all these kind of music how the x2 will work ???

The best way to decide is to audition them yourself. This way you are testing them with YOUR music on YOUR player and YOUR equipment. This is why I suggested to you to buyt both, and return one. If you do not want to do that, and you don't know anyone or anyplace to try these headphones, you will have to choose one blindly and try it. I did that with my Beyerdynamics, my Sony's, and my Sennheisers. I only had to rid myself of only one. (DT-990 Pro)
MLE posted his reviews of all these headphones, and would prefer people to read them, and make their own conclusions, instead of repeatedly asking him for information he has already supplied in his links. Honestly, he cannot tell you more that what he has written there since many of those headphones he no longer has on hand. Your pursuit for your answer in this thread has gone a bit too far, and you have become what is known on forums as a Help Vampire. And MLE is now avoiding your postings, as are some of the others.
You asked me these same questions in private, and I answered them to the best of my ability. Of the two, you will probably be best served by the Philips X2HR. The DT-990 will be harder to drive, and require better amping than just a PC's output. Plus the headphone's sound signature is an acquired taste, and has more of a chance of you not liking it. The DT-880 may be a better choice, as it's treble is known to be not as intense, and somewhat better bass response due to being semi-open. The treble is also not as harsh on the Premium DT-990 models vs the Pro, but will cost more.
For trance and other electronic music, you want drivers that can slam bass with authority and be tight, with no bleed into the low mids. You also want drivers that are fast and resolving, so that the micro elements of the music don't get lost or blurred. The treble should be present, and not soft and smooth, but not overly hot, lest the music will become fatiguing. If you want this kind of sound on a budget, you may want to look at the HifiMan HE-4XX (Drop) or HE-400i. Planars offer this kind of performance, and this headphone is in the price range of the X2HR and DT-990 Pro. Planars do benefit from a lot of power, so you will probably also need a dedicated amp. You can also consider the Sennheiser HD-58x from Drop. It's a very good all-around headphone, that has good detail and can handle fast music. Downside of them is that they are somewhat laid-back, and not an energetic headphone, but has a lot of what you want for your genre. Bass would need to be EQ'd and boosted a bit.
But between the X2HR and DT-990, I feel the X2HR would serve you better. The X2HR has that "fun" and energetic signature you would want, with good bass response.
I hope this answers what you wanted to know, and please, respect the people who provide the information. They post it out there so they don't have to type it repeatedly over and over and over...
