Lists some new model numbers, as well as some colors on older models not available in the US.

Different colors for existing models: Light Blue M1 (M1BL), Light Blue S2 (S2LB), Black/Khaki S2 (S2KB), Blue S1 (S1SB).
 
New Models:
X2 (already a thread and review http://www.head-fi.org/t/729413/philips-fidelio-x2-a-review-by-baycode )
M2BTBK (an M2? Bluetooth model in black)
M1MKIIBO/M1MKIIWT (mark 2 version of an M1?)
 
I wonder why they updated the model to M2 for Bluetooth, but left the name M1 with a mark 2 badge for the wired version.
 
I fully expect that these products will be completely mis-handled by Philips and none of them will ever see the shores of the US (see the L2 http://www.head-fi.org/t/681147/philips-fidelio-l2).

Scratching my head on the M line.  The new Bluetooth one has maybe some new BT profiles?  And it's black instead of dark blue?

Unfortunately the Fidelio M2BT isn't available in the US. Do you or anyone else here know of a place that will ship to North America? Any reviews on the new M2BT yet? I'm so excited knowing that the Fidelio M2BT support Bluetooth 4.0!

 

[Sgt_Strider]

Apparently the Fidelio M2BT is available via Amazon Germany. Amazon UK won't ship to my house for whatever reason. I can't read German and I'm afraid the box won't have any manuals in English. I'm tempted to buy it, but I'm waiting for a review first. I'm hoping the sound quality is going to be good.
 
Was the M1BT even available in the US? Philips don't seem to be very big over here. I would hate having to deal with import fees and all.

I think they were, but were likely very limited.
 
AccessoryJack seems to have a full selection of Fidelio products (though they don't have the NC1, which is what I'm looking for).

I've never heard of Accessory Jack before. Where are they based? Are they reputable?
 
I can't seem to find any reviews on the M2BT. I'm hoping to get some feedback before pulling the trigger!

I think they're out of Hong Kong.  For some reason, Fidelio stuff seems to come out there first, and they have more color options on some of the headphones.

Like buying from any overseas site, you may or may not get warranty support by the manufacturer here. They know this, and say they will handle a claim for you, but would likely take long to get resolved.  I think this would be the same as any other overseas site.
 
I was thinking of getting the S2, and they have a black and khaki color that's not available in the US.

Dude, did you even read the links I gave?
 
I've never ordered from them, so I can give you no first hand experience.

I did, but how am I suppose to know if they're a legitimate site selling real products or not? That's why I'm asking if you or anyone else here have dealt with Accessory Jack before.

Both those questions should be asked in the thread:

I have tested the M1BT, and compared with the Bose Soundlink On Ear, Jabra Revo Wireless, and other Headphones.
I liked the Fidelio better. At least for their sound. The basses are more vibrant and warm than on the Bose, which have good basses but more, dry.
At first listening the Fidelio lacked highs and have a more distant and less fresh sound than the Bose.
I then EQed the Highs on the Fidelio with very satisfying results, the sound was much more bright. While even EQing the basses on the Bose, they improve but never get vibrant like Fidelio.
Maybe also due to the smaller drivers.
With more time I understood why at first the Fidelio seem distant. They have a better soundstage. So that sometimes the vocals and some highs do not come from "just near the ear" like in the Bose (which has a very minimal soundstage).
The Fidelio was more detailed. It is maybe due to the APTX, which the Bose lacks.
The Bose have a wonderful balance of sound quality and portability, and the nice feature of multipoint connectivity which allows them to connect at same time with two devices (you can listening to music from the PC and still receive a call from your phone).
 
I returned the Fidelio because I was looking for something foldable.
But I missed them. So I ordered now the M2BT which, according to the specs, goes deeper in the low freq, and according to the Philips Support have some new digital audio processing which improve the quality somehow.
 
The Fidelio are not as much comfortable as the Bose, but well, apparently this is not a Fidelio's fault but a Bose's merit. They are known to be the most comfortable Bluetooth Headphone (On Ear).
 
I live in Germany, I can help you with translations, and give you suggestions where to buy and where not if you send me links.
Most sellers anyway speak English and you can ask them what you wish to know.
 
I will let you know about the manual, but, there really is nothing deep to understand. And you can download the manual from their website.
 
I spoke with the Philips Customer Care of Netherlands, in English. They speak better English than me and are very nice.
 
But somebody needs to urgently take away the image of those horrible Parrot Zky from my Avatar. Just saw it now.
I am unaware of a worse looking pair of headphone. Apart for the Sennheiser Mm400 and 500 which are inspired from the Rugby Ball head of the kid in Family Guy.
