Yes I'm really going to Turkey on November 20'th so you better hide those X2 if I still haven't got a pair by then 

Great, I will PM you Peter

Are you even sure this X2 isn't fake

LOL! Someone should be a real fool to produce a fake X2 faster than or as fast as Philips! There are no ww awailibilty, sale numbers and settled pricing yet!

Baycode abi, thanks for your effort and time in writing this up. I'd like to see a similar review on the AvB signature line. These are interesting cans ama unfortunate that it seems to have the same size and fit as X1.

You're welcome

Yes, its nearly the same HP from the photos. We need to know what upgrades have been made for sound (other than aesthetics, upgraded cable?, and removable earpads... Wish I could find time and budget to make new reviews... ATM there are some new iems waiting for me

Think that's code for "my wife is around so I can't say."

Looking forward to all these new headphones . Too bad it's still a ways away before I can get my hands on them.

Wonder how these will compare to the he-400i and the new sony headphone to replace the ma900

The new sony is a closed back based on what weve seen so far so not really a MA900 replacement. I think it is also quite pricy like a flagship price.

We should do a Head-Fi meet in Turkey. I have a Chord Hugo, Meridian Explorer and Senn HD650s. I'm considering buying Fostex TH600/900, Fidelio X2, the new Sony flagship. One or two of those.

Philips facebook say September availability for the X2.

 

[Drrizzt]

Philips should release something like the Fidelio Z1, in order to compete with the T1, He-6, HD800, and so on, because unless the x2 is significantly better than the x1, i feel they're on the same league that the likes of HD600/650...
 
Would be good!

Which is good news since I get to have about 2 months to save up for it.

I do think the X2 would probably be much better. It should be considering how much better the L2 is compared to the L1 and X1. I'm thinking HE-500, HD700 league. Maybe sonewhere in between those mentioned and the summit-fi flagships.

 

[Drrizzt]

We'll find out soon enough with the multiple reviews to come in a near future i guess!

Wow, thanks for informing @Exesteils

Pricing seems interesting on Asian sites (check this web site). That site sells it for 1666 SGD (equals apprx 1333 USD). But according to an European site it seems 299 Euro which translates in to 399 USD. Also the photos on these commercial sites are not belonging to the real product, they are just computer renderings (color, ear-pad surfaces and headband seems slightly different).
 
 
I believe these photos are belonging to the design bench of X2 (source of the photos: avcesar.com)
