If anything, X2 is only ~50g lighter which makes basically no difference.

Listened to the X2 again after 10 hours of burn in. The X2 vocals are less present than on the X1, so I'm finding the X2 cable on the X1 is the best combination to my ears. Everyone has mentioned the miss match of the X1 cable, well the X2 cable fixes that problem and now the bass is as it should be, whilst still keeping the more present vocals. X2 is now going back to Amazon, just need to wait until we can purchase the X2 cable.
Let me apologise first off. I'm not an audiophile so my descriptions might be miss leading, as I can only use laymans terms. I've not seen any graphs but when I look at my equalizer it sounds like upper tremble is less and around 4hz seems less on the X2. I read that soundstage is better on the X2 so that may be why vocals seem more distant. Soundstage seems the same to me but because the X2 is more balance that maybe why people have said this. I must say that my set up is basic just my stereo, laptop through my PA2V2 portable amp. I seem to remember on Tyll's video him saying that the graphs did not match what he was hearing. So that might explain why the graphs don't coinside with what I heard or my knowledge of headphone terminology is not proficient enough. Probably the latter LOL : )
