Hey anyone recently purchase a philips x2 on amazon? Amazon seem to have an issue with the ear pads being glued onto the headphone. I purchase mine through amazon llc and hopefully my headphone don't have that glue issue.

That headphone and another one I can't remember are under review right now so something up.

The other one is HD600.
Well, once someone reported a issue of defect item and when Amazon confirms it, it will temporary suspend the sale. This does not mean the other ones it sells have the same problem.

What I'd really like to know is whether:
1. only the x2s with glued earpads have sound quality issues, or if there are unglued x2s that also have SQ issues
2. all x2 with glued earpads have sound quality issues, or if only some of them do.

Basically how do I know if I have an X2 with SQ issues if I don't have another "good" x2 to compare with.

Just putting it out there in case someone somehow knows, or sees a solid trend.
Thx!

What's your S/N? Maybe we should compare production numbers. I'm S/N PY1A1543017069. UPC says X2/27 and the cups are glued.

I'm not sure if mine are sonically defective. I think they sound pretty good after a few days of use. But the above is my S/N.

Ok, seems like the issues are related to ones that say: (Imported by) "Gibson Innovations", on the bottom of the box.

Yup, mine are Gibson and have mismatched ear cups (different foam densities) and are glued.

Has anyone contacted Philips regarding this? If Gibbson would be importing new ones than i doubt this issue would be resolved before 31st Jan so that we can get replacements.

Mine also say Gibson but I have the correct pads on mine (I think). My serial number on the inner band of my headphones say Woox

If I remove the cup and the white covering over the driver has a slight depression (not a puncture), is that a problem?

Yes Aladdinsane the X2 forum here has gone Insane.

I have the Gibson one with the glued pads. The sound is really good but how am I supposed to know if even the sound quality is comparable or less than the pre-Gibson ones? Seriously thinking of returning them. I feel a bit shortchanged especially since I paid the full price of 300 for them.

That's my fear. The sound is great and I think I have the velour pads... Mine are also glued on.
