Not yet that im aware of. The bass pads are though, but only sold with the headphones in the eu amazon.

Do they sell the stock replacement pads anywhere?

  Did I make a mistake on getting the X1's over the X2. I know the X2 are superior in nearly every way, but I got the X1 for half the price.
 
I also got the X1, because all my other headphones lack bass & supposedly the X1 have the strongest bass of them all, including the X2.
Dos the X1 really have an advantage over the X2 in that?

maybe there is no mistake if you got X1 at half price and it is worthed but if you're looking for bass, you should take a closed back cans like bayer COP or ATH M50x

Is anyone running or heard the X2's off of a Gustard H10? I just got a pair of X2's and the Gustard will be here shortly.

I have the Audio-Technica ATH-M50  & it is no contest, the X1 sounds better.
Much stronger bass, much bigger soundstage. The M50 does seem better as a flatter more neutral headphone I guess.
I definitely consider it a upgrade, even though they are both still in the same playing field.

Just received my new X2's... Ok Ok... I should never of sold my old pair. These things are friggen ridiculous! Had a pair of T90's last week which i sold on Gumtree. I actually bought them to replace my old X2. What a stupid idea that was!

Yup, they're pretty damn sexy. I've been playing Bloodborne and Depth with them on all night and now it's time to check out some new music. I absolutely love these things!

Does anyone drive their X2 with the FiiO X3 2nd Gen?  And if so, do you see a benefit from an amp?  Maybe a FiiO E12A, E12 for portability or a Magni 2 for non-portable use.  The X3 2nd gen is rate for headphones from 16 to 150 ohms.  Well within the range of the X2.
 
ny thoughts on this would be great.  Thanks!

To be honest they dont need an amp, a good dac would be more viable. I run mine from my Note 4 aswell and they sound awesome! The X3 would be more then enough to make them shine.. no need for a magni. Waste of money really.

For me it was like getting an instant upgrade to what was already an amazing combo ( fiio X1 plus e17k )

Now I just run it straight off the fiio x3k :beyersmile:
