  Guys, will the 6 KhZ terrible drop become normal after burn-in?Because I am not a basshead boy.

6000hz is more upper midrange.

Sure, but it still sounds like a music from inside a barrel because of this drop.

Update. Received my replacement set. Good news is my left ear doesn't rest against the plastic inner piece so my ear doesn't go numb and fatigued having to move the earcup for comfort. All back to normal. Now we just wait for the grey earpads.

Just out of curiosity, how many sets of x2s have you returned ?

hey guys, im about to pull the trigger on the X2, i own a Grado SR225i, and im looking for a complement headphones, because i love the mids on the grados, i saw alot of reviews that these HP have a really good Soundstage-imaging, so it could be really good with classical, soundtracks, gaming and movies right? thats what grados lacks.. also on the jazz department when the band has 5+ players.. i already have a really good dac, the Bifrost uber, and i have an Little Dot i+ Amp really pimped. i really want to know because at first i was aiming for a beyerdynamics T1 but it was a really big squeeze to my wallet, so if i can save money and still have the 3d experience im looking for that will be great

I don't think you would regret buying the x2, excellent all-rounder and compliment to Grado.
 
These definitely get the most head time out of my ad2000x, grado 325is and x2.

What grey earpads are you refering to?
How to get them? Because i'm searching a par of replacement pads for them, which i can't find anywhere. Sometime they will need ones eventually.

For what it's worth, the Asgard 2 is an outstanding amp for the x2's.

 

[Townyj]

My Concero HP sounds frecking awesome with my X2's To much power for them though, only use it around 15% on the windows slider max. Normal listening is around 10-12%

There is a post here saying sometime after the second quarter.

 

[CaveManta]

Are you guys talking about the extra bass pads? I'm slightly curious about those.
 
Oh, and if you're going to get an X2, I just wanna tell you that these...have...so much bass!

I can see why Tyll calls them basshead cans for audiophiles.

I haven't tried many headphones. I can assure that, in terms of soundstage, X2 > DT770 (closed back), but I wouldn't say that X2 is... that good. DT880 have a wider soundstage while X2 is more tall/deep. With my setup, it sounds right but nothing extraordinary. You might wanna try the Q701 or similar
