Mine are from Komplett, 1790 kr, elgiganten wont be in stock until February.. so yeah scew them.

Some say the new revision has different sound compared to the old revision, more bass heavy, does anyone here have both revisions?
 
Its also interesting how some say the X2 are terrible for gaming and some say they're the best for gaming. Whats up with that?

 
Waiting until February for possible new stock may be a blessing in disguise.
 
I have heard a WOOX pair and two Gibson pairs (A/B/C-ing).  One of the Gibson pairs was much bassier, muddier, veiled, felted, whatever you want to call it.  The other two were very similar.
 
I've only played some Fallout 4 with mine, but they sounded pretty good to me coming from the HD598.
 

   
I would say the X2 is the only headphone I've heard that is great at almost everything. No matter the price.

 
Are you still on pair #5 or have #6 arrived?

I'm on a pair from a third party seller which is almost OK cosmetically and perfect otherwise. The fifth (? I've lost count) pair from Amazon is in the box, I'm waiting for a stock to move a little to try and exchange it once more. If it ends up the same, I will return it and keep a third party one.

Why so many diff pairs?

I've been trying to get a headphone without cosmetic defects (like offset rings), so I keep returning them to Amazon. Doing this since October.

Defects? Like the ring OS popping off or?

I've got both. Old one from the time X2 was released and a new one from September 2015 (USD 188,- new from Elgiganten.se). They sound and look exactly the same, but the new one had glued pads (no glue residue on pad and pad easy to remove).

The glued one is newer than the unglued..

Did you get Elgiganten.se to deliver your X2 to Norway?

No, I live close to the Swedish border and had them delivered to public post office, Strömstad (so called Poste Restante, it's a free service in Sweden).

I was going to say you should try DIGITAL GUY - Woox with no issues about 2 months ago, and they have additional stickers confirming authenticity. They ship from Korea I think but it didn't take long, problem is I don't see them on there anymore. They also gave me a $50 credit when they went on sale like a month later, rare for a 3rd party. If you end up doing this again in the future, I'd recommend that seller if they appear again.

I'm going to get you into the Guinness Book of World Records for most returns of the Philips Fidelio X2.

Why? Do you like them that much? Try another brand without so many problems, you seem mighty fussy. Thought this hobby was about sound not tiny cosmetic issues.
