They aren't OEM pads, so who knows if the sound will be the same.
Going by the ad description though, I can say for a fact the eardpads on my X2 aren't "Material: flannel + sponge"
I doubt they're actually flannel, probably a translation issue. Flannel is not exactly a common pad material and they don't look flannel from the photos. Still might not be OEM, though they certainly look closer than other replacements I've seen
I too doubt it, in the pictures they doesn't look flannel at all and the earpads are cheap too considering OEM earpads usually cost a kidney.
They look like cloths, or cotton? And more than 10 available also raises alarm too.
"more than 10 available" is reason for concern? I do expect them to be mass-manufactured and not hand-woven by chinese grandmas. In the end there were definitely more than 10 Philips headphones manufactured, too.
It's entirely possible the seller got their hands on a bunch of OEM pads. Despite Philips' apparent unwillingness to make them easy to buy there's a factory out there somewhere making a ton of X2 earpads
HD800s sound more spacious, more holographic, that’s obvious. X2 sound very large (larger than many headphones) but is limited in term of depth and imaging: having said that, X2 is more musical than HD800s (which is always « analyzing » music).

I've tried many headphones and none of them surpass the X2 soundstage. I think HD800S will be my next. As much as i like the soundstage and 1.5k hz bite (sounds fun with electro guitars), i find X2 weak in a lot of fronts like sub bass, imaging, treble. My 770 more resolving and less fatiguing than these. I hope i will not find HD800S boring. I enjoy detail, treble and soundstage though.

I've been using my X2HR's to watch movies with on my LG C1 and they are amazing! Honestly i'm enjoying using them way more than surround sound speakers.
