I agree. Oh man I wish Spotify would stream in higher quality though...

  This sounds absolutely amazing with X2s. The guitar riffs at the beginning, kicking of the drums, bass etc. all sound great. X2 is indeed open-back EDM King. Oh it has female vocal too... Lol. (See, I like popular stuff).

Does any X2 owners also own NAD VISO HP50? Can you please compare?

I had them, I don't anymore. The best I could give you is from recollection. The HP50 is an excellent sound signature, compared to the X2 they will sound very narrow as the X2 is open. It is not a fair comparison each is one of the best at what they are. You would be able to wear the HP50 out and about, if you weren't a little shy about the appearance. I would ask myself if I could only have one what would I use them for primarily, mobile use or around the house.

  What's your location?

I'm in Canada but will be in the States in a couple weeks.  I was hoping to put in an order and pick them up while I was down there but Amazon no longer has them in stock.  21-36 Days out will miss my window

Hi,
 
Just like to share my 2cents.
 
I have just got my X2 yesterday.
 
After reading so many positive reviews about it, I decided to audition it when I was in Taiwan for a 2 week trip in the beginning of January.
 
To be honest, I was not that impressed when I first auditioned it. The bass was impressive, but that was it. To be honest, the noisy environment in that shop did not help.
 
However, after I returned to New Zealand, I decided to take the jump and ordered a pair. And, I could not be happier. The sound is full, lush, and very detailed. The bass is still very impressive, but now I am more impressed with the mids than before. The soundstage is a bit oval shape, but the size and placement of instrument are very impressive as well.
 
I agree that the treble may sound a bit artificial at times. However, I listen to music to relax. If I want to do some critical listening, I would have picked the HD800.
 
I am very happy with my X2. It suits my taste and the purpose of having a headphone that is slightly warm, with a big yet relaxing sound, impressive bass and midrange, and is a true all rounder.
 
Love it!

Thanks SubGuy.

Ordered these a week ago, looking forward to receiving them in the coming weeks. They'll be my first 'open' headphone.

And boy are they open.

This song sounds amazing with the X2

I don't find the x2 to be very genre specific. They do most music exceptionally well. I predict that this hp is about to make some big moves over the next few months...we'll see.

How do you mean? In terms of sales or changes? Mine are in the hands of the carrier expected by Friday, can't wait to hear them. I've got a feeling these are going to be amazing especially at this price point.

Wrong thread. Whoops...

I meant in terms of Sales. Can't wait to see x3 though. Loving this cable btw.
