If you want more bass, get them.  If you don't, don't.

Oh yeah thanks maybe soon i will try that but not now because my stock earpads is still new and fresh

I'd love some red pads.

How many hours do we need to burn in our x2?

My favorite color combo. Though, Grey pads would look much more pleasing.

Well, X2 has that Bentley style open-enclosure which should look dashing with Grey pads IMO.

So edgy you'll cut yourself on the pads.
In other words, 3edgy5you.

Im considering buying these and i was wondering if i would have to worry about the hm5 pads popping off. Also for those bass plus pads do they have ink bleed as well? I ask cause i seem to recall some people thinking they came from the same manufacturer.

Hey guys!
 
I had the same problems with my X2 (like many others). This blue/black whatever **** ruined tons of sheets and at least my table. So I wrote Philips and told them what happend. They recently answerd me and I sent them to their repair station at the end. I got brand new headphones and indemnity, what is realy client-friendly I must say (they wrote that I could choose one product of their audio section (up to 200€)).
 
Are you guys shure that they will release this (grey) new ear pads? Did they do an official statement or wrote that to a member of this platform?

Hey alex12310 , let me ask you something...

Is there any way to recognise a pair that has this "Ink bleed" issue ? O_o what are the symptoms ?(lol, seriously)

Hello @TAMAL,
 
if you put your X2 (or X1, same problem) on a sheet for a while, you'll have this ugly blue/black stains on it. Also wood is vulnerable to it (for instance a wooden table and so on)

Here a video that represents it very well:

The problems began after a few of months wearing it. I think the origins lies in your sweat and oil of your skin/hair.

I have oily hair. I believe this is causing the ink bleed issue for me. I need to wash my hair every single day. If not, it becomes noticeably greasy. I hardly sweat though unless I'm in an active state. 

On another note. None of my Sennheiser pads bleed, with my same hair, and self. Go figure.

A user here alledgly quoted a Philips employee from an email saying grey pads would be sold in the EU IIRC Q3 of 2015. Successful troll was successful.
