I say we gather all the glue and send it to Massdrop so they can make the lower priced Fidelio Xx.

Seriously? Try a hair drier on hottest setting then with a paper towel or small rag rub off the glue from the peg using a dab of mineral spirits. Careful not to get it on other parts if headphone especially the set (far) aside ear pads. Should come off gradually and smoothly. Clean up smell with a little isopropyl alcohol.
PS... Soldering iron is too hot and could damage the underling plastic.
Good call, but I'm going to use my μDremel to drill 5 micron diameter holes into the glue mountains and orally siphon goo gone into the cavities until the offending adhesive abominations have been culled.
Wish me luck.
Yeah, give them manufacturers some slack, they're working hard maximizing their profits instead of delivering a quality product...
How deep does this conspiracy go?!
On topic, I'm curious if other people have had the result that the mids open up more over time?
I'm not even sure what this thread is anymore. One guy going on and on and on about glue, and barely any discussion about the headphones and its sound at all for the past few pages.
Is this Head-Fi or some health forum? If inhaling glue (you're not even sniffing it) for a short period of time is so bad for your body, I think you better filter your whole freaking house and don't leave. There are tons of other bad chemical compounds in the atmosphere I'm sure. Well, I guess if you wear a mask you're fine.
Is this review on Amazon from one of y'all here?

Look at the pictures at the bottom.
I wasn't aware that there's units out there with so much differences. The most alarming is the different pads!
Which pad does everyone have that have glue issues and such. My pads are the dark ones. I think they are preferable.
So let me try something constructive and from the tenor of this forum probably controversial. All of u just plugging the X2s into a PC or into a MAC should probably think about an external DAC. Using an internal soundcard subjects the signal to lots of interference. A good external DAC will give you a cleaner signal. I would make sure it is an Async DAC with 24 bit depth and 192 kHz sampling. Many are also now available with DVD (SACD Format). Also, you need to use the appropriate software (not iTunes on a PC and there's a hires front end you can buy for the MAC version of iTunes). As I said earlier I use Foobar2000 which works well for my headphones and home speakers. But the external DAC is a key component.
How's this for a redirect?
