Yes they are should be getting tracking info soon

Impression after 10 days of listening -:

• They sound much more open now and sound-stage is amazing.
• The treble is more present now and the female vocals shine.
• The bass is good but messes with the mids.

This maybe due to my brain adjusting to the sound of open headphones but they sound really good now.

Interesting. That's exactly what I feel/hear about mine.

Neither one will put you to sleep and make you feel weird after waking up.

Do they sound the same? What models? Gibsons? Glued? Sound differences?

LOL..he will get Bill Cosby pair

.....actually both are same, my all friends did blind listening tests and all came to same conclusion.

both are Gibson models with one model having easily removable pads. The model with easily removable pads was bought by my friend in USA other i shipped it to India. No sound differences at all and both are glued.

I PM'd Hammy for his thoughts on how to tell if your X2 is a Gibson or WOOX. Paraphrasing our discussion for benefit of anyone interested.  Thanks Hammy!
 
-- The writing on Gibson pairs is whiter than that on WOOX pairs (WOOX is more yellow'ish or even gold).  The differences can be seen in the following picture, with the WOOX version on the right, Gibson on left:

-- The finish/manufacturing on the underside of the outer leather headband is cleaner on the WOOX version.
 
-- The metal ring with writing on it which holds the earcup is a different tone than the metal on the earcup itself on the WOOX version.

Not true.

I have a pair which came in a Gibson-labeled box, and the writing is yellowish, like the right headphone in that picture.

It's clean on my Gibson pair.

It is, on my Gibson pair too..
 
It seems to me like it's less about the WOOX / Gibson branding and more about overall quality control.

Well that sure muddys the waters!  I am just going by the countless examples that you can find ITT and across the internet.  Not sure why your pair would be different.
 
Care to share a picture of what yours look like?

 

[simonwellander]

I was wrong. The text didn't look so yellowish anymore in the light.

Is anyone using the FiiO E18 with the X2?

 

[wwmhf]

Check the box and the phone. If you see WOOX but no GIBSON at all, then it is probably made by WOOX.

Where can I check on the phones?
