Most of the X2 owners do not experience skin irritation due to earpads.
If someone has a sensitive skin but like the sound of X2, probably worth to experiment with other earpads.
Simple is that.

Well, there is the Bass Plus earpads, or some people managed to force the HM5 pads on.
Alternatively some fabric softener could help. Not a common issue you have.

I'd take daemon advice for the itchy pad problem, just to make sure you get rid of any excess chemicals on the pad and soften it.
Most of us doesn't have problem though, so it might be your skin

+1 No problem here.
 
That said, I hope the couple options given here work for you!

No problem for me so far with the pads being itchy, but it would probably be trivial to do the "sock mod" on these that I have used on my Monoprice 8323's.  I cut a fluffy sock to make a tube about 4 inches long, with elastic on one side (means you have to destroy a pair).  The elastic side goes on the outside, reaching back to the middle of the cup.  The other side gets turned in around the pad and with the X2's could have holes punched and sit in between the earpad and the cup.

Can anyone comment on the sound of Philips Fidelio X2s when plugged to a PS4 wireless controller compared to any other power source like a laptop or a decent phone?

My pair arrived just now, they have gibson on the box and hi res logo but on the headband there is woox .I had a woox pair one year ago that i sent back for the hd600. These seems to have small era pads than woox version and surely a different material.

This is identical to my experience with the x2s.  I remember the first set I had being comfier to wear, like strapping two soft pillows to my head.  The newer set I have are less so, I notice them more when wearing them, but I'm much happier with the sound signature.  If the first set had as much bass weight I would probably have kept them.

too me !

Thought I'd share something, and I'm not sure *why* it's working...
 
I have an older woox pair and loved them out of an iPhone 5s ("warm air" is how I thought of it). But that phone died, and an iPhone 6s is just not delivering the same euphoria. Weird. 
 
I bought Massdrop's O2/ODAC and that helped, but what really did the trick was adding about 20' of ancient Radio Shack generic stereo extension cable between the O2 and X-2's.
 
Go figure.
