How is the wire run over to the right cup? Through the metal tube perhaps?

Does anyone have experience with mod mics on the X2? I'd like to convert move into a headset, but I'm not sure about two things: Where should I attach the magnet and how much does the less l sound leaking get picked up by the microphone (since it's an open design)?

I have used the Vmoda BoomPro with the X2, exactly for the reason that I didn’t want to attach a magnet to the X2. Works great, and the BoomPro is an excellent microphone. Be aware that there’s generic/counterfeit BoomPro lookalikes, which look the same but sound poor.

I was betting you'd be the one to have an answer! (and it's a good answer)

Thanks for the reply, that eases my mind! Where did you attach the magnet to, however? Directly onto the grill or somewhere else? I'm dumb, forgot the BoomPro has no magnet. Oops.

Haha yes, this idea came to mind precisely because of home-office voice chat meetings as well. I'm tired of using my earbuds. Since it's a ModMic, where is the magnet attached to? Directly onto the grill or somewhere else?

Gotta say the X2 through the CTH+SDAC getting a lot playing time during this....

May just be my most shuffle friendly, long-session combo.

I got these for gaming and they're nice. However, as for music, I was wondering which genres these work the best with.

Personally I consider them a good all arounder. Others might disagree. I think it depends on how much of one genre you listen to. Things I listen to consist of anything from ambient to the heaviest things possible. ^^ In the same playlist.

Same here...I set entire library on shuffle and enjoy.

They have brung daily joy to my music since October 2014. Long live the mighty X2!

I feel they can do it all. I just give it a bit more bass depending on the music/song if needed and they just deliver luscious sounds!

I like the trend in last few messages, concerning music genres that sound good (or not) on the X2s. Like other posters here, I've used them for every type of music that interests me, and they always satisfy.

Another way to say that is actually revealing: unlike some other headphones (including ones that are considerably more expensive & sonically better in certain ways), the X2s don't sound different on different genres. They bring the same somewhat bassy, spacious, ear-friendly sound to all music. And that's a key definition of a serious all-rounder (at least it is for me).

I have other headphones that truly are better than the X2s, in addition to being more expensive. Still, whenever I put on the X2s, none of that matters...I just enjoy music. Considering how few headphones are like that, the X2s are in select company IMO.

Whats the latest consensus on the best replacement pads for these X1/X2 outside of the shures as those are very expensive here.My original X1 pads on their last legs as the hd650's remain sat in the box in a cupboard.
