The X2s are my favourites. If these are significantly better (more soundstage depth, better imaging and separation, and removal of the grain from the top end) then I *must* have them!

Forget the headphones. I'll take the blonde!

Being an owner of a X2 and A800, I am excited about this! Subbed!

My thoughts exactly

 

[mochill]

OMG

To be honest I don't like the design of X3 and I fear the cloth material will tear in time. I like the new SHP9600 though....

 

[PopZeus]

The X2 is one of the most comfortable, good-looking headphones I've ever had. It's like a platonic ideal in terms of industrial design. I don't hate the X3 design, but it looks it's appealing to more mainstream consumers like B&O.

I prefer the looks of both new models myself.

but you can tell everyone that the price of this headset will be below 4,000 yuan. As a new flagship, this price should be said to be very tempting and worth looking forward to.

That's a lot of yuan.

Just because i got asked elsewhere. Yeah its google translated.
Picture with the ear cups.

On August 23-25, 2019, the 4th Z·HiFi Experience was held in Beijing.

Philips brought a variety of new HiFi headphones, including the high-end model Fidelio series new flagship headset X3

The Fidelio X3 HiFi flagship headphones feature an open acoustic design with a 50mm high quality tandem drive unit for a wide range of music. According to Philips Headphone Product Manager, Philips first used a balanced interface on the Fidelio X3 to provide a better guarantee for better sound quality. The multi-layer drive unit diaphragm technology of the headset provides accurate sound and reproduces high fidelity music.

The price has not been disclosed

in addition to the classic model SHP9500 The new upgraded version of the headset - SHP9600, the product is still the main entry into the HiFi market.

A quote from a chinese forum " Some products can only be imagined and cannot be heard, for example 9500/9600" Not sure if asking or a statement due to language barrier.

Sure, but I'm not sure I like having something that stretchy and thin over my headphone cups... I can imagine it'd tear when I bump something remotely sharp on it.

I've been looking to replace my X2s for a while now. Fingers crossed these improve on them!
