Original L2 MSRP was $299, but it dropped pretty quick after that.

Yeah, I paid $30 for my L2

It’s a nice headphone, but no way would I have paid $300!

Yep, i agree. No way they are worth 300 bucks. At a $100 they a fair price.

You mean X2 or L2?

First pair of L2 I got I paid $130 new, and I thought that was a fair price (at the time they were normally going for $200). I then bought a new backup pair when amazon had them for $65. My X2HR I got for $99 from Amazon.

Ah, gotcha.

As nice as the L2 is, I think a fairer price would have been $139-$149 retail. It’s nice to see that the market had corrected by the time you got yours.
$65 is an absolute deal, so you made out like a bandit on that one

X2

Depends on who you ask, I originally didn't really like X2 at all, but now they have replaced things like LCD2C, HD660 and DT1990 for me. So... It's not that they are technically superior, just more enjoyable for me.

I own a pair of LCD2C, and even though they are technically better in a couple of areas, I still get more fun and overall enjoyment out of the FIDELIO X2.

So, when you put them on you are greeted with that music?

No the music plays when they arrive but only on the Chinese models.

I got the SHP9600 to try. It sound pretty good! I actually enjoy it much better than the SHP9500 due to its less treble energy and smoother sound. The details are all still there but unlike the SHP9500, it is less fatiguing to me.
