Folks, I'm looking for a low budget substitute for my Fidelio X2. Would appreciate any suggestions or leads to any seller offering a budget open backed headphone for sale, provided it has a similar overall sound to the X2.

Thanks in advance,
Cheers

If u want similar range as X2, I would suggest Sennheiser Hd650 or Hifiman He400s.

Thanks.

Thanks for your suggestions, but I'm only looking at lower budget substitutes to the X2, as I just can't seem to live with IEMs' soundstage in general.

Thanks again, cheers.

Edit > Unless of course, I invest in a TOTL IEM like the Noble K10 or the like, which I shall be able to afford after selling my car.

I am currently using sansa clip +.
Now want to upgrade. So I am now considering xduoo x3.
Will it be a substantial upgrade??
Or tell me if you have more suggestions.

Vishal.
Happy listening.

Haven't listened to the Xduoo X3, but from what I've read online, should be a definite step up from the sansa clip.

The FiiO line up should also be worth considering, and having listened to them all, and currently using the X3 'classic' for over two years, I can vouch for its value for money. The current gen FiiO X3 should also be a great value, at a slightly higher price than the Xduoo.

But I suggest getting a demo first if possible.
Cheers

I strongly second this suggestion, especially when it comes to DAPs. (For easy to drive IEMs, the Sansa Clip is a very strong performer IMO. When I reviewed the xDuoo X2, I couldn't decide on a clear winner. My point is, do not make a decision without an audition if "better sound quality"(however you define it) is your sole purpose. You may come away disappointed because the IEM/HP you pair with it matters.
 
Some reasons to purchase without an audition(as is the case sometimes) include:

1. Insufficient volume
2. UI/Customization features
3. I/O port requirement
4. Battery life
5. Reliability/Build-quality

If any of the above are part of your primary reason to purchase a DAP, then the absence of a significant jump in sound quality will not be a disappointment.
 
And if possible, volume match with a test tone at the start of your audition. It would barely take a minute but would make a significant difference.

Philips doesn't sell the Fidelio X2 here in India, so you might have to check out eBay 's Global Easy Buy site, or try to import by ordering online. I got mine personally on a trip to the US last year.

Although I did see a couple of online postings for used X2's on sale if you don't mind second hand.
