Hey Wayne, since you now have both the X1 and AD900X + E12 combo, mind providing a comparison when the X1 is burned in? I was planning on upgrading to the AD2000X but the X1 hype train is getting hard to ignore...

Which headphones do you have? What kind of signature do you like?
The X1's signature I would say leans a bit towards the warm side (as the Innerfidelity FR graph would attest), mainly due to the amazing bass. Lots of wonderful quality bass (amazing for open cans). The mids sound neutral to me (ie not recessed), but they are slightly recessed when compared to the ad900x's (the ad900x's mids are probably a bit forward). But the X1 mids are quite tight and coherent, and don't sound distant or veiled at all (thank goodness). There is very little bass bleed into the mids, which is pretty amazing considering the bass. The treble is very nice for me - detailed and extended, but never close to being sibilant. The soundstage is very nice - not as large as with the ad900x, but more coherent with tighter imaging. The overall signature for me is big, bold, immersive, engaging, transparent and non-fatiguing. Kind of like my sportapro's on steroids. Kind of like an open set of WS99's. Kind of like rather great

This song made no sense.... Kinda like Gwiyomi, except it's a group of sillies now, instead of just the 1.

I will indeed do that. Do to circumstances, I can't burn my X1's in as quickly as I would like. I think they may only have about 30 hours of burn in so far (and they are sounding amazing), but yes, I'd like to make that comparison once they are more fully burned in. The AD900X's are amazing off of the E12 though, and have more forward mids/vocals, brighter treble, and larger soundstage than the X1's at this point, but the imaging is not as tight/coherent as the X1's. As of right now, my opinion is that they both rock. But those AD2000X's... I'd sure like to hear them.
One thing that I really like about the X1's is the replaceable cable. I put a cheapo 3' cable on the X1's, so I can wear them portably (the X1's have amazing synergy with the C3 + BH btw). Whereas the AD900X's pretty much have to be used at my computer
