Headphoneus SupremusMusic And Measurements
I just picked up a set. Only one tiny little negative aspect to them. I find female vocals slightly recessed.
But all the above points are valid. I would add build quality as well. These things are built like a tank. QC is important to me when i pay over a 100 quid on headphones.
Interesting. Fwiw, this reviewer did not come away with as positive an impression. And found them a bit over-bright in the treble.
Wheezy is a fan of the Harman curve though. So he probably will tend to prefer somewhat bassier cans, with perhaps a bit less brightness than a typical audiophile.
I know the OP doesn't want to talk sound, but based on looking at the Rtings plots, I would be inclined to put the Philips X2HR in the lower-volume listening category, due to their apparent brightness in the sibilant range between 5 and 9 kHz.
