Ventilation on Philips Fidelio X1 vs X2

[CuriousN]

Does Philips Fidelio X1 (or X1s) have better ventilation than X2 (or X2HR)? I would like to prevent my ears from getting hot while listening for hours, so I would like to pick the more breathable headphone.

I think they are about the same. Do you currently have the X2HR? If not then all of them vent pretty well as they are not sealed nor leather pads.

I don't have any of the Philips Fidelio headphones at the moment. I am deciding which ones to get.

I've heard the X2 and X2HR/27 and prefer the X2HR. It has more bass impact and less distortion.
