Makings of high resolution audio
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
50mm high power driversEach speaker is carefully handpicked, tuned and tested, and is paired for the most detailed natural sound. The 50mm drivers utilize high power neodymium magnets to reproduce all your music’s dynamics and deliver well balanced crisp bass, transparent mid-range and pristine high frequencies. |
Acoustic open back designAn acoustic open-back architecture eliminates air pressure build-up behind the driver, allowing the diaphragm ample free movement, greatly enhancing sound transparency and smoothening extended high frequencies. |
Layered motion controlLayered Motion Control (LMC) drivers feature a multi-layered polymer diaphragm that encases a layer of damping gel. These layers form a flexible boundary and – together with the gel – absorb and dampen any exaggerated frequencies, resulting in a smooth and flatter frequency response. The result is a more balanced, natural and refined range of high frequency sounds. |
Pre-tilted drivers fit the ears for minimal sound reflectionThe earshells are engineered to tilt at 15 degrees, fitting your ear’s natural geometry and immersing you in a truly precise and unadulterated sound performance. Audio signals are directly channeled into your ears, creating a dynamic and authentic listening experience. |
Cloud-like comfort

|
---|---|---|---|
Self-adjustable hammockThe self-adjustable lightweight hammock features an airy 3D mesh, which is not only breathable, but is flexible enough to ensure a perfect fit – always. |
Breathable velour & memory foam cushionsCrafting the Philips Fidelio X2HR starts with meticulously choosing each material for its functionality and ergonomic comfort. Deluxe memory foam ear-pads are matched with a velour material of optimized density with high breathability, to dissipate pressure and heat for longer-wearing comfort. |
Built for qualityObsession has its advantages, especially if it fuels our passion in bringing you exceptional acoustic performance and best-in-class detailing. For the ultimate ergonomic fit, our newly enlarged headband features a precisely machined external hinge system coupled with metal tubes wrapped in genuine calf leather. |
Double layered earshellsThe Philips Fidelio X2HR's double layered earshells are engineered to reduce resonance and vibration, bringing you flawless sound with genuine precision and uncompromised detail. The solid, layered construction ensures durability, making X2HR the ideal music companion at home. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So? Did this purchase take another step in the right direction?
I think yes for the price point. I'm really not used to cranking the audio up, as my ears are sensitive but the top end is clean on these (I don't mind losing a lil bit of hearing for this quality) The music is clean and distortion just isn't there if you crank em up a lil.
I've read reviews discussing terms like soundstage, forward aiming, trill, V shape (imagine a V curved EQ line)
I don't know what some of them mean but I will say this:
Sound Stage - Wide but laking "Air" as I expected to hear the recordings atmosphere
Vocals vs Instruments - The artist ins't perfectly center and the instruments sound like they are low and to the sides.
BASS - This isn't a super bass heavy set but if you were trying to hear the treble at low levels, the bass seems to mud out the sound. I'm not a bass head so this is MAX bass for me.
These aren't like standing centered between 2 book shelves but they are is for the value. The build is proper with each ear cup housing suspended by rubber struts, although they are comfortable to wear they aren't invisible. I like how easy they are to grab; I keep expecting to grab a slippery plastic finish and I'm quickly met with the tactile ring.
I intend to chase the audiophile experience and purchase a pair of Hifi Man planar headphones and drive it with a matched tube amp supplied audio via a DAC. I want to feel like I'm standing between two bookshelf speakers perfectly aligned with my ears and I'm not sure that's even a thing.
Disclaimer: I'm not exactly an audiophile nor do I have much experience with tons of headphones. That being said, I think these headphones sound great, especially if you can tweak some equalizer settings. Out of the box they were nice, but some of the upper midrange notes were really shrill (really comes out on piano-heavy songs). After adjusting that down I'm happy with the sound. Compared to my cheap gaming and bluetooth headphones, I'm able to pick out a wider range of instruments and sounds in music. They also produce a respectable amount of bass.
One of the main advantages being touted for open-back headphones is the sensation of a wide sound stage, but I'm not really getting that with these. They might sound a bit more open than my HyperX and Sony closed-back headphones but I'd say the effect isn't night and day.
Last note on sound: there's basically no noise isolation with these due to the open-back design. Not a big deal if you're just using them at home, but these wouldn't be good for commuting.
Comfort:
I've put in a few multi-hour listening sessions with these and they're comfortable. The headband does a fine job distributing the weight across the top of my head, and the fit is snug but not too tight for me. My head is 22 1/2 in. (57 cm) around so your mileage may vary. There's not a lot of room for adjustment if your head is much larger or smaller.
Also be warned that these headphones are bulky, so not ideal for listening in bed or with your head against a headrest.
Build quality:
These headphones feel really solid, and I'm confident that the headband can handle a ton of use. Also there isn't much that can go wrong as there aren't any batteries or extra electronics. The only issue I had was the 1/4" adapter. The 3.5mm female end does not fit snugly so when I used the adapter for the first time, I was missing the left audio channel. Buy a separate adapter or a dedicated cable if you need the 1/4" connection.
I've had a fair selection of different headphones, including most of the popular ones; the Audio Technica M50x's, Sennheiser HD280's, my Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro's, Sennheiser HD598's, and Grado SR80's. All of those are decent headphones, and are good in their own ways, but they each have their issues, too. The M50x's wore out fast. The HD280's had ear cups that flaked apart and felt cheap, and were hot to wear. The DT770 Pro's sound good, but have cheap plastic clips holding the sliders together that don't hold up to long-term use, and you really have to always use a headphone amp with them. The Grado's are what I'd consider the best sound quality-wise, but they're kind of uncomfortable.
These headphones (the X2HR's) do their best to alleviate the problems those other headsets have, and they manage to sound the best of the bunch while doing it. The ear cups have a plastic ring, but it's never under any stress so it's not going to be a breaking point over time. The cable is replaceable, so that isn't an issue like it can be with nearly all of the other headsets I listed. The headband on the X2HR's self-adjusts, so it isn't flexing a stress point that will become an issue after a lot of use; it's also really comfortable, and doesn't require any fiddling with it to make it fit right. The ear cups are a soft but firm foam that's also pretty comfortable; they'll likely wear over time about the same as the velour cups on the Beyerdynamic's, and they pick up cat hair pretty badly, but since they don't get hot to wear and the fit of the headphones is so easy you don't adjust them constantly, either.
The good:
Build quality is solid, and they're built to last.
Extremely comfortable and don't require adjustments to get them to fit right.
The sound quality is exactly what I would want from this kind of headphones, and is better than other notable headsets I own at a similar price point.
Very good at 3D sound representation for gaming.
Cons:
The X2HR's are a bit heavy, but they don't feel like it when you're wearing them and I've found them to be comfortable for long periods of time.
Build quality is solid, but without a hardshell carrying case I'd probably leave them home before putting them in a suitcase for a trip.
Overall:
Without getting into stuff like "scintillating mids" or "boomy bass" that's all pretty subjective anyway, for me these are the best sounding headphones I've owned. They give the comfort of Sennheiser sets with the sound quality of Grado's, somehow finding the best of both worlds. If you're not overly concerned with buzzwords and hitting that audiophile-perfect neutral that only appeals to music mixing, or the bone shaking bass that gaming headset makers think everyone wants, these are the way to go.
Other notes:
They do leak a bit of sound, which is expected of any open-ear headset. Not a con, but something to be aware of. I tested the spatial sound on a PC using a Soundblaster X4, with its 7.1 mixing and with Dolby Atmos for Headphones, and both ways were way more impressive than they sounded on my DT770's. I'd strongly recommend using your favorite EQ with them rather than running without, especially if you're using a sound source that doesn't provide one...I tried them on a Fiio E10k, and without an EQ it sounded a bit flat. I used Equalizer APO, and it made a pretty big difference.
Bottom line, these are big winners in both sound quality and comfort. Very, very happy with them.
Top reviews from other countries
The sound quality is amazing. The soundstage is wide and beautiful, and I find myself picking up on instruments and details that I've never noticed before, even in songs I've been listening to for years. In this range of headphones, a lot of reviews will nitpick at things like sibilance or the sound profile of the headphones, but to be honest, even for someone like myself who grew up in music and has a good ear, anything in this range is still going to sound great, so pick a headphone based on your preference. I worried about the bassiness of these headphones which people made out to be a bad thing, but I absolutely love it. They ARE bassy, but the mids and highs are still clear and detailed. At the end of the day, we listen to music to enjoy it, not always to analyze it, and these are great for everyday enjoyment.
While gaming, the soundstage makes for a much more immersive experience, especially for first person shooters. I can hear footsteps better and directions are clearer than closed backs.
All in all, absolutely love these, would recommend to anyone. The ONLY downside is that since they're not made anymore, the earpads may be tough to replace, but as long as you treat them well, they should last for many years.
Archetto metallico, regolazione automatica tramite fascia elastica, i padiglioni sono grandi dal momento che devono contenere l'equipaggiamento mobile da 50mm, coprono l'orecchio nella sua interezza e, i pad morbidi e in tessuto e non in pelle, danno una sensazione vellutata sulla pelle senza scaldare troppo l'area di appoggio.
Il cavo staccabile, che permette di essere sostituito è a mio parere un plus, comunque il suo cavo originale mi sembra di ottima fattura, contatti placati in oro, una dimensione importante e, una clip per arrotolare l'eccesso.
Veniamo al dunque, dal momento che si, l'estetica è importante ma è sempre a mio parere il 30% del prodotto, che di solito lo si acquista per ascoltarlo.
Premesso che non sembrano proprio cuffie da portare in giro, ho risparmiato le prove su smartphone anche se, visto l'impedenza di soli 30 Ohm, probabilmente potrebbero anche funzionare e, sono passato direttamente alla prova di ascolto con la mia postazione sedentaria composta da, PC e DAC/AMP Toppic D3x pro+.
Sono sorprendenti, ho variato gli ascolti che hanno spaziato dal Soft Rock al Metal, dove hanno restituito un suono cristallino e mai banale, con voci e strumenti sempre riconoscibili anche sotto stress ad elevati volumi, mantenuti sempre a livelli abbastanza democratici per ovviare problemi all'udito, una scena sonora degna di un concerto dal vivo.
Musica elettronica, che anche se sempre a mio parere, priva di carattere, fa rendere conto dell'escursione e dei limiti che di sicuro sono sempre e solo umani, visto che lei si riesce a spingere, oltre al livello di sopportazione personale senza perdere una nota.
Di sicuro, la bassa distorsione, la dinamica, la bassa impedenza e il suo design, la rendono una cuffia che merita le 5 stelle senza se e senza ma.
Consiglio di usarla con un buon Dac/Amp per goderne a meglio le caratteristiche, dandogli l'importanza che meritano.
