## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Simply brilliant! - Simply put, the best headphones I've ever owned and well worth the 110 I paid, thanks desertcart! These are what I would call 'fun' in their response. You can get "truer" units with a flatter response curve, but these give rich plentiful sound that is more akin to being in a room with a decent speaker setup, than wearing headphones. Bass is well defined, and not overwhelming. Kids are clear and rich. Treble, which I am sensitive to, is not too much and if not absolutely Cristal (if I am being super critical), is bang on to my taste without having to play with the EQ. The clarity is simply incredible, even using my phone (but note the 3m cable is not ideal for this use case). Build quality is spot on, even the cable is great. They are heavy in the hand but very light on your head and very soft around your ears. As a glasses wearer, and having a larger head, I find it hard to find comfort in a pair of headphones, but again, these are the most comfortable units I've ever encountered!!! Being open can design, some sound is leaked, so public use, i.e. train, you want something else... However for home use you would be hard pressed to get better for the money, I would suggest these are worth 150 of anyone's money easy, even if the RRP is a bit of a stretch. The open can design however, means I can listen to whatever I want and still hear others, the OH and the kids etc, without needing to remove them, which can be useful. The 'stage' of these is again, simply incredible... Wearing these you can get a real sense of direction of sounds and find yourself fully immersed. Whether you're listening to say, the Doors and listening to Jim Morrison's whisper track, clear as day during riders on the storm, or using them for gaming, if the sound profile suits you I am sure you will be blown away, at least I was. If you are looking for a gaming headset, or do VR and want immersive sound, look no further. Forget all these poor quality gaming headset s and myths over 5.1 and 7.1 headphone units, this will have better quality and all you need is a Vmoda mic or modmic to make it into a super-decent gaming headset. Personally I can't see the point in multiple driver headphone units because you only have two microphones in your head (your ears). What gives sound 'direction' is actually how the sound waves are manipulated by the direction and your ear itself (hence why our ears are not just flat dishes, evolution of ear shape was not simply accidental, lol). I have worn a number of headphones that are more expensive even, yet have not performed like this. Now they seem to have fixed initial quality issues from a couple of years back these are simply great, highly recommended!!!
Review: ✅ Highly Recommend, Besdies One Little Con... - So there's a lot of pro's to these headphones. They're well made, not too heavy, comfy to wear with nice cushioned pads, and feel durable. Fits my head fine with glasses, which is good as some headphones can dig your frames into your temple. As they're fully open back, they function well as you can still hear sounds outside the headphones just fine, which may be needed depending on your circumstances. Sound quality is really good overall. I use the Dolby Access app on Windows, and with that, extends the already big soundstage of the headphones even further. So for getting into movies, games, they're great. Certain sounds have a good distance, as opposed to everything sounding likes its going direct into your head. Anywhooo, the con. The pads on these things attract absolutely everything. Dust, fluff, hair. I don't even know where this comes from as my rooms always clean. You can take the pads off easily to wash them, but still. I would also recommend lint rolling them often as they need it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Whats the difference between the x2 and x2hr's?**
A: None apart from the name.  I own both.  Philips changed their manufacturer prior to the release of these and the quality dipped hugely for a while.  Many believe the introduction of the X2HR was an effort to get beyond the sudden drop in build quality with a re-label.  Having owned and listened to both, I am firmly in this camp.  Fortunately the build quality got back to where it should be, and these are a great pair of headphones.

**Q: Buying for a desktop pc, what difference will i get by buying dac with these headphones?**
A: So if you have a soundblaster or equivalent then you probably wouldn’t need to buy a DAC. If you’re talking about buying a DAC instead of connecting to the motherboard sound again it depends on the motherboard but assuming you don’t have a top of the range motherboard with top spec sound card you will get a vastly better sound from a DAC. The amount of difference you get will vary wildly on the DAC you buy. A Fiio K3 is a great starting point but if you can push a little more cash to the DAC then something like an iFi Zen DAC will transform your sound over the onboard sound.

The differences will be a much more natural sound, clear bass mids and treble. More power (although the X2’s don’t need it so much as they are easy to drive). More detail, less electrical interference, more connectivity options for different headphone types such as balanced ones if you buy a balanced DAC (like the Zen). Just overall everything better.

**Q: Can anyone recommend a shorter headphone lead for these, about 1 to 1.2 Metres,  of suitable impedence but not overhyped expensive ones.**
A: I use the KabelDirekt Pro, does a great job.http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0071MAQZ4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00

**Q: How long is the warranty on these?**
A: If you're in the EU then it's 2 years manufacturer's warranty no matter what anyone tells you. It's EU-wide law to provide at least 2 years of manufacturer's warranty.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ XRHR. Brilliant treble.
*by R***D on 24 November 2025*

By far the worst headphones I've ever heard. 5 stars because its very detailed above 180k and fun. I'll burn these in for a while and reevaluate. Basically if you need more high frequencies as I do, then you can't really go wrong. construction wise , not too heavy, easy on the ear like a physio.
