Pros & Cons
Pros
I own a few other pairs of wired, open back headphones--all of which were more expensive and are considered more audiophile sennheiser 660s's, hifiman sundara's, and akg 712 pro's. I think that the cable is detachable from the earphone is an interesti... Read More
Bass, mids and treble are excellent. Vocal and harmonica are presented with air and detail.
The fidelio x2hr by philips is a game changer. These are the most underrated headphones of all time. It shines if you're looking for a headphone for a little color or texture to your listening.

Let's get the flaws out of the way:1.
Competitiveness
These headphones are truly a game-changer and i highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch sound quality.
These are also great bass-head cans for those into edm and such.
Crazy thing is, these headphones aren't even that expensive compared to competitors like sennheiser, akg, or berydynamic.
I unfortunately returned them as i was looking for a more competitive gaming headphone, which is why i’m currently using the be... Read More
