Definitely one of the best if not the best i have heard, a superb balanced headphone that does everything right with outstanding qualities in soundstage, warmth and imaging.  Read Less

Part of the reason i replaced the l2 was (among other things) the fake leather headphones was flaking all away, that should not be a problem with the x3 although do note that the fabric cover of the x3 attracts all manner of fluff and hair.  Read Less
