The Philips Fidelio X2HR headphones are aimed at demanding music listeners who seek high-quality sound and comfort during use. They are ideal for listening to music, watching movies, or gaming, and offer lively and natural sound, deep bass, and a spacious stereo field. Additionally, their ergonomic design makes them comfortable for long-term use, and their construction materials are durable and of high quality.
Each speaker is selected and tuned with tremendous care and subjected to thorough checks and comparative tests to ensure it delivers absolutely detailed and natural sound.
The 50 mm drivers use high-power neodymium magnets to reproduce all the dynamics of your music and provide balanced, crisp bass, penetrating midrange, and crystal-clear high frequencies.
The open-back acoustic architecture minimizes air pressure buildup behind the driver unit, allowing the diaphragm to move freely, significantly enhancing sound transparency and smoothing out extended high frequencies.
The Layered Motion Control (LMC) drivers feature a multi-layer polymer diaphragm that encloses a damping gel layer.
These layers form a flexible separation point, which, together with the gel, absorbs and dampens any excessive frequencies, resulting in a smooth and more even frequency response. The result is a more balanced, natural, and refined high-frequency range.
The headphone covers are designed with a 15-degree tilt, matching the natural geometry of your ear and immersing you in truly accurate and unaltered sound performance. The audio signals are channeled directly into your ear, creating a dynamic and authentic listening experience.
The self-adjusting lightweight headband features a 3D mesh, which not only allows for airflow but is also flexible enough to always ensure a perfect fit.
The creation of the Philips Fidelio X2HR begins with the meticulous selection of each material based on functionality and ergonomic comfort. The luxurious ear covers made of soft foam combined with a velvety lining of optimized density that allows air flow, absorb pressure and heat, ensuring comfortable long-term use.
High-resolution audio provides optimal sound performance, reproducing original recordings from master studio copies with greater fidelity than 16 bit/44.1 kHz CD formats. This uncompromising quality makes high-resolution audio the best companion for music lovers. Fidelio headphones meet the strictest standards required for the high-resolution audio quality seal. Whether you are enjoying your collection in high-resolution audio or a more conventional music source, the smooth extended high frequencies of the Fidelio headphone series help you enjoy your music even more.

Unbelievable product for the price of 120€. The quality of construction and sound is better than much more expensive headphones. I would easily buy them for 300€.
Amazing headphones, high fidelity sound! Full, vibrant, and crystal-clear sound throughout the entire spectrum. Also great for gaming as I have connected them to my PS4, you can accurately hear where every sound is coming from, even the slightest noise. But these headphones are mainly for music... I really wonder how someone can compare them to €20 headphones!! For example, I own JBL headphones worth €80 and they are far inferior to the Philips... In order to understand the quality of the Fidelio headphones, one must listen to high-quality audio files, such as FLAC 24-bit and well-recorded ones... If you listen to, for example, "Brothers in Arms" by Dire Straits (a 350 MB FLAC file), you will feel like Mark Knopfler is singing in your room!!
I have gone through several headphones. From the cheapest to some very high-quality ones. From this perspective, I am lucky, as I have an idea of both the comfort that a headphone provides and its sound.
I had been eyeing the Philips Fidelio X2HR for a while, as I had heard great things about them and saw some reviews. At some point, a friend of mine who is involved in high fidelity, both in headphones and speakers, had a spare pair and sold them to me.
When I received them, I already had the following from Audio Technica:
Audio-Technica ATH-ADG1X

Open-back, comfortable, and relaxing headphones, which I have reviewed. However, I damaged the cable and they became unusable, as well as the:
Audio Technica ATH-AG1X
https://www.skroutz.gr/s/12742071/Audio-Technica-ATH-AG1X-Over-Ear-Gaming-Headset-me-syndesi-3-5mm-Kokkino.html
Closed-back headphones, which I have not reviewed but were my main headphones for a long time. Both had initial prices starting from 200 euros and above, and in Greece, they were around 350 euros for the open-back ones. I used both of them daily for several hours from 2020-2021 and onwards.
Before those, I had various headphones, including the Cloud II and Cloud Flight, which I used the most, all connected to a Soundblaster G6.
So, buying the Fidelio, I expected to hear something very powerful. Unfortunately, things were disappointing. Very poor, muddled sound, without body, without naturalness, whether I listened to them or the Cloud Flight.
1) Compared to the closed-back Audio-Technica headphones, it's like day and night. With the Fidelio, all the sounds became dull, a really dry thing without liveliness. First disappointment.
In Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, the rain and its peripheral effects disappeared, and it seemed like they were replaced by the sound of burning wood in a fireplace.
The bass was not there like with the Audio Technica, and the sound, although it increased in volume as they are more sensitive, as it seems with these particular headphones, it lost in everything.
Well, they definitely don't excel in sound directionality and being able to hear where things are coming from.
I thought, okay, let's listen to some music. Unfortunately, the same exact conclusions from listening to music.
2) The headphones are very heavy. And not only that, they are also very tight. Let's say the weight is something that can be tolerated, they are indeed high-quality in all their parts, even the cables are top-notch, and let's assume that you make the compromise and endure it for that.
What cannot be endured is how tight they are on the head, without the ability to adjust the height to prevent them from squeezing too much. After a while, they caused me a lot of discomfort and pain in my ears, especially because I wear glasses at the point where they touch the back of the ear.
I don't know if I have been unfair or not, without any bias and with every good intention to overlook the things that bothered me, I have to say that for 90 euros, they might be a recommendation under certain conditions compared to what is available in the category, but only for music. Definitely not for gaming. Not at all.
In any case, if I knew what I learned after using them, I would not recommend them in any case, especially for prolonged use.
Unfortunately, these headphones are poorly designed in terms of ergonomics, they have not taken into account the individual characteristics of each user, with nothing special in terms of sound and relatively heavy weight. I don't remember having such a difficult experience with other headphones. The sound quality may be good, but the ergonomics are not. So, a big no from me.
I was a long-time user of Sony's expensive headphones. One of the two wireless headphones I had broke, probably due to water damage, so I decided to buy these particular headphones solely because they had excellent reviews for their price. Unfortunately, I was immediately disappointed after the first try.
Let's start with the bass. I was already prepared for the fact that these headphones wouldn't have as good bass as the Sony ones, but I didn't know that the difference would be so significant. I tested them with very low frequencies, deep and mid bass, and at high but normal volumes, they crackle and distort. I was immediately disappointed just because of this.
The high frequencies are indeed excellent as advertised by the company, as well as the mid frequencies, which are very good.
Personally, I would like to return them and buy a Sony headset again, but it's too late. I would give them 1 star because I have abandoned these headphones on the shelf, I will only use them if necessary and if...
Nevertheless, I rate them with 3 stars. I consider it my own mistake for not doing proper market research before purchasing them, so I am trying to rate them neutrally and not based on my own needs. These headphones are not intended for users like me who seek the best music quality, but rather to primarily support deep and rich bass. However, I believe that even these headphones, designed for pure quality sound, should have slightly better bass. Additionally, there is no sound isolation at all.
I provide these ratings based on what I consider a good hi-fi headset. Scale 1-10 (1: very poor, 10: perfect for hi-fi):
Bass: 8/10
Sound isolation: 1/10
I have had them for 1 month and they are very good headphones, but they need some good adjustment and preferably download the SteelSeries Sonar program in order to have the ability to parametric Equalizer for more detailed adjustment. (the peaks are at 5KHz and 9.5KHz and a little at 14KHz)
#Update 11/4/2023
*If you want, try the settings I have made based on the screenshot:
- Peak = +2dB // Freq 40Hz // Q 1.0
- Peak = +1dB // Freq 75Hz // Q 1.0
- Peak = -1dB // Freq 900Hz // Q 1.0
- Peak = -2dB // Freq 1.60KHz // Q 1.0
- Peak = -3dB // Freq 2.70KHz // Q 1.0
- Peak = -2dB // Freq 3.80KHz // Q 2.0
- Peak = -9dB // Freq 5.00KHz // Q 3.0
- Peak = +5dB // Freq 7.00KHz // Q 3.0
- Peak = -9dB // Freq 9.50KHz // Q 3.0
- Peak = -3dB // Freq 14.0KHz // Q 4.0
Very reliable headphones with high-quality sound. Literally, their sound is fantastic, and the quality is solid, although a bit heavy compared to other models or different brands like Sennheiser and BeyerDynamic. However, I have been amazed by their sound isolation and crystal-clear resolution. Specifically, in the last 3 years, I have tried hundreds of headphones at this price, and nothing comes close. With a little more money, there are the Sennheiser HD 599, but in my opinion, there is no significant difference. I should mention that they were purchased about 2 years ago from abroad. Also, the passage of time has not affected them at all, neither in appearance nor in sound quality. In other words, they are like new. Now, of course, I recommend waiting a bit to get them in a good deal below €85. Personally, if their price drops, I will buy them again, this time for studio use.
I have them along with a Sound Blaster G6 sound card and the result is perfect....
1. Excellent in terms of build quality (they have fallen 5 times and they don't feel it)
2. They have crystal clear sound... you can hear the bass, midrange, and treble clearly...
3. However, they are not very lightweight... they might tire you after hours.
4. They have good contact with the head and enough space for the ears to be comfortable without being squeezed.
5. They do not have good sound isolation from the surroundings (they are over-ear open-back, so it's logical) I chose them because I wanted to hear what's happening around me... so I don't deduct a star for this reason because it's a characteristic of headphones in this category, as it is their technology
If you want headphones that make you enjoy your music, these are the best at this price!
Certainly one can find headphones in this price range with equally balanced response across the spectrum, and with equally precise and powerful lows or even better, but not with the amazing imaging and exceptional soundstage that these specific headphones offer, because they will be closed-back, so they will inherently lack in that aspect, no matter how hard they try, for example, the AKG K371 or the Cooler Master MH752/MH751 (which are rebranded Takstar Pro 82). On the other hand, you can find open-back headphones with maybe equally good imaging and soundstage at around the same price, for example, the Sennheiser HD 599, but they will lack in the accuracy of low and mid frequencies. And all of this is not by chance. In reality, the X2HR headphones are in a different category, when they were first released their price was close to $450, and even today for some strange reason it fluctuates in various countries.
As for the comfort, I would summarize it as follows: heavy on the eyes, light on the head. I have worn them continuously for four hours without being bothered at all. And I wear glasses too. The memory foam combined with the fabric does a very good job.
Also, their cable is not only detachable but also with a simple 3.5mm jack, without any peculiarities or exclusivities. So you can replace it with any other cable you like, or even attach a microphone for conferences or gaming.
To cut it short, if you are a guilty type, you can consider them a STEAL at 120 euros. I, during these two weeks that I have had them in my possession and enjoyed them, consider them a GIFT so as not to feel guilty.
P.S. I would suggest to the good people at Skroutz to remove from the questionnaire the question about how well a pair of headphones isolates environmental sounds. When we buy open-back headphones, especially bulky over-ear ones, we don't get them to wear on our heads instead of a helmet so that we don't get hurt when we fall off our bike, nor to not hear the dog barking on the balcony across. We get them to enjoy their scenic presence, the air, and their liveliness in our living room. This question is irrelevant and unfair to the half of the over-ear headphones circulating on the planet. It would be better if you informed us about it in the product specifications: Dear customers, beware! These headphones are open-back, know that if you listen to death metal, your grandma will be scared, and that you won't escape from the dog across. Put double glazing and get in-ear Bluetooth headphones with ANC for this job.
In one year, the port where the audio cable is connected broke. It only plays through one headphone, for use inside the house on a computer, carefully and protected, they were spit on for fun. I had AKG for 12-13 years, the plastics had melted and it was just expected wear from use and the headphones sounded like the first day.
Awesome soundstage and very comfortable despite being a little heavier than usual. The bass is just right for me at least. Highly recommend it
Satisfying sound, full-bodied. Paired with iFi Zen Dac V2, it drives them very well and with sufficient power. It's perfect for music with drums, vocals are very clear. For softer listening, I believe you should look into Sennheiser.
A little heavy and big, but they make the sound sound exceptional as if you are not wearing them but you hear the sound from a 5.1 sound system. Beautiful and sturdy. Their Memory Foam is worth every penny!! I highly recommend them without reservation!!! Search to find them...
I cannot understand why these headphones do not exist in Greece, and I bought them from abroad since everyone praises their sound, amazing soundstage, V shape sound fun. Perfect for games and movies. Their bass for Semiopen is amazing. Compared to Beyer 990pro and Audiotechnica ATH, AKG K series, they are definitely better for the price. Okay, they don't reach the level of Sennheiser 6 or 7 Series, but it's logical, different prices.
I will give them one star because, as a friend also said, I am overly favorable... The reason is simple, they are not suitable for music and the excessive bass that interferes with the mids makes them bad for fast-paced songs, especially classical music.
Owner for 1+ year, now remembered to bring them to Greece through skroutz. Anyway...
For someone who comes here shopping for audiophile headphones, that's how the review will go.
Bass monsters and crazy soundstage. Mids and highs are there, especially the highs since it's a V-shaped sound, and they don't disappoint. You'll put on songs to listen to and you won't want to stop. We're definitely not talking about monitor headphones, if you're looking for flat and neutral sound for mixing and production, go elsewhere. These add color and are only for playback.
They are comfortable but after a few hours they can be tiring, mainly because they are built like tanks and weigh quite a bit. Give them a quarter of an hour after wearing them so that the memory foam can warm up from your head for a perfect fit. Alternatively, you can remove the suede pads they come with and switch to something leather (like the brainwavz), but there you should know that the bass will shake your head.
They are definitely worth the purchase for headphones that you will buy once and maybe never look for anything else.
The best I have ever bought in terms of headphones for music
