I had a pair of X2’s for years after being gifted them from a friend. They were my daily drivers and were subject to thousands of hours of constant listening daily.
In the end, the only thing about them that gave up was the headband. The drivers remain to this day, some of the best sounding headphones I have ever owned.
The X2HR’s continue on the X2’s legacy of being OUTSTANDINGLY comfortable for long-term (12hr+) listening with an open soundstage well balanced towards general media consumption. The X2HR also fixes a number of issues with the X2’s headband that lead to its reduced durability over time while still maintaining the same comfort.
Since you can’t really get the X2’s anymore, the X2HR is quite literally as good as you’re going to get for this archetype of cans, and I really can’t recommend them any higher for someone who is an extremely heavy user and needs something that isn’t going to destroy their skull when worn for long periods of time.

First of all, this headphone is crazy comfortable – I can wear this for the whole day and not get any headaches or ear pain.
Sound-wise, these headphones sound really good to me, but they’re my first pair of open backed headphones so I can’t comment on it too much.
Build quality is pretty solid too, with removable earpads. But so far I’ve only found one other manufacturer thats selling replacement earpads with the same clip mechanism as the stock ones.

The build is very very well made. A very solid build headphones.
Sound! The audios are crisp and clear. I can hear details that I didn’t hear with my Creative Aurvana Live!2 !!!!
Earpads are comfy but not sure how they hold up to sweat. And they are detachable.
HOWEVER, the box came with masking tapes, dust, dents, etc. that seem to indicate this set is not new. The headphones were covered in dust as well.
Very disappointed with Amazon.

Had my eye on these for a while and am so glad I finally ordered them. I have a pair of Audio Technica M40X and they’re uncomfortable as hell (although they also sound very nice indeed), so I wanted a large but light, around ear headphone.
I put on a couple of songs I know like the back of my hand and was amazed to hear things I hadn’t heard before. It took me by surprised to the extent I actually laughed.
Plugged directly into my phone and laptop they seemed quite quiet, so I tried them on my stereo amp and they sounded much better. Using a headphone amp with my phone really brought them to life, though. So even though these are quite a low load, I’d definitely recommend using a headphone amp with them.
They have a nice, tight bass for open-backed headphones which tend to lack bass overall, so if you like some bass to your music, go for these.
I can’t comment on the ‘wide, forward soundstage’ I’ve seen others mention in reviews as no matter which headphones I use, the sound always seems to be at the rear of my head. This is more a problem with how I personally hear music than with the product itself. I’m sure I can’t be the only one?
Anyway, definitely buy these. You won’t regret it.
