Review: In a word................superb and SO underated - Bought these by user reviews , NOT on so called professional reviews on youtube etc, let me give you some background first. I have listened and owned in the past Philips X2, Sennheiser, 580, 600, 650 and 660, Beyers DT 880, 990, Amiron, 1990, T1 first gen, AKG 701, 02 and 12 and K812, various Grados up to the PS2000e, Stax SR202, Lambda signature with tube energiser plus others of varying quality but those are the models i think most headphone enthusiasts will be familiar with. Iam running these through desertcart Music HD into my Audiolab M-DAC via USB Furtech cable and then into my Zen can amplifier and using the balanced connection into the X3's. Iam not using the 3D or X bass function on the Zen can just straight balanced connection using a 2.5mm to 4.4mm pentacon adaptor into the Zen can on 6DB gain. Build quality is excellent, i love the fabric covering as it brings a touch of class to the understated look on these, and yes the heady smell of real leather on the headband, responsibly sourced as well. Cable length is long but i find no negative in that as i do all my listening at home and not on the move, these are not really for portable use. Comfort is very high, ear pads are soft and plush and cossetting, clamp force is quite strong but i find that reassuring, and the issue about the pads riding up under the elasticated band pressure is not something i have encountered. Now onto the sound :) big smile from me as these IMHO are truly superb, sound like a cross between the sennheiser 650 for warmth and mid range and the AKG K712 with its soundstage and bass, using the best bits from both of those and a smattering of qualities from others, these throw a very wide soundstage with superb separation and imaging, these rival the Beyerdynamic T1 for pin point laser guided rock steady imaging, reminding me of them in certain aspects. Open airy with warmth, bass is excellent, not sure where the negative reviews are coming from with regard to the bass on these, not quite X2 territory but VERY close, soundstage is very wide, imaging is superb, vocals upfront and realistic with lots of "body" much like the Sennheiser 600 series, treble is in no way harsh and the sibilance that has been mentioned before by reviewers on these for female vocals iam not hearing on my 55 year old ears. Treble is detailed and airy with cymbals not having that splashy quality but more tactile and realistic. The levels of clarity these produce is astonishing very much like the Grado PS1000e but better than those in all areas. The bottom line is am i happy with this new purchase, YES! 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. Just wanted to add that like other reviewers these do need running in, out of the box they sounded slightly muddy as others have said but after 30 or so hours have transformed into a beautiful butterfly, stick with them , don't judge them immediately. I'm always surprised why manufacturers don't run their headphones in on a test bench before shipping them out, Philips are not the only ones to be fair, AKG are notorious for burning in, just an observation. UPDATE AUGUST 2022 Having lived with these cans for over a year now, these have been my go to headphones I keep coming back to having added other sets to my collection like Grado RS1, HiFi man Sundara , and a few more and the X3 have seen off all the competition , the sound definitely improves with extended break in, I do think there is some snobbery in the headphone Hi Fi world from more established makers and reviewers as to how could Philips make such a great sounding headphone? (How Josh Valour came to his conclusions in his YouTube review is beyond me , all I think is he had a suspect pair or was not burnt in).That's all I'm going to say but my advice would be let your ears be the best judge.....

Superb sound and comfort

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth a try at the price
*by A***N on 16 October 2025*

A pretty decent pair of open backed headphones. Good flat response curve wide sound stage and good instrument placement. They are large and well cushioned and apart from making my ears warm are good for extended listening. They perform ok with the onboard DAC/Amp on my phone but sound much better with a dedicated external Amp.
