Philips - Fidelio X1S/93

Philips Fidelio X1S. Too bad they're no longer in production.

And then there's me closing in on 12 years with my Fidelio x1 and fiio e10k. In all honesty you're not better than those chasing ENDGAME. You seem to be doing it as much as they are, you just haven't admitted it to yourself. But that's the neat thing we can all enjoy it how we want without putting others down how they want.

Philips Fidelio x series (x1 or x2). Metal cups, metal headband, detachable cable, nice sound.

My Beyerdynamic have lasted ages. But what I really miss is my Philips Fidelio originals, best headphones I have ever used

I got a Philips Fidelio and they are great!

the philips shp and fidelio models are EXTREMELY comfortable. Basically zero clamping force. Sweet and soft cloth pads. Extremely durable IF taken care of. They will not survive in a backpack without a case though, regardless, they're not designed to be taken outside.

I use a V-moda mic boom with a Philips brand open back headphones (forgot the model name).  Open back headphones will give you a more natural ooen sound as sound pases into your ears and out of the headphones and radiates all around you like real.sound does. Doesn't come at you in 1 direction but all around. A caveat is open backs aren't good to use for people sleeping around you, for edsmple, as they'll hear the game/music too if your volume is high enough but it'll sound amazing if you're only use to closed back headphones. People who produce, play, and mix music nearly always use open backs to get that detailed natural sound. Works great in games too 👍
