Philips Fidelio X3 Over-Ear Audiophile Headphone Available
These headphones evolve from the highly acclaimed Philips X2HR, and bring a unique blend of exceptional audio performance, comfort, design and build quality to music lovers across North America. Philips Fidelio X3 headphones are available.
From the singer's breath to fingers squeaking on a fretboard, these audiophile-grade open-back headphones with pristine tuning convey every detail. Philips Fidelio X3 headphones boast double-layered ear shells that reduce resonance and vibration, and their neodymium drivers are engineered to tilt at 15 degrees, fitting the natural geometry of your ear for optimal accuracy at high frequencies. The result is a flawless performance with exquisite detail. The drivers are large at 50 mm, allowing full range, spacious, 'audiophile' quality sound, while the diaphragms are composed of multiple polymer layers filled with damping gel to avoid sound leakage. The X3's open-back ear-cup design is strategically enveloped with acoustically transparent Kvadrat speaker fabric, allowing air to flow freely through the fabric, eliminating air pressure build-up behind the diaphragm to create an immersive experience.
Comfort
These over-ear headphones are not only built to sound incredible: they are built to feel incredible too. The outer headband adds a reassuring weight, while the snug fit memory foam ear-cup cushions are ideal for long listening sessions. The X3's soft inner headband adjusts to fit perfectly, offering exceptional comfort thanks to the application of highest-quality materials from European specialists, including responsibly sourced Muirhead leather.
The Fidelio Experience
The Philips Fidelio X3 combines performance, style and comfort to create a uniquely enjoyable listening experience as the music connoisseur's choice, featuring the highest quality components 'end to end'. The Philips Fidelio X3 is the latest version of its hugely popular open-back headset, much loved by both audiophiles and artists for their unique combination of natural, accurate sound quality, extreme comfort and stylish, luxury design. Music connoisseurs will find that the Philips Fidelio experience continues to be built around creating products that inspire a real pride of ownership, focused on three pillars: sound quality, European design and a sensible user experience - with the X3 launching as the flagship for the range.
Philips Fidelio X3 was designed to combine accuracy with generous bass and a warm mid-range - where the focus is on a tight, impactful sound with exceptional separation of instruments and voices, while the high-end of the spectrum is clean, detailed and provides excellent extension. The result is a spacious, large scale delivery with music appearing to extend well beyond the confines of the headset, creating a unique experience that is both authentic and accurate. Designed for flawless all-round listening, the Philips Fidelio X3 is the clear result of meticulous attention to every detail of performance, comfort and style.
The set costs $349.99 USD, starting September 15, 2020.

Oh dear, Hilbert please stop writing silly stuff about things you clearly know little about. A short while ago, you stated that it wasn't possible to hear the difference between 320 Kps and lossless quality of music.
None of the headphones around the £350/$350 cost are audiophile. Popular headphones at this cost include models by Bose, B & W, Sony.
Where does audiophile start? Certaily it's double the cost of these Philips Fidelio X3 headphones. If you are interested in learning more, visit either the Audio Sanctuary or High End Headphones websites

I didn't realise being an audiophile had financial gatekeeping as a necessity.
Also in the link you have provided the cheapest headphones they offer are in the same ballpark of cost as these converting $ to GBP.

Even in your silly web site the starting price is 300 quid, which in USA will be 200$-250$ and 150$ on sale

That's really funny. I can imagine someone spending 2 grand on a DAC getting annoyed at the thought of something sounding great for much much less while being called audiophile.

I have the X2hr, you can found good deal on them regularly on Amazon. Great sound at a good price.
But be aware those are open design can, your surroundings will hear you and you will hear them.
And while they are not bass heavy, they still give you a warm sound.
