A “back of the envelope” method to consider if the aim is to measure a headphones neutrality. E.g., not over emphasizing any aspect of the frequencies response, not adding a signifiant amount of distortion. The methods to measure & reproduce (synthesize) this less cognitively biased method...

Yep they were HE400. Sounded very good but too " clunky" to wear for anything but sedentary listenning. The X2's are as " clunky" looking though noticeably lighter on the head.

What other open back dynamic headphone ,within the same price range, do you suggest competes with the X2 for low end production. FYI, it won't have a smaller driver.
