Can anyone compare these to the Philips X2 Fidelio?

Sould be very similar in performance. You may get more bass response from the Phillips.

There may be....i am conditioned to think that 20 bucks more means something a bit additional, perhaps. Maybe the other model has a bigger sound.....however, maybe they are essentially the same. If you find any info, please let me know. Thanks!

They are in my opinion the exact same. I use the TSI 400's with a CS 10 center and a Polk 10" sub, and Polk in the back, and an Onkyo head unit. The TSI's have a great mid and highs and are said to have great bass(I keep my sub at tolerable levels). The bass coming from the TSI's and sub is incredible!! Movies or music, they rock!!The specs are basically the same but the TSI's are "newer" with piano finish and such. I am very happy with them!!!

There no difference but my experience was not very good this product only lasted 2 months and it stop working sound quality was not the greatest. A lot of time one side play louder than the other.

I have these headphones with the Fiio X3 and they work absolutely amazing. I am no audiophile but they sound amazing to me.

I haven't used the X2. I have the X3 and really like it although my husband sometimes complains it is hard to hear me. Occasionally I have trouble restoring a connection but it usually doesn't take very long. Overall I am very happy with it.

The Cambridge is definitely a better preamp than the one in a standard receiver. Whether or not you can hear the difference will depend on how much better it is than the preamp in your Marantz. I would say that if your Marantz is near their top of the line quality, then you might not hear much improvement. If it is a budget quality model, you would probably notice an improvement. Obviously, your phono cartridge quality will make a world of difference also. Good luck!!! PS Be careful to order a preamp that plays the type of cartridge you have- moving coil or moving magnet. I bought the Cambridge that can play both, but some units don't. The Cambridge is definitely a better preamp than the one in a standard receiver.

It is hard to tell, you should be more forthcoming about the speakers. Although I'd recomend to take a look at XPA-2 instead.

I love mine. They are more a convienence than a permanent way to play. They do exactly what they were designed to do and the sound great for what they are.

Pardon my spelling but Hermann Kardon speakers definitely compare. I have the 2nd generation 2.1 speaker system.

Dear Rick, this will be far worse than V-moda. Fidelio is an open-back headphone. It gives all the sound in your ear and out while letting almost all outer noise in. Which means you'll hear the noise more than normal headphones and the ones in the room will easily hear what you're playing, even in the middle volume. If you didn't like v-moda, you should look for first, closed-back (v-moda is closed back but not well enough) then you should look for noise cancelling. There's a technology called active noice cancelling, some headphones like Bose qc15 has, it produces an audiowave countering the background noise and blocking all, even when you're not playing any music inside the headphone, just open the noice cancelling and it almost cuts off everything, perfect for planes, trains etc. Bose is considered as the best in active noice cancelling but there are others too.

I love the sound of Fidelios but find them heavy for running/gym. For that I use Klipsh S4i which are lighter and sound almost as good.

I purchased a polycom soundstation 2W and was very disappointed in the sound quality so I returned it. Instead I got a Konftel 300W and have been very pleased. Check with the manufacturer to see if there would be any problem with two unit.

They definitely do sound better. It's like a richer and fuller sound. The difference in the lower frequencies can be heard most significantly. For sound quality, I recommend highly.

I'm unsure. I'm not an avid audiophile. Sorry I couldn't help you, I don't know how those p2's compare.

Hi mateI had this pair to and they were ok but leaked sound and the Bass was not as effective as the xb920 The XB920 have more punch to the Bass unlike the XB700s

It's being replaced by Philips Fidelio B5. It's pretty much the same product, except for the ability to pair each speaker individually and a different outer mesh material on the speaker. http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/tvs-entertainment/soundbars/1401246/philips-fidelio-b5-wireless-soundbar-breaks-apart-into
