Our Verdict
Philips Fidelio X2HR
Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO
The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO and the Philips Fidelio X2HR are audiophile headphones with different strengths. The Beyerdynamic are better-built headphones with a closed-back design. They do a better job reproducing the thump and rumble of low bass. They also leak less audio and passively isolate you from more sound, although they aren't ideal for noisy environments. On the other hand, the Philips are open-back headphones with a better PRTF accuracy, which is indicative of a more expansive soundstage. They're also much more comfortable.
