The price is right for an impulse buy. So what's a hundred bucks to you?

Quite a few Guinness
I can tell you they will be the most comfortable out of the three, I have an older pair and like them, a fun sounding headphone and worth $100, but not really an upgrade, just a different flavor really compared to your other cans.

Perhaps I should just exercise some restraint - not always the easiest thing to do - and defer on it. ATM I really do not have a clear wish for a headphone upgrade.
I do miss the wide soundstage of the Audio-Technica ATH-AD700X before it gave up the ghost, so possibly something that would be in that direction but upgraded.
Wish I knew how to do that, lol.
I purchased this headphone some time ago and send it to solderdude. Have a read on his measurements and conclusions.
On my item i could correct the imbalance below 100 hz with PEQ settings. However it seems a lottery getting a fairly balanced sample.

Thanks for the link, good information. So would you buy them again?
If i know it would be a balanced pair, yes. They have an addictive sound, a mix of hifiman HE400i and Senn HD600 to my ears.

Yesterday I purchased the X2HR (for the second time) hoping the 3rd one I get to measure is a lucky charm and won't have channel imbalance.
When it has, it will go back again and plan to forget about them otherwise I may have another good sounding and looking headphone .
Don't need it at all, have quite a few better ones and like to improve bass performance (when L-R match).
The price was right E 119.- (incl. shipping) but this deal is no longer available and back to E 171.- again.
