Recently released, slightly updated version of the Fidelio X2. Main changes over the X2 seem to be materials used for the ear pads and headband (more breathable material used).
These will be imported, locally the RRP is $399 if you can find them. Currently €349 from various Amazon European stores.

Thanks for letting us know
Cool, thanks for letting us all know.
Looks over at the 6 pairs of headphones around me
Yeah, more than one pair, that'd be crazy
I don't think i will be getting them either, just so everyone knows..
Damn was hoping these were going to be a rework of the x2s; apparently they can be quite boomy and I'm not spending $200 to find out =(
Why would they rework something so widely well regarded by the audiophile community? "Boomy"? No idea what you're trying to say.
They are definitely not boomy to me. Its more of a shallow v-shape signature to me. Bass is punchy but not boomy.
What was wrong with the old pads?
Some say the old ones were glued to the cans and are made by a different factory than the original one. No changes to tonality or at least no consistent reports of such.
Doesn't KG normally sell AU stock?
Someone who owns one of these, do they feel heavy? Their weight is just under 400g. After a few hours, I'd imagine that gets heavy.
What's the clamping force like? Does it feel tight?
Built like a tank but very comfy. No issues there.
How are these compared to the Bose QC 35?
Ugh.
They're different headphones for different purposes.
Bought the mass drop hi-fi man he4xx, dont think I'll be needing the x2.
