Our Verdict

Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee

Philips Fidelio X2HR

The Philips Fidelio X2HR are slightly better open-back headphones for neutral sound listening than the Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee, though they both perform very similarly. The Philips are more comfortable and have a marginally better-balanced sound profile, especially in the treble range. The soundstage of the Philips is also perceived as slightly more open and spacious. On the other hand, the Sennheiser feel quite a bit more stable on the head and are less likely to move around or slip off.
