Will my new headphones make me cool?

The electrical resistance and mechanical movement in the earpieces themselves will in fact make you warmer.

I did a search on the Fidelio X2 and this image came up. So to answer your question, "Will my new headphones make me cool?", yasssss, yasssss they will.
 
Shit I got Beats, Bose, Sennhieser, Astromo, Creative, Ultrasone 750 and ultimate ears. I used to have a Skullcandy over ear too.
In all honesty, none of those sound any worse than the other. All HP's I've ever tested both in stores or friends..etc seem to either have their own signature or stay more flatter/neutral while the cheaper ones tend to be harsher or uncomfortable to listen to for extended periods. Bose is a little warmer than the Beats, Ultrasone's have weaker bass than both, Sennhieser and Astromo are fairly neutral and very similar.
I do notice that with amplification and/or if using a bass boost, most HP's distort pretty bad in the lowest frequencies, The Beats and Astromo's actually still handle it smoothly.
 
LOL holy shit, X2's are legit as hell haha. Didn't expect that for $300 lol. Just tried them right now and damn. Absolutely clear and bass thumps clean and hard but doesn't drown anything out. Vocals are super nice. Hard to beat without spending $500-$1000 on planars IMO.

You should have gotten Beats or Bose. Only those two are capable of making someone cool. It has to be the really huge ones too. Bonus points for using them at work and ignoring the phone and everyone around you because you have them on and can't hear anything.

On amps .... for the price... I do not for a second believe that Beats or Bose are comparable to the others.

I tried on $200 Beats once. My opinion is that they are worth $30-$40. I can not believe how over priced these PoS headphones are. What are the margins on them? 95%?
