Awesome, Comfortable Planar Headphone!
As with my Aeon Closed X the sound on my FiiO R7 is great through the Aeon Open X, but the comfort is unmatched, I could wear these for days at a time.

Pure relaxation
I finally found headphones that do not tire me with their sound characteristics in the long run. So if you are looking for something to relax after a hard day or to listen in the evening for pleasure and not analysis, these headphones are the way to go. I recommend.

Great. Better than the Closed X
A lot of reviewers suggest the closed are more accurate and technically better. I disagree. There’s something thin and brittle about the midrange of the Closed X that completely ruins guitar tone, significantly altering it. The Open X do not suffer from this at all - although they do have more treble extension than I’d like - again a lot of headphones do this to chase detail at the expense of tonal accuracy. However, using the pad recommendations of Z from YouTube (the default white plus the soft foamy black as a combo) these sound pretty awesome. I don’t like to EQ as I use these on multiple devices, including direct monitoring of guitar through a mixer. Some music can still sound a little too bright, but for the most part these become well balanced without sacrificing detail. Guitars in particular (I’m a guitarist) sound terrific, as do vocals. I returned the Closed X, sold the HD6xx, kept the Open X. Other headphones I’ve owned before these include: Noble K10u, Ether C, LCD2, HD6xx (twice but never liked), AirPods Max, RS1i, DT880 Pro (twice, nice but spikey), and a host of different IEMs from Shure, Westone, etc. The only issue I have is that despite being soft, with fairly light clamping pressure, and being open back, these still somehow cause a bit of clamping pressure after half an hour and need to be shifted around or taken off for a bit, and they get hot. Far more comfortable than the Ether C, HD6xx (terrible), LCD2 (heavy) and APMax (heavy).

high quality build / very comfortable / very clean sound / well worth the price
I'm really enjoying them. They are very comfortable, light and the sound is balanced with a clean strong planar bass (they need to be EQ'ed to harman target first though). I'm so impressed with them that I'm going to buy the closed version next, which reviewers like Resolve and DMS say is a superior version. Pros
  • They are very well made using a combination of metal and high quality plastic
  • They have the best stock earpads I've ever had
  • They need EQ but after applying oratory1990's harman_over-ear_2018 profile the sound is well balanced with a strong clean planar bass.
  • very comfortable
Cons
  • They need to be EQ'ed to harman target

Well worth the money
These punch well above the cost. They are a little current happy. A decent ballanced amp really makes the fat lady sing.

One of the most comfortable headphones
Before I bought these I already had the closed x and those are my favorite closed back headphones I own, so I bought these when they were on sale to give myself an open back version of it. When I first put them on I thought they sounded horrible, especially compared to the closed back, then I took out the tuning filters and they sounded so much better to me. However, I personally still think the closed x are better then the open x. Also the Aeons are definitely some of the most comfortable headphones out there.
