Highlights
Exceptional performance The Philips Fidelio X3 headphones boast double-layered ear shells that reduce resonance and vibration. The neodymium drivers are engineered to tilt at 15 degrees, fitting the natural geometry of your ear for optimal accuracy at high frequencies. The result: flawless performance, with exquisite detail.
Feel the passion These over-ear headphones aren’t just built to sound spectacular: they feel incredible too. The light, soft inner headband adjusts to fit perfectly. The outer headband adds a reassuring weight, while the snug fit of the feather-light memory foam ear-cup cushions creates a perfect seal. Ideal for long listening sessions.
Open-back design The open-back ear-cup design is covered with acoustically transparent Kvadrat speaker fabric. Air is able to flow freely through the fabric-eliminating air pressure build-up behind the diaphragm and creating immersive, spacious sound. The art of balance The 50 mm acoustic drivers boast diaphragms composed of multiple polymer layers, and filled with damping gel. The flexibility and smoothness of each diaphragm delivers perfectly balanced sound. The bass is impactful without being overpowering. Midrange frequencies are full and smooth. High frequencies are exquisitely detailed.
Hi-Res Audio. Twinkling pianos. Blistering rock. Whatever you love, these Hi-Res Audio headphones let you feel the full impact of every note. When wired to a high-resolution source, you’ll get the full benefit of lossless audio that’s recorded at a higher sample rate than CDs—for a brilliantly lifelike performance.
Transparent Kvadrat fabric The clean, elegant design of these premium over-ear headphones beautifully updates their predecessor-the legendary Fidelio X2. The dark satin finish of the metal frame seems to float over the durable, black Kvadrat fabric that covers the ear cups.
Responsibly sourced The black Muirhead Scottish leather that covers the outer and inner headband is sustainably and ethically sourced. Beautifully soft and textured, this high-performance leather lends a sophisticated touch to the headphones.
Authentic sound Immerse in your favorite albums—however, you like to listen. The included cable boasts a 6.3–3.5 mm jack adapter, so you can listen on your smart device as well as your home setup.

FAQS
You could attempt to connect it but you’ll either get no sound or sound in only the left ear, if it even works at all since these headphones use both left and right auxiliary.
Yes it is compatible with IPhone 12.
So far these things feel built like a tank. But that one plastic piece is altered slightly but still there (assume you mean the little pegs connecting the cups to the metal rings/yolks, that let the cups rotate a little). So far so good though
Yes it will work as intended with the 3.5 mm
Amsterdam
No incluye estuche, solo una funda para guardar.
Amazon has a number of universal replacements that would fit the Fidelio X3.
This headphones came with amazing case!

No. There is no power involved with these headphones. The wires are plugged into a “source” like a phone, digital music player, receiver etc.
On the headphone side, both cables are 3.5mm TRS. But on the amp side, yeah, the balanced cable terminates in a 2.5mm balanced. No idea why they made that decision, but I picked up a 2.5-balanced to 4.4-balanced converter that seems to work fine
No sound
The stock number is located on a tag on the wire and the serial number is located on the box
