Verdict

The Fischer Audio X-02 is a wired, over-ear headphone featuring 40 mm drivers that deliver a wide frequency response of 10 Hz to 24,000 Hz. These headphones are characterized by a 40-ohm impedance and a sensitivity of 104 dB/mW, making them relatively easy to drive with standard audio sources. Main pros include a convenient foldable design for portability, a detachable 3-meter cable that offers significant freedom of movement, and an included travel bag. However, notable cons include a relatively heavy build at 340 grams, the absence of active noise cancellation, and a lack of neodymium magnets which are often preferred for lighter, more efficient driver performance.
