One of the earcups snapped off when I slept in them one too many times, but people who aren't idiots won't need to worry about that as much.
You get less isolation of course, but you get much better soundstage as long as your environment is quiet versus traditional closed headphones.

How does this compare to Philips Fidelio X2HR

It's not exactly apples and oranges, but I feel it's hard to compare them because they sound so different and choosing which one sounds "better" depends on whatever song you're listening to at the time. Definitely do the X2HR's if you're going to use them for movies though - I feel like that was the only category where one clearly outshined the other.
The X2 has a lot more bass, though I wouldn't say it's unbalanced. It's just the 9500 just doesn't have a lot of bass quantity. The X2 has significantly better fit. I thought the 9500 was too loose on the head. The X2 is much more forgiving on weaker, unamplified sources as well.
Another plus is the very open design and the material of the earpads make head-sweat a non-issue.
