I have heard that Phillips has been acquired by Gibson and quality control has suffered. Any truth to that

I heard the same thing so I guess it's true. One issue apparantly has to do with the ear pads being glued on. Some pairs have glue while others do not. The pair I received had no defects at all and the pads were not glued on. They have a tight fit but they are removable.

What is the specification for the microphone?

While it does not include a microphone it can easily be paired with something like the VMODA Boom Pro.

how do these compare to the beyerdynamic Dt 990 pro?

Both are excellent headphones. The Dt 990 pros will have more treble extension. They both have good bass. The X2's are a little smoother. The Dt pros more energetic. The X2's are very nicely built, well constructed, more aesthetic than the sturdy and quite functional Dt pros. Both have incredible ear pads. The price on the X2's make them the better relative value. They both have quality sound.

What is the difference between the x2hr/00 and the x2hr/27 versions? which is newer?

From what I could find out there is no difference between the X2HR/00 and the X2HR/27. They are the same model, the /00 and /27 is just to identify the region it was made for.
