Review: Superb quality: Wonderful device for an excellent listening experience. - The FiiO X3 (2nd Generation) has been the best purchase I have made in a long time. As a HUGE music enthusiast, I spent days looking for the highest quality alternative to mp3 players and iPods in addition to better quality speakers and headphones that I can afford. My problem is I am always on a budget, so I can't spend hundreds of dollars (most often unnecessarily as some audiophiles do). I wanted something better; something awesome to play higher resolution audio and to truly improve my listening experience overall. In our days where highly compressed audio is the norm, I stand against the ways things have become. Have you ever watched a DVD in a Blu-ray player? Get my point? Anyway, my point is higher resolution sounds better with the right equipment, and the X3 is an excellent choice, and not even just for FLAC files. MP3s also sound better with this wonderful little device. The X3 is the ANSWER to all of the above. It sounds AMAZING. Progressive Metal/Rock and my older 80's and 90's albums have never sounded so good. I haven't felt this excited about listening to music since I was 14 years old and I ran to Newbury Comics to buy the latest CD releases and would sit down in front of my stereo and make mixed tapes, and later CDs. I'll end this review with a quick list of Pros and 1 Con. Pros: The X3's built is beautiful (high quality aluminium alloy). When you hold it, it feels well-made. The sound stage is fantastic. You get the highs, the lows, and all in between. The vocals and bass are so clear. This is the way music should be heard. Give "Welcome to the Machine" by Pink Floyd a spin in this, and you'll see for yourself. Simply wonderful listening experiencing. I sometimes don't want to stop listening. Oh, and the storage capacity (microSD card only) is up to 128 G. I bought a 64 G microSD on desertcart for $23! Can't go wrong here. For $199.99 plus the cheaper cost of an SD card, the X3 is SO WORTH IT, and better than any iPod or other mp3 player up to the $500 price range. Con: The UI could be a bit more convenient and the display is not as great. With a little creativity, you could get around this since the file management is your PC's or Mac's. Bottom line of this long review: Buy this beautiful DAP with a GOOD set of headphones (not IPod buds or some basic set). You won't regret it. I absolutely love mine!
Review: A Great DAP, unsurpassed at its price point (although there are competitors as well as the x5, shop around before you buy) - This is by far one of the best sounding DAPs I've ever listened to. For my budget it met every expectation possible, not only that but I've never actually personally owned a DSD decoder so being able to listen to those files on demand especially while working is a great luxury. I have sampled a lot of formats at this point, if your collection consists of a lot of high quality FLAC you're going to love it, although it still brings new life into my lossy formats as well. For frame of reference, my testing equipment has consisted of Sennheiser Momentums, as well as the coax and line out outputs. All work flawlessly and have warm clear sound. I would be hesitant to say that it is capable of driving larger cans, the output of the X3ii is 200mw . For my purposes this is more than sufficient, you can argue about output and impedance all day for all I care, I know what I hear and for what I'm looking for this is perfect. I listen between 74/120 volume to 88/120 volume depending on mastering and its plenty loud with 9.5/10 accurate sound reproduction. I still would like to try it with a headphone amp like the MontBlanc, but I don't really have any desire to upgrade and sacrifice portability. The EQ is pretty good for what it is, although I tend to leave it off and let the individual mastering of the track speak for itself. The Momentums are good for this purpose, however I did encounter overly bright mids in a few tracks (probably due to mastering or vinyl reproduction errors) which I was able to EQ out and it sounded better. Technically its no longer an accurate reproduction of the high fidelity track if you're EQing it. I think though that's what I enjoy most about this player, it has very serious aspects yet remains absolutely practical and most importantly simple to use and enjoyable. Included in the box is a silicon glove style case, three protective wrap cases, and two extra screen protectors. Mine is resting in the accessory clear case, however for most the included silicon is probably sufficient. I really hope I didn't get a clone from desertcart, I'll be returning if I did, but the build quality is the only place where I would possibly say its lacking, and when I say lacking I mean in Quality Control not design or production. One button on my X3ii is not the same as the rest on the face, it does not press as accurately or as well and seems a bit ajar. Scroll wheel center button slides around. My biggest gripe is the USB port. Using the included USB cable I have copied files from my computer, rather than just using my micro SD card reader. Don't ask me why, just thought it would be as efficient. I was dead wrong. Copy speed bottlenecks at around 3-5 mb/s, as well as several of my high quality lossless files had a bunch of data missing when compared to the source file. This really concerns me, if data is being lost over USB then my sense is that using it as a DAC (which I have yet to do, will report back when I have) could potentially suffer from signal loss. This very well could be the USB cable, or worse the USB port, the cable was supplied so I was inclined to trust it. From now on I'm just going to transfer directly to the microsd from the card reader. All in all, TLDR: sound quality is really good, I've found it perfect for my needs and spent a lot of time looking around. Be advised of output and have realistic expectations. There are several alternatives that are at least worth looking at, iBasso, HiDiz, Astell and Kern, as well as the FiiO x5 and x5ii (to be released next week at time of writing). I speak not out of actual listening experience with most of these devices, but with my own research and personal listening tests of Astell Kern products as well as Apple, FiiO, and Sony.

### ⭐⭐ Bought two X3s. BOTH arrived with faulty headphone jacks.
*by B***O on February 2, 2016*

I want a simple, good-sounding portable music device that includes a micro-SD card in its design. Also, I really do not want to spend more than a coupla hundred bucks. I read the reviews, and opted for the X3-II. the item arrived swiftly, I then took steps to put it to use; I charged it up, then slapped a 128GB micro SD card into it, loaded it up with tons of WAVs (using WMP), and plugged it in (via the line-out into a Y cable) into the digital input of my integrated amplifier. Yes the UI is truly clunky, but who cares- it sounded great! I listened to it for a few hours and I knew that I could really like this thing. Later that night, I tested it with headphones. The headphone jack was faulty; one channel was loud and clear, but the other would flicker in and out if I jiggled the base of the wire. From my experience with a few digital music players, this is generally the Achilles' Heel of such devices. But Damn! Straight off the Shelf?!?!? Well, I am a forgiving person, and I do believe that everybody deserves a second chance. And I am a sucker, so I returned it, and bought another one. The second X3 arrived, I charged, synced, and loaded it; I then went straight to the headphones. Again the headphone jack proved to be faulty. I read the reviews, and this is generally a well-liked device. So either I have had the most uncanny misfortune, or there is a pattern here. I suspect that on both occasions, I was sold returned merchandise, despite the fact that it was not advertised as such. I give it two stars. The UI sucks, but is good enough, and it sounds really nice. But what good is that if it is shoddy and malfunctioning?
