Wow, 15 years for gym headphones is amazing, I'm lucky if I can get 2 or 3 it seems like. I'm using my SE846's at the gym now, hope they don't go bust, they were expensive!
Anyone here familiar with the HPL cables? Am considering their. Nobium Silver cables. Hopefully someone here can give me some feedback on the following issues:
1. Any audible difference between 4-braid vs. 6-braid?
2. Would sheathing improve resistance to tangle?
Would HPL cables be best bang for my $$?I've only used stock cables thus far, so I can be considered a novice when it comes to the subject of custom cables.
Hope someone here can point me in the right direction.

Just got my X5 today and man you guys weren't lying about the terrible UI. It totally ruins my experience. Then on top of that the 2-3 second delay in selecting songs is excruciating. Very disappointed in the OS and functionality.
It does sound good. I'm coming from a Cowon J3 which many here don't even consider an audiophile DAP. Can't say the X5 is as big of an upgrade in sound as many led me to believe.
I feel like X5 will end up being the best bang for the buck, depending on what they decide to price the X7 at. It seems like a $1000 DAP for $350, I think the law of diminishing returns sets in harder after the X5, but will have to wait and see.
Wasn't aware of this, so I figured I would post this in case anyone else that's interested wasn't aware also, but it looks like the accessories for the X5 are up on the FIIO website (in English!) Was hoping for a sport case for this thing though, Here's a link:

Nice! I might get the leather case or the carry case.
@JamesFiiO : i noticed a grammatical error:
On the accessories page, beneath the silicone case head, it says "ray" instead of "gray"

Yeah I like the carry case to use with my X5/E12, wish they had a case with a clip though so I could at least use it at the gym. As of yet I haven't figured out how I am going to carry this thing into the gym with me, don't feel it would be secure enough just sitting in my pockets.
Where can I buy all these X5 accessories?
