Can anyone tell me if there is a way to replace the headband pads? I'm going to replace the ear pads, and the headband one just look a bit gross. Useable, but peeling and dirty.

The M3 does sound worse than I remember the X1 being, but the cheap xiaomi earbuds were at least part of the issue. I mostly used that with the JVC S500 or a pair of quality earbuds. It's confusing why the M3 sounded worse, but I can certainly believe the earbuds were not good enough to showcase...

I just bought a Fiio M3 and felt like it sounded slightly worse than the headphone jack on my Xiaomi 5 phone. Am I crazy, or are phones catching up to the point now where this is realistic? I'm returning the M3 and can't decide if I should buy an X1 instead, or just keep using my phone.  ...

Mine had the same issue. I used it infrequently for more than three weeks without charging it, and then yesterday it cut out with the battery low. I charged it overnight and it still wouldn't start, so I thought it was dead and emailed customer support. I just pressed the little reset button...

My experience is pretty limited, jaxz. My kit consists of jvc ha500s, xiaomi pistons, and the cheaper iems i was using until recently. as a source, i have a xiaomi 2s phone and laptop with ele dac. the latter ought to provide similar power, or at least adequate to judge. for what it's worth i...

Have we resolved what it's made from? I assume it's plastic with a metallic finish. My thought was that the transfers and screen protector between them will protect it from scratches well enough that i can avoid the silicon sleeve, which, is more useful than attractive.

I didn't put it on entirely straight, and one corner is already frayed a little from going in and out of my pocket or not being stuck on right. They'll be cheap to replace and are not meant to last forever. Still like the look! A couple more observations: On the sound, the main thing I'm...

Here you are, Wokei. I don't know how long this lot will stay on, but I like the way it looks.          

Didn't I include everything already? Whadaya want pics of? :) The transfers are six pieces. Front, back, and scrawny pieces for the sides. They're marked where you can remove bits over buttons and holes.  

It was 648rmb. It's the same on all taobao stores. The first one put it up for 699 and then immediately lowered it to match the others! That's exactly 100USD or 65GBP. Plus 184rmb for the 64gb microsd card. With that, it doesn't seem quite so cheap, but I'm happy up to now. My phone only had...

13x13x2.5cm. It looks like a double CD case.

It just goes to show how much you can get done in a 3hr lunch break: almost anything.

You all seem to think I'm joking, LOL. I just posted some photos to a new impressions thread so people can see how it comes. Gotta go back to work now!   Quote:

Hi there,      I live in Guangzhou, not far from where Fiio are based, so my order from a local Taobao store was very quick. I'll post photos first and then comment on more when I've had a play with it. My new 64gb Kingston class 10 microsd hasn't arrived yet, so I put in an old 2gb card and...

I know it's not a competition, but did I win? :D

i don't need a 256gb card, but i searched taobao and it was right there for 1000rmb, about 150usd.

i teach four year olds; i make certificates all the time. this will be the first time i've made my own. and a trophy. we'll need an impressions thread. i'll entit if there isn't one when mine arrives.

i just ordered from the taobao store in guangzhou. got silver because they said it was in stock and ready to ship, while they didn't expect the champagne until october 20th. might wanna check before you order, don't know if this is common. i could have it as soon as tomorrow, failing that the...

plenty of people travel to china now. maybe someone can bring it back for you.someone ought to be stocking this in germany, though.

i live in china, so i've never used one of the agents. i assumed they were easier than that, or people wouldn't use them! it's almost exactly 100usd here in china, so if the target price of 100usd in the usa holds true you would be better off just waiting a week or whatever and buying from a US...

Guangzhou stores near the factory are saying shipping on 22nd, Beijing stores are saying 24th. Guangzhou said they may only have silver at first, the champagne/gold colour could be later.

…meant to add that this one says they're expecting to have stock to ship on the 24th. i'll stop posting now!

another one has appeared at a seller in liaoning province in the far north east for 649rmb (almost exactly $100)

I just asked one of the sellers if they have stock, and he says their taking pre-orders, and will be able to ship within a week. I guess the stock is on it's way to them. Coming from the factory in guanghou, they should have it 2-3 days later than local stockists.
