Does anybody have an issue with the whole headphone having a tendency to slowly flip backwards unless you pull the headband to tilt forwards, but then the cups are also slightly tilted forwards, such that the pads don't form an optimal seal around the ears?

I have a 1st gen FiiO X5 with the last official firmware update (I know it's OOOOOLD, but please bear with me). Today was the first day I try to fiddle with the equalizer in the FiiO X5 at all, after all these years of owning it. To my surprise, when I set the equalizer to "Custom", but with...

I have two noob questions: Does each box of AKG K371 come with all three cables (1.2m straight, 3m straight, and 3m coiled)? The official product page lists these cable lengths but I have never seen any online vendor give the option of choosing the cable. Can something like a 1st gen FiiO X5...

I just noticed that *sometimes* the X5 automatically resumes playing from the last position after it goes to sleep and I power it back up, without me pressing the "play" button at all. And this happens when I initially started the playback by browsing folders, and not the media library. So the...

I, too, suspect that the linked USB DAC driver on that page is wrong. It won't install for me. However, the other driver package that you can get on http://fiio.com.cn/support/download.aspx does install.

Glad I'm not the only one who needs this.   It appears that there are a few existing tickets related to this issue: https://app.devzing.com/FiiO/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6 https://app.devzing.com/FiiO/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38 https://app.devzing.com/FiiO/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101  ...

Is it just me or the X5 cannot remember the last song and last position between power cycles if I play by browsing folder (instead of playing through the media library)?   If so, I think this is material for a ticket on Bugzilla.   My music collection is already neatly organized into a...

I just updated the firmware to 2.0.   I try to install the USB DAC driver but the installer can't detect my device. I'm using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, fully updated.   In Windows 7's Device Manager, I see the unit listed as "USB Composite Device", under the "Universal Serial Bus...

I just received my unit, preloaded with firmware 1.20.   Why does the Quick Start Guide recommend to perform firmware updates using a TF/MicroSD card of 32GB or less? What's wrong with using 64GB? I only have 64GB ones handy right now.

That would totally complement my alignment in Ingress. 

So there is a USB DAC driver for Windows. Does the X5's USB DAC function also work with Linux and Mac (somehow out of the box, without additional driver)? If so, why does Windows need additional drivers?

Those of you who ordered from MP4nation, did you automatically receive an e-mail from them when they shipped? I still haven't received one. Or did you have to ask them?

Does MP4Nation stock from  Does mp4nation.net stock from Carve Link Company or directly from FiiO?   Will the X5 support exFAT at some point, by the way?

I'm considering to eventually buy a Fiio X3 to replace my Cowon J3, because I'm starting to get more and more high definition files (96 kHz or 24-bit-per-sample) that the Cowon J3 can't handle.   Before I do that though, I would like to know if you guys have encountered any file that...

Quote: Haha! You read our minds!   I'm still a Westone fan. I love my UM3X. I'm 80% confident that even Westone's next flagship universal fits won't crash the $1000 mark.   The SE846's nozzle sure looks solid though.
