Thanks for posting this!

Does anyone have a summary of known working mods for the mk3's? I know the info is probably in this thread somewhere but 141 pages are a bit much to read through.

I would contact FiiO directly if I were in your position. You can PM them here> http://www.head-fi.org/t/757129/dont-be-shy-contact-us-directly-with-problems-with-your-fiio

You would think so but since several people are mentioning that they have a problem with it and are damaging their players it is apparently not springy enough!

The spacer was off. If the plug on the K5 were in the position towards the front of the amp (in that little space you see there) it would work fine for the X3ii. I wonder if you are supposed to move it somehow...like maybe removing those 2 screws and then changing the position??? I don't have...

With the X3ii the chance of "trying to plug it in at an angle" is 100%. Look at the photos in your previous post. The port on the X7 is centered and the port on the X3ii is further toward the front of the player. This is why you see users posting that they had to angle the X3ii toward the front...

I tried that and did get it to go on the plug but it still didn't function properly. No amount of wiggling made any difference. It was at that point I decided to return the K5 for a refund. I'm going to keep watching this thread to see what experience others are having. I may try buying another...

That's good to know. Did you have any trouble at all getting the X3ii to seat in the dock?

Two words..hydrogen peroxide. Tilt your head to one side and place a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in your ear. Wait 10 to 15 seconds while the wax dissolves. (you will hear a crackling noise as the peroxide bubbles.) Tilt head the other direction and let the peroxide and dissolved wax run...

I really hope this docking problem, which seems to be limited to the X3ii, gets resolved somehow. The features, styling and specs are outstanding at this price point and I would love to be able to purchase this amp again in the future. I wouldn't even mind if it didn't have the dock, but if it's...

Very interesting thread. I've owned several different "mid fi" headphones and have never really heard anything "out in front of me". The sounds I assume should be in front of me are "in my head" even while the left, right soundstage seems very natural. Oddly enough, my newest cans (ATH900X)...

This is the same issue I had with my K5 - X3ii combo. I could not get the X3ii to make a good connection via the K5 dock yet it worked perfectly connected directly to my PC....which means the problem is in the K5 dock. Just as what has been suggested to you, some here seem to think I didn't put...

The one and only USB cable that comes with the K5

Yep, I'm aware of all of that. My X3ii has been working fine without the K5 in the mix. The X3ii has the latest firmware (V1.4) and I have the latest TUSBAudio asio driver installed on my PC. What I am trying to tell you is the X3ii will not dock with the K5 correctly. It won't plug in, it won't...

No, I tried that too but it didn't work at all/ At any rate I'm not going to go through all that trouble every time I want to dock my player. I suspect that the dock plug on the K5 I received was defective in some way. It really should plug right on there without any effort.   Just FYI, the K5...

I received my K5 today and it's going back tomorrow. I could not get my X3ii to plug into the dock at all. I thought I had it once but my PC was not recognizing that anything was plugged in so I guess it wasn't seated properly in the dock. I tried several more times and finally gave up out of...

You should be concerned about hearing loss but not because it may effect you music listening enjoyment. I'm 60 years old and recently used some test tones and sweeps to check my hearing. The results were shocking. I can no longer hear anything above around 14Khz and my right ear has a couple of...

The Aliexpress store says it's no longer available. Is it going to be restocked?

While I was impressed with many aspects of the PM-3 I had to conclude that they just are not for me. The deal breaker was the size. My somewhat large ears would not fit inside the pads without stuffing them in there, which became uncomfortable very quickly. Trying to wear them as an on-the-ear...

I received unit 8 today and will post again after I've had time to give them a fair audition. All I can say for now is they are certainly well made and sturdy. They are also very comfortable in spite of being awkwardly sized for my ears. A little too small to be "over the ear" and too big for an...

I'm very much interested in trying out the PM-3. Please put me on the list. Thanks!   Edit> I agree to the terms and conditions.

That makes perfect sense if you are evaluating headphones for your own personal use, but how about when you are posting your impressions here on Head-Fi? You can't give someone a realistic idea of what xyz headphones sound like by saying "these new xyz headphones are weak in the midrange compare...

This may be a dumb question but... How can anyone give an accurate review/listening impression of any headphone when what they are accustomed to listening to has been altered by EQ?   The subject of using EQ was brought up early in this thread and again here at the end and it seems many...
