I used a 120GB ipod for several years and when I bought my X1 it was better in almost any aspect. Sound is better IMO, power, compatibility, etc. The only thing i miss from my ipod is the touch wheel. The software used to be better in the ipod but now with FW 2.0 the X1 is pretty good. Also...

I use it in my car all the time, with a 128gb card it meets all my music needs, just be sure to use de line out. I used to have an ipod and it was annoying to have two chargers, one for the ipod, one for my other devices that use micro usb, now I only have one charger for all of them. I find...

Love it!

Two SD slots (not microsd) would be a great feature, it would be the easiest way to achieve 1tb of storage in a device which is by no means small. I don't know if that would be a selling point, but personally I would be happy to give my money to a great DAP (like a Fiio) with such a great...

I've had mine for about a year, daily use, very annoying with the firmware it came with, specially since I previously had an ipod classic, but it improved a lot (and i mean like a LOT) with later firmware updates. Unlike some here, I didn't notice any change for better or worse with firmware...

Online in Mexico City, amazon mostly. Stores here don't let you test the gear, only the Sony Store but obviously it only has Sony products. Bestbuy and other retailers have some headphones for testing, but only the same Beats, Bose, Skullcandy you find everywhere. Some stores sell other gear...

Yeah, too bad it's the last firmware version to be released. I think it's actually pretty good! however it would be nice to keep receiving great updates like these for a little longer. Personally I was hoping to get volume control support from my Sennheiser Momentum IE remote, any remote...

I've done it in a couple of windows mobile devices and it works with no issue. The phone creates some folders in it, and when I put it back to the X1, it shows the folders but they are empty, only shows music files. In the category section however, there is not difference.

I guess you've just got bad luck with your unit, sorry to hear that since I'm enjoying my X1 a lot, specially after years using an iPod Classic. I would then recommend to use an amplifier connected to the digital output of your iPod, that improves the sound quality a lot.

Hi   There have been a couple of times that I left my X1, and when i return several minutes later, it's tuned on... I'm not exactly sure when it happens, but maybe it could be a similar problem with the idle poweroff feature. I will pay attention and keep you informed.   Thanks

I am really really impressed with the wheel improvement on v1.6, like a lot.

Hi   I always use the amp on low power and low gain, the X1 do not have the option to adjust the gain, so I use the line out option and use the amp to adjust the volume.   I'll give it a try to your recommendation of turning the volume up and down, I hope it helps.   Thanks!

Hi   I've had my E11 for a couple of years, I've used it with my iPod Classic and MDR 1R and XB700 through the L9 cable. Recently I purchased a Fiio X1 and a pair of Sennheiser Momentum in-Ear. I always turn the amp with very low volume and then the player (with the line out option on), then I...

Do you have the latest firmware version? V. 1.5 allows you to scroll from a playing song to the song list, then albums by artist, artists and finally the main menu. I hope this helps.

If you are on line out and connect your headphones of turn on the player, a message will appear "Line out may not be connected to earphones..." if you press the back button (upper right) when that message is on screen, an option will appear so you can quickly change to headphone out using the...

I have a lot of music on my ipod which I then copied into my X1. In the years that I used my ipod I carefully chose the correct album art for each track (like a lot of tracks). all those tracks kept the album art when played on the X1, however, I added some other tracks (like 30+) to the X1 and...

I received mine last week and I absolutely love them! After having a bad experience with some Bose IE I was reluctant to try earbuds more expensive than $40, but I finally got convinced by the reviews on this site and I am completely satisfied with this purchase.

So i finally got my momentum in ear! With my x1 and e11 i can enjoy some nice quality music at the office! I would like to post some pics but i dont have the needed permissions yet...

Hi I guess this is the way it works, since the wheel is mechanical it sometimes stops between two slots and the system recognizes it either as two steps or none... I find it a little annoying, specially after using an iPod classic several years. The touch wheel was it's best feature.

So I've been using it for a couple of weeks with a 128gb card, mostly with 16bit 44.1khz tracks ripped from CDs. I've used it mostly with my ex-110lp in the office, mdr-1r and xb700 at home and a lot in my car. I tried it with an e11k also. I noticed that the music really sound better and now I...

Hi I bought an x1 to replace a 120gb iPod classic, which was ok but needed a new battery (lasted only a few hours), i considered a repair, which was cheaper, but finally got an x1 and a 128gb microsd for less than $200 including shipment from Amazon. Coupled with a fiio e11 which i already own...

Hi my name is Dan and this is my first post! I have just received my x1 from amazon and i can only say that i'm impressed! For $99, i think that the same songs @ 320kbps that were in the micro sd that was on my phone sound better that the lossless files of those same songs that are on my iPod...
