Thanks for the tips - I've managed to work out how to do the firmware update now.   I'm going to get some good sounding cans for my birthday so that gives me a few months to decide, and opens up my budget nicely as I'm sure I can ask my parents to go halves on something, which means I can...

My X3 is here! I love it, it's amazing! I've been loading it with FLAC files so far. I had some audio in pretty low quality mp3 and was pleasantly surprised to find FLAC versions in the Tidal store so all in all I've had a good day archiving my music and transfering to the X3!   I have a 64gb...

Not sure if this has been asked before - can you purchase individual tracks in the Tidal store? I bought and downloaded an album before I realised that they also had the Japanese version available which has two bonus tracks. It looks like you can't purchase one track, just full albums. Annoying...

Just found a pair of HD239 for £60 ($75 I think is the equivalent in dollars), what do you make of the price? They're on offer for 30% off. Nice looking headphones actually!

Oooh I have a pair of PX-100ii, I think the left hand channel is on the blink so I haven't used them for a while. I might have to dig them out, they're still under guarantee so I might just take them back for a new pair. That's the third pair of PX-100ii that this has happened with for me, same...

Hi again,   Mainly I listen to stuff like the Chili Peppers (who unfortunately have some notoriously badly mastered albums which will never sound good, so I've been seeking the so-called 'unmastered' versions with some success), Modest Mouse, Smashing Pumpkins, John Frusciante.....which I...

Hi all,   I've been reading the reviews and forums here for a while so finally thought I'd join up after buying my FiiO X3 yesterday and seeking recommendations on headphones to use with it.    Whilst I did a year long course in traditional music which included a large amount of time being...

I've been checking out some of the headphones suggested here and I'm making a list of those which I'll be doing some research on to pair with my new X3.   If anyone else has any suggestions please feel free to add to my list of possibilities....my general listening habits are as follows -  ...

Thanks for both your comments, I certainly feel that a headphone upgrade is going to be in order. I've tried various 'phones over the years on both portable and home hi-fi equipment and I have to say I really do like the AKG sound. I used to be wedded to Sennheisers, especially on my home kit...

I should clarify - the version I bought today is the original X3, the gentleman I bought it from was accidentally given the original instead of the second generation, hence selling the first generation.

So I've been lurking on this site for ages (I bought my AKG K81DJs because of the forums, loved them, and now 3 friends own a pair too!), finally decided to join the discussion! I bought a FiiO X3 today, just waiting for delivery now! I got a great deal, I had intended to go for the X1 but found...
