That's why it's absolutely brilliant how you can control playback with in-line remote control of your headphones (the same as X3ii).  Don't even need to reach out in your pocket!

True, but I'm betting a lot of us purchase HP / IEM without inline remotes. I know I do.

Does iOS remote volume up/down work with the X3II and X5II?

That makes 2 of us.

I can check later and report back if no one gets to it first. Watching my wee ones right now...

Make it three of us. I stay as away as possible from remotes as possible, as I fear that they would break on me.

Just dug out some Apple EarPods.

Play/Pause and Skip functions work.

Volume Up/Down does not work.

  Can we use 256GB cards with this?

Sorry, I've been trying to read through the pages, quite a few left to go.

That sounds too good to pass by.  Hope Amazon.ca has a similar deal.  I can wait till the firmware lets us use them.

Those are regular SD cards, chaps. X5 requires micro SD cards.

That's correct.  Apple and Android implemented volume control in a different way, so utilizing only play/pause multi-function button makes control universal
 
Regarding cables with controls, it's a huge advantage for all those IEMs and cans with removable cables.  Now you have an excuse to use "the other" included bonus cable for your controls   I have to double check when I get home, but it's not just play/pause with a single click, but also skip track with double click.  Don't remember if triple click skips back, but either way - it's too cool to be able to control playback or skip a song without taking DAP out of the pocket.  If you remember, FiiO introduced X3ii with arm band case for exercising, and that was one big selling point where you can control playback without touching controls while you breaking a sweat

On the other hand, there started to appear samsung microsdxc 128GB cards, which are cheaper than their sandisk counterparts. under 90$ one, where I can only fiind 150$ at minimum sandisks.

Here in the US, both are currently at the $90 level.

I just want a solid audiophile music player that can play above 300GB of music. It seems like the only thing like that around is the AK120 and 240.
 
Those micro sd card storage upgrades can't come early enough.

128 GB + 200 GB = 328 GB. Or 200 GB + 200 GB = 400 GB. Achievable with the X5 (II). Don't say that gets too expensive!

 
 
And welcome to Head-Fi!

Oh, that sounds interesting. How would you achieve that?
 
Thanks for the welcome, I've been lurking for so long now.

X5 has two mSD slots, and there are now 200GB mSD cards. They're really expensive, though!


twister6: Yes, 1 press on the remote's Play/Pause button toggles Play/Pause, 2 presses skips ahead, 3 presses skips back.

Too bad there isn't parity for volume control. That's honestly what I'd use most. I suspect that's be true for a lot of people. Volume needs to be regulated fairly frequently on the go to account for differences in ambient noise levels.
