Hello all, I absolutely love my x5 3g! I sold my opus 1 and got the 5 on HBB's rec on his you tube vid ( thanks man ) Anyways I've had no problems with it and I really love the sound- reminds me of the old Sony high end cd walkman- very rich and musical, but of course with better resolution. I also feel the highs are really outstanding with Sound Magic E80, really a nice paring with x5 3 and a very good price to perfromance ratio.

Anyhoo I ordered FLC 8S to go up the audio chain and although they sounded amazing I couldn't wear them for any length of time because the fat metal nozzle hurt my ear canal. I tried all the tips I could to relieve the pain, I guess I just have narrow ear canals. I let my ears rest a week and the problem is even the Sound Magic E80 hurt now.


So to make a long story short I'm looking for some decent regular cans that will sound excellent with the x5 3. I would like them as light and comfy as possible, oh and I don't want to break my poor piggy or wreck my wallet. So far I'm looking at ATH MX50x, Thinksound On2 wood, and Meze 99 classics. Any imput on these or others would be greatly appreciated!!

Oh and I would like something with a nice even response with good sound field positioning. I Iike a nice deep fast bass and lush mids and nice well extended highs and a nice stage and resolution. Lol maybe I'm asking for too much in this price range- 400 US would be my limit. I also live in the US and I can't try out jack **** in any stores around me

Meze 99 Classics is the best match with X5 3, it is in different league than M50X and On2.

Thanks for the info as long as they're comfy I'm going to order them. My original post got deleted, I guess I edited it too much lol for a newb. But I'm no newb no sir Thanks again, it sucks when you have no way to demo stuff.

Macs do not work well with Fat32 (well, with any formatting, except Mac based). Try formatting with the X5iii.

I have a 64gb samsung card in exfat. I put it in the X5 and I recognized it, but some players did not detect the songs well. I put it in my mac mini, format it to FAT (fat32 in mac), and fix it. Try to see if you're lucky.

MAC works perfectly in FAT32, tells you one that works every day with MAC and USB.

I also will not format cards with the X5 (unless they refer with any android APP dedicated to it.)

If mac does not let you format the card in any way, do it with some program of low formatting on windows. Try to see, sometimes I have touched a very difficult card or a pendrive and I have fixed them with a low level formatting program on windows.

Well, I work on Macs and Windows as well, Fat32 formatting on Mac is more complicated.

Why is more complicated?
