Thanks for the link. Very curious about the upcoming review.

So far only negative I see is low res screen.
Surprise bonus is it seems to come with ear buds and woodie Grados.

Wow, I didnt realize it was that small.....

What's the difference between the X5 and the X5L?

 

[Cyclone]

Why did they have to have a horizontal headphone jack? WHY?!

Ah crap.. thanks for pointing that out, and I was getting so excited about it, now how am I supposed to plug in my headphones?

The X5L is supposed to be slightly larger in size then the X5, but has a battery life of about 35 hours.

The majority of headphone plugs are 90angled, so if you put it on an horizontal jack, it would be going straight up or down.

It is nice looking, though i'm not sure about the "hump" i see from some angles.

Also what is "color sound" anyway? Does it actually mean something specific?

Err IMHO the connotation of that is warm, colourful sound
