Can't wait for May to get here - any word about a definite release date?
I can. (no money for toys right now)

updates please...
Will the X3 be as good as the e11, or will it be better? I`ve got a S9 and I guess it would be cheaper for me to add a E11 for the ue rm...
10-12 hours of music playback is a little too short for me, du to the fact some flights do take a little bit more time.
What the X3 should have is a zero ohm output for multi-ba drive custom in-ears... and the output (hopefully the E11 also) shouldn't generate any annoying hiss with low impedance devices.
... wondering when the products will be available in Germany. By the way if the X3 is better then the E11 I would like to pay some extra for longer battery endurance. I need more, much more.. FiiO please keep the travelers in mind...
thanks

The X3 is using the same amp and internal DAC as the E7, except the DAC will be slightly better because there's no USB chipset to run through. The E11 is touted to be a much better amp that that in the E7, so for amping duty I'd say that the E7 is the way to go.
I also want to know where this silly notion about output impedances and BA IEMs comes from. I've seen it around a few times and I can't think of any reasons at all why it should be correct. Output impedance is there to protect headphones and earphones from excess power - the only time it should ever be zero is if you're driving something incredibly hard to drive (like orthodynamics or speakers), or if you have very little power to work with (such as with an iPod). This article is an incredibly good explanation of why output impedance is needed, especially on something low-impedance and fragile like balanced armatures.
