Count me in as waiting for these to hit the UK! Mine'll be used at home with some Grado RS1i's, as I've yet to find a pair of IEM's that I like!
Where are you all getting these X3s?!
Same for me here!
Listening the X3 with my Grado totally blows the Fuze+ away.
I could hear some distortion with the Fuze+ which disappeared with the X3. Sound stage, Dynamic... Everything's there!
I set the Bass to -2 and Trebble to +4 (originally used the Jazz EQ settings on the Fuze+, which was the best possible sound...).
A real winner (at this price tag).
I have the Sansa Fuze+ (rockboxed) and I recently received the X3 as well. Well well, what can I say? The X3 totally blows the Sansa Fuze out of the water. When listening to Adele's Skyfall in 24bit FLAC through the headphone out with my Sony XBA3, I notice the hissing on the Fuze is so much more noticeable than the X3. The X3 was just silent even at the highest volume and with the headphone gain on high. The headphone amp in the Fuze sounds like it struggles to keep the bass and highs in control where as the X3 handles them flawlessly. The X3 sounds perfect with its Bass and Treble set to 0 whereas the Fuze requires some tweaking to get the sound closer to decent (by doing this, it does sound a lot more unnatural). That's my 2 cents... hope this helps.
Alright!
Thanks both of you for your impressions.
So minimal hissing at high gain, storage expansion, mechanical buttons and good SQ? Count me in!

The X3 does not use mechanical buttons. From the pics of the insides I've seen. They are membrane based.
I've never heard of a portable unit using mechanical buttons.

I'm guessing he means mechanical (membrane is also mechanical) as opposed to touch sensor type (Fuze+ type or ipod style keys).
MP4Nation just posted on FB that they have received their X3's in case anyone is curious. Of course its always best to buy from you regional dealers if you ever wish to purcahse any product from any company
