mine is dead after two weeks. I dunno if it's the battery (because the last time I had it turned on in the morning, the battery was still around 75%, and I'm not a heavy user at all) or something wrong in it, it just won't turn on. I connect it to my laptop and nothing happens. I push the play/pause button to turn it on, nothing happens. does anyone have this problem? and it doesn't have somekind of reset button whatsoever. I'm sad.
Hello all
This is a slightly odd way for me to make my first post here as a new member, but, I hope to start off as helpfully as I want to continue to be.
I've been lurking here for ages and have learned a lot about head gear. I'm not kicking off my membership here with a flashy review or any such thing, but I know of a device that is probably just what jazzrock71 is gagging for, a device with a fully functioning stereo FM radio in it.
I've always been more keen on having radio on the go out and about than in having my music collection with me. That's beginning to change now though, I prefer to know less about what's going on and be more aquainted with artistic expressions in music, or if I do want 'news' I now prefer specific podcasts to the rolling news machine on the radio. I'm becoming a fully fledged IEM music head too.
So, I've had a lot of personal radio devices over the years from poundshop junk to sony bricks, in the days when anything any good was a brick. A couple of years ago I discovered, quite by accident, that the Sony ICD-AX412 ( a recording / podcasting, microSD expandable simple and idiot-proof gadget ) has got the best FM radio reception of all I have known. It has 2 antenna power settings, 'Local' and 'DX'. When it's set to DX, it's signal reception is startlingly good.
That's the point of my first post here ! It's discontinued now ( I think ), but, if you look for a used one, there are quite a few about
[ usually, a mono FM setting is chosen to make the best of a weak signal. My guess is that AGPtEK were not confident enough to enable the stereo ] { the sony I just mentioned automatocally wanders smoothly in and out of stereo ( even records it as mp3 if you want ), and usually, in a good signal area, stays there }
I'm not maliciously derailing this RUIZU / AGPtEK thread, I love the little X02 and have now bought 2 of them. The best thing about it, so far, for me, is that I can now use up my bad IEM purchases that have silly bloated bass. This thing calms them down and makes them tolerable. On that note, I've recently discovered a very cheap IEM ( £1.99 - in a specific UK 'bargain' chain store ) that has plenty of weaknesses including hefty veiling and a muddy bass, but it's not 'coloured' - in the sense that a lot of dirt cheap phones have unpleasant honk at some frequency or other that is hard on the ears. These, are well balanced but unclear, ideal for those horribly low bitrate podcasts some of us endure just because they are gripping topics we can't hear discussed in any other formats. I supose I'm not allowed to mention where you can buy them ( in the UK ) but I'll reply to any PM that askes me.
Anywho, Just to make clear, I'm not just a dirt cheapy fan, I recently treated myself to a Fiio X3 2nd gen' and Xduoo X2 and X3. All thanks to head-fi for that. And, a pair of Vsonic VSD1s and a few others I can't quite conjure up the names of, and, a very recent catchup flurry of purchases of KZ phones, to see what all that fuss has been about, too. None of those have arrived yet.
My very best wishes to all headfiers everywhere.

Thanks a lot for the comparison
and I have NX1 as well haha. Since purchasing X2 I didn't use it much. That little X2 doesn't even need an amp.
so here I am looking for any solution. )
Yes, of course. Tried it by sliding the power button, tried by pressing the play/pause button as well. Nothing happened. Every time I connected to my PC, there's a sound that pops when new USB is connected, but then nothing happened. Not on my PC, and the device didn't even show the "charging and play" options, it's just dead. The device is unknown in my device manager, tried updating the driver (which I read works on other threads for another kind of mp3 player), still doesn't work. And I don't think I can really claim guarantee since I got refund because of the overdue delivery time, it just doesn't feel right.
