I'd strongly urge people not to get these. I have the Fiio X3 2nd Gen and it's died on my. Bought it after last summer. I googled and apparently there are issues with Fiio's DAPs and their batteries. Mine won't hold a charge, no matter how long I charge it. It'll still turn on long enough to tell me it has no battery power when I charge it (as opposed to I leave it uncharged and it won't turn on, so it holds just that little charge). Look into other DAPs if you want a good one. Fiio needs to change up the charging and batteries in these.

D367ruc70So don't buy the Fiio X5 because your X3 died? Well that logic sounds bullet proof to me.

rhenomUm I guess you missed the part where I said that there are forums inquiring about the battery issues in Fiio DAPs (meaning not just my x3 II). It has been namely is the lower models and not the FIIO x7 (x1 gens, x3, and x5). Thanks.

D367ruc70I have the original X3, and after using it just under a year, the batter only shows 63% at full charge. In the process of deciding on an upgrade, and will not go with FiiO. At least not this time. Looking at iBasso and the AK Jr

D367ruc70You and me both...on my Fiio X5 2nd Gen. Battery charging problems. I think it has something to do with the electronics involved with charging. Mine won't hold a charge either. I charged it for straight 8 hours and never got a green light. Then when I turn it on, there's about 3/4 battery life. That's after 6 months of daily use.

D367ruc70You should get in contact with FiiO support!
They will surely fix your right up!

DeltaGThanks DeltaG. I'm going to reach out to them anyway but I don't know if they can/will do anything for me since I bought it new off of eBay since the drop wasn't available here at the time. Hopefully they'll help me out.

D367ruc70For any FiiO DAP as far as I remember working with them - they will fix it for a very small fee provided you can send it to them. You can also ask for a battery if you're good with a welding machine

DeltaGI honestly don't mind the small fee if that's the case. I checked my invoice and it wasn't eBay, it was Focus Camera. Either way, I e-mailed support with my invoice and the issue. Thanks for the help!

D367ruc70No problem!
I hope it gets sorted out and you'll see why everybody loves FiiO so much!
Cheers!

DeltaGFiio responded to my query and told me to send my device for repair at their California branch. If they decided that its not working due to water damage or other man-made problems then I would NEED to pay for the expense of the repair and sending the unit back to me. I believe I treated the player with care. Will keep you posted of the outcome.
