Had my X3 for 3 weeks now and the sound is much better with lower impedance earbuds than with my harder to drive AKG on-ears. Guess it just needs an external amp after all for harder headphones. One weird quirk I found is that when I use the line-out to play it through my car stereo's aux input, I need to have the USB power plugged in or it will only play an unusably low volume even though on a full battery...weird, but survivable I guess. The convenience of dual 128GB cards is worth it!

Zorba922I'm looking at this player, so you think if I have AKG k712s I'd need an amp to power it properly? Or is it ok without
I've never seen a high quality music player before and just stumbled upon this ; but this is great for portable listening. I guess I can find a tiny amp and tie it to the back of it? What headphones were you trying

nick123I've been using mine with Westone IEMs for 6 months and no issues with power. Read the thread at Head-fi (or skim it it's huge), and look into Rockboxing this unit, it really helps.

lotekHas anyone heard of tomtop.com? Is it a legit website? The silver ones are selling for 75.99 (EU only?) and the black ones for 92.99 with free shipping to USA with CN warehouse selected.

VerdeLooks like the 75 version is sent from Great Britain, not China, which should speed up shipping a bit.

ribstabsheartIf only that helped someone like myself who is state-side. When shipping from the UK warehouse, it can be delivered to UK & other EU countries (according to their shipping & payment tab). Buzzkill.

thebigredpolosI'm stateside too. So does this mean we cant buy it for that price at all?

ribstabsheartAs far I as I can tell, that's correct. We'd need to select the CN warehouse, which is $92.99

nick123I just looked at the specs of the 712 on AKG's website and it shows 62ohms impedance, vs my 612's 120 ohms. So you will have a better chance of not needing an external amp with the 712, but I wouldn't rule that out either.

Zorba922I've been using it with Q701s and I'd say it's loud enough without an external amp. I think they're 62ohms too.
