Pro: * Sound: There's nothing to complain about! * Amplifier power: Even headphones as a Beyerdynamic DT 880 250 Ohm impedance play with the Fiio loudly enough and clearly more powerful than eg the iPod 5G. For most in-ear headphone amplifier additionally offered probably makes no sense. * Format-diversity * Processing: There is nothing to complain about! Made in China can also mean quality. * Design: Like! The bonds on Apple's older iPod models are obvious, but why reinvent the wheel? The design and operating concept has proved its worth. * Supplied accessories: Where there is the else? High-quality, black silicone case, 3x Screen Protectors (one is already free of bubbles and absolutely accurately attached), Skins for sticking (Kitsch ...), USB cable. Charger missing, but I did not miss, because the device can store on a standard USB power adapter. * Line-Out: Switchable Line output for connection to / active speakers the stereo system etc. * No internal memory: What for? Would be paid for dearly and has become obsolete after a short time. * Ordinary display * Price / performance ratio is also to the two price increases still ok! I got my copy purchased directly through the Fiio shop and even paid the old price.
Cons: * How long will probably keep the scroll wheel? Unlike the iPod model it is here moved mechanically and does not respond to "Touch". In the long run even dust could penetrate. * Headphone output at the top and away from the listener: I like it not, because it is not the natural direction of the cable to the handset. But was probably no different. * Display of the time impossible: That will hopefully fixed in a future firmware upgrade.
