So sound quality wise does this compact model equal the regular flexsmart X3? Having trouble understanding feature/quality differences other thansize

Haven't used the regular one, but the compact one works great... Can't imagine there's any difference.

I would rate sound was improved by plugging it directly in the output jack of my radio, that stopped the occasional fading in and out and static. It works for me in my 2007 Honda. Basically a poor mans blurtooth!

I also have not used the regular one. Also, mine didn't last very long, it broke off in the cigarette lighter :(

It seems like the mini does not have as full a sound as the 3. It is still better than any other non Bose speaker you will buy though.

It is more up to date as far as design, being digital not manual. I don't know a lot about the x2, but there is info online, just Google it, I did. Hopefully, this will give u more insight to help your decision in future purchases. I've enjoyed mine, still got the tape deck in my car, so it's a vast improvement. Hope I helped!! :-)

The difference between the X and the R are pretty minor.The X depth is much deeper then the R.X has slightly different materail.But over all the X has a better all around sound quality up against the R. I've owned both. But it all comes down to your applications, what amp you are running and is it powered to its full potential, etc. I own the X and prefer it over the R.

Thank you all for your thorough responses! I bought the X1 because it has similar functionality to the X5 and is much cheaper (I also obviously get less). If I like it I will definitely upgrade. The majority of my music and books on tape are .mp3 format- so I want to make sure it all transfers well. Also the X1 is smaller and since I run a lot I didn't want a bulky mp3 player. Some said the X5 is rather large and heavy compared to other mp3 players.

I did a complete professional review of this product. May I suggest that you take a look and get a full look at this speaker. I liked it so much that I bought additional ones for gifts.

Dan,The X3 is FiiO's "med price" player, DAC and headphone amp and as the Brits say a nice bit of kit, be aware FiiO is now shipping the X5 at a higher price. I' m happy with the X 3 as a player in my car and van but the interface takes some getting use to. Take a look at ---FiiO.com and on youtube to see the interface. I do NOT try to control when driving . I have made cards for longer trips and play as a whole.

Not at all. 2 is much better than 3 and for me i love sound fly better than flex mart since ur had mic comes with it and people can hear you batter. At least my wife does :)

I use the E-12 with this without exception. The Mont Blanc gives the sound an added boost both in volume and depth of sound. While the X3 has 550 mW and sound great as a stand alone, the E-12 has 850 mW so you are much farther away from clipping.

It depends on your priority. If you care more about music experience than the latest movie surround sound than it's worth it. For me, I wouldn't trade it for the x4000.

I would give it a solid "decent". I believe I was expecting better, and looked for something else. In the course of trying more expensive Sennheiser, B&W;, Beats models, I came to feel the less than perfect isolation was way more than offset by everything else. Audio quality is fabulous and so is the design and fit and finish. Let me know how you go on this. Ed

It is a quality issue. I only use mine for voice and it seems fine for that though the sound board folks had to do some work to dial it in correctly. The biggest difference to me is that I've never been able to get it to fit solidly and comfortably. The boom is much thinner and so wobbles a lot and the earpiece just doesn't bend into shape as easily. Still satisfied with the purchase given the price difference but you really do get what you pay for.

I haven't tried UE boom, but I have tried Big Jambox. There isn't much difference in sound quality. Battery life is more in Jambox though. But the price difference isn't justifiable. TDK won't disappoint

it's surprisingly good! i have a small jambox that sounds nice but it blows it away. i also have the bigger soundlink bose that i paid $300 for and it's only a small step ahead of the mini on sound, clarity, and bass! i hope this helps!

If toucan get past the Static you may hear some music. Buy the FlexSmart X3. $60.00 works great and no need to plug your phone in

The Klipsch Quintet III system is way better than the Energy Micros. I know they are not the same as the classic, but I was offered the Energy Micros since the classic was discontinued. After comparing the two systems, there was no question that I had to return the Energy Micros and pay the associated "restocking fee."

I have had both as well and I have found that the FlexSmart X2 connects better with Bluetooth but the end that went into the cigar lighter fell apart on me. I dislike like this one and if I didn't wait so long I would return it. My phone never wants to connect and hold the Bluetooth connection.
