Fiio X1 review: High Resolution Audio in your pocket

The Fiio X1 is a pocketable High Resolution Audio music player that offers quality audio listening at an impressively affordable price. Does it really deliver what it's meant to achieve? We find out in this review!

Good sound with great detail ; Extremely cheap for a High Resolution Audio player ; Very portable ; Easy to add memory

No on-board memory ; No touchscreen so user interface is limited

Given that other HRA media players like the Sony NWZ-XZ1 cost close to S$900, you must be wondering what the Fiio X1 gives up in return. And in most instances that’s a modern touch screen interface and operating system based that allows you to do more...

FiiO X1 high-resolution music player review

Earlier, if you wanted anything to do with hi-res music, you had to set aside a chunk of money. Not anymore.

No internal storage ; Clunky design ; Dated UI

It’s a great player for the price and it gives you what you pay for
