Which of these two is the better buy: FiiO X3 2nd Gen or Sony Walkman NW-A25

[Djinn]

I think I am done with listening to music on a cell fone so thinking about getting a High Resolution Digital Lossless Media Player. They are many options available but I have my heart set on two: FiiO and Sony. As I have used Sony for decades so I know for a fact that it wont disappoint me but I have heard a lot praise for Fii0. If anyone has every used any of the two then please do share your views.

If it is because of the quality of sound, it may have more to do with your headphones than what you're using as a media player.

Try buying better headphones, they're cheaper, and can give you better quality audio. Try SkullCandy's headphones, they generally tend to be pretty good.

FiiO all the way!

How is its Bass responce? Since I am a bass head I gotta know this.

Yes that's true, without quality earphones nothing will sound great no matter how powerful a DAC and an amp are pumping it. Currently I am suing JVC hafx1x and Sony XB-50.

@Sarge @Mentee @BondedByBlood Do any of you have any experience with such devices? Please don't mention Crapple Ipods...

Beats are okay but nothing exceptional especially when you consider the price range there are better options. BTW which ones are you using and with a dedicated player or a phone?

Ahh! LG didnt work for me, it's quad beats are okay though. Actually all these phones they dont have powerful DAC's and amp's that's why they in noway can compete with dedicated music players at least for me.
