1.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE my X5!! The subpack is awful, but it's no longer a problem, October 7, 2007

By	C. Kramer "Mahatma" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I agree with the other reviewers about the subpack. DUMB, DUMB, DUMB! Without the subpack, the X5 was a potential iPod killer.

Without the subpack or X5 base you can't charge the X5. My subpack also broke (well, after 2 years) and it was awkward to use. The X5 base, in comparison, is solid (looks impossible to break), and it's fine on a desk for charging or file transfer or both, but it's not tiny. HOWEVER:

-- that subpack problem has finally BEEN SOLVED. Elsewhere on Amazon and other places can buy a USB cable that directly connects without the subpack, and it both charges, and can be used for file transfer

-- the X5 itself is *fabulous*! I've used mine for 2 years on many long bicycling trips. The little button didn't work so well at one point after keeping the x5 in filthy pockets, but a drop of oil and a little fussing with a pipe cleaner, and it was fine again.

-- I just bought the updated iPod Classic (Gen. 6) which has a much bigger and higher-res screen, larger (160gb v 60gb) hard drive. But the x5, which is technology that is 2 years older, is STILL better in lots of ways:

--- the X5 uses music files just copied over: no stupid lengthy procedure with copying over (which is needed with the iPod)

--- the x5 plays more music formats

--- the X5 toggle is superior to the classic's wheel

The bottom line: I STILL prefer my x5.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible, July 31, 2007

By	J. Lowery (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I hate everything about the Audio X5 (mine is barely limping around after owning for 1 year). The headphone jack is busted, and now this little thing broke. Worse, when I plug it in it gets extremely hot extremely fast and I'm sure if I hadn't noticed it would have burned my house down or at least destroyed what's left of my terrible little Iaudio. I'm really nervous about investing any more into this terrible product, but I guess I'll get the charging dock. This could be a huge mistake.
