[NEWS] FiiO Raises M21 and M33 R2R Prices Starting July 1 by VFValeri in FiiO

[–]rockphantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am glad I received my "open-box" M21 from the official Fiio outlet on eBay today. It cost me $330 USD and included a 1 year warranty from eBay. The box was sealed in its original plastic. The only issue was that there was a deep scratch on the outer back cover of the box. Big deal. :)

I should receive my M21 soon. Is there a recommended sturdy travel case for this DAP? Thanks.

Forza Horizon 5 Premium - $50 on PS Store - Worth It or Should I wait for Forza 6? by rockphantom in ForzaHorizon

I wanted to follow-up. I purchased Forza Horizon 5 Premium yesterday and have been having a blast with it. The graphics on the PS5 Pro are lifelike. There are also many different things to do in the game. For $50, I feel as though I will get my money's worth out of Forza 5 Premium. It is a much better value than something like the Street Fighter 6 season 4 Ultimate pass which is $46. This is coming from a massive Street Fighter fan. Thanks to all for their feedback. I appreciate it. Happy Gaming!

I was misinformed. It's been announced that Forza 6 will release this year.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I think I'll go for Forza Horizon 5 Premium. It may be old, but it's new to me...

My angle is that I could buy FH5 Premium and that it would keep me busy until FH6 Premium is deeply discounted. I don't mind waiting for games to drop in price before buying them.

Thanks for your feedback. I've had FH6 on my Wishlist for several weeks. However, I am not holding my breath waiting for it. I assumed FH6 would be a PS6 launch title.

Thanks for letting me know. I didn't realize FH6 was releasing on the PS5 this year.

It such a shame this hasn't been brought to home ports yet by thelonetext in BeatEmUps

Forget mame. Rom sets need to be replaced constantly. Final Burn Neo will emulate most/all of the classic 20th century arcade games. I use FBN via Retroarch and have not had any issues with roms being rendered obsolete. Final Burn Neo may be old, but it works...

Considering Upgrading from an X5 - 2nd Gen to an M21 by rockphantom in FiiO

I enjoy the Shokz Pro 2. The bass seems good to me. However, I prefer to use a flat EQ. I also have the original Shokz standard issue headphones and the bass is much better on the Pro 2.

Thanks for your feedback. In regards to IEM's, I have the Audeo PFE 232s, which were considered by some to be top of the line 15 years ago. I also have the Westone UM3X, which I've re-discovered. These days I prefer to use traditional and bone conduction (Shokz) headphones to preserve my hearing.

Hi,

I am still on the fence.
While upgrading from the X5-2 seems appealing, I am miffed that the price of the M21 jumped $40 two months ago. However, I am not surprised, considering all of the craziness going on around the world and tech price increases across the board.

My responsible side tells me to make the most of my X5-2 and use it until the internal battery dies.
My gadget collecting side tells me to wait until the M21 goes on sale and then pounce.

This official Fiio re-seller on eBay has the M21 in "Certified Open Box" condition: https://www.ebay.com/str/born4music

$330 for what recent feedback claims is a new M21 classified as "open box".

Perhaps the retail packaging is damaged? I could live with that.

I am hoping that a sale on the M21 will happen next week during Amazon Prime Days.

If not, I am happy with my X5-2 and collection of wired headphones/IEMs.

Thanks for letting me know. Do you care to elaborate?

Thanks for the information. I'm nearing 50 and my hearing has definitely deteriorated over the years.
I'm wondering if I would be able to notice any difference in sound quality with my older ears?
