year 2012
A preview of Roland's new products was held, and "FR-1X" and "FR-1Xb" were unveiled (release scheduled for late June).

「I am planning to get a Roland FR-1X to practice during the night with headphones. However, checking its release date, I saw that the FR-1X has been in the market since 2012 (10 years!!). For any electronic device, that's a rather long time. So much has evolved since then (USB-C, better rechargeable batteries, bluetooth, better audio technology, cheaper internal storage, etc.).
In Germany, you can't find the FR-1X available in any major online dealer. You have to order and wait God knows how long so they can deliver it to you.
I'm wondering if it is worth getting it as of September 2022, considering that Roland might release the FR-1X successor rather soon (pure speculation from my side).」
