I've owned an Edge305 for several months now & I do really like it. I'm a long distance rider/tourist and sometime racer. For training, it's got some nice features/capabilities. The biggest drawbacks that I'd like to see addressed are batt life & routing. Couldn,t they put some type of solar panel? Creating routes (several) & loading them is very nice, but the memory is very limited. If the 705, with it's micro sd card lets you use that to load routes that have been programmed, that would be great! Are the heart-rate and cadence/wheelspeed sensors the same as the 305, so that all you have to do is get the 705 unit only? Other than that, the features of the 705 don't sound much different than the 305.
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.
