I got Voice Xtreme x5, last night for the new cheap price. However, I did not find a guide for new users to root it. I spent some time on trying various tools and got one working.
This procedure works for me but I cannot guarantee that It will work for you and not brick your device. My device is running updated android KitKat (new device) with following info (extracted using MtkDroidTools v2.5.3):

1. Download iRoot (formerly vRoot).I am not sure, I go for developing a CWM recovery. But, I certainly have no plans for developing a custom ROM.
2. Run iRoot, First time it will update its supported devices list.3. Start Rooting using iRoot. It will take a while installing its software on the android device and connecting it.
4. If rooting is successfully completed, you will see:5. In the phone you will find two new apps (see below figure), the left one could be uninstalled easily. However the right one is in System memory. You can either keep it or delete it. If you keep the apps the permission prompts will be in Chinese.6. Install SuperSU and run it. It will ask you to update binary, do it. When SuperSU will try to update the binary, the existing Chinese version of the SuperSU will ask for permission multiple times (in Chinese), click right button to allow every time.
7. Restart device, disable the Chinese app or uninstall (with a system uninstaller like SystemCleanup).
8. Have fun with the rooting device. You can verify the root by using an app like Root Checker.
