I think phones have generally taken over MP3 players because you can do everything an MP3 player does on your phone.

But I recently bought one because I just like a single device having that unique purpose of playing music.

    Great points and I agree. I use the original Samsung Buds Pro and those sound fantastic using LDAC with my S21.

    We live in a great time for portable audio to be able to get this kind of sound and performance out of something we can carry with us everywhere we go. I really only listen to my full size non-bluetooth headphones at home, and usually I am using my SMSL desktop headphone amp for that.

      Not only do I agree, but my first portable music player was a knock off one of these, so it’s possible that I love the current state of things so much partly because I’ve seen how shitty it could be. 😁
