The size of this device makes it very easy to stuff in a pocket or hold in a hand and listen to music on the go, while stationary working at a desk or even while driving your car. I have run many workout sessions both actually running and doing strength workouts and the size of being able to move this device with you while listening to earbuds compared to bulky modern smartphone is invaluable, once you get used it you don't want to go back to listening to music on the bigger phone while working out
As for the meat of the device, the sound quality. I listen to music on the "Direct Source" EQ Setting on which should mean no post processing (no EQ no loudening, ect) to get the most unaltered sound that the device will put out. Of course all that I will put down will be from my perception with my sound gear, and the music sources I listen to.
I currently use the Final Audio A5000's and a bit of the Campfire Holocenes. But 99% the A5000's. So there is already a little bass heavy bias to sounds heard cause that's just what the A5000's put out compared to what other things I've used.
Music for the most part is as clear as an Audiophile on the go could want. Orchestral songs sound great with Cymbals crashing, String instruments being Arco'd or Brass sounding off loud or subtle. As long as there is good Audio sources and good headphones/IEMs, a great orchestral experience is expected. If someone likes to listen to EDM, Vaporwave, 80s or Techno Music, then there is plenty to…
