Is there a better mp3 player?

>>106298113 (OP)
My computer is pretty good.

My phone is pretty good.

Zune was good in it's day.
But for a dedicated current day player? Not that aware of

In what way is this superior to the Fuze?

>>106298113 (OP)
My phone, although I use the superior vorbis instead of mp3

>>106298113 (OP)
this was average even back then

>>106298152

i used to run through these so fast before i got a proper smartphone

>better mp3 player
yes, it's called your phone

Countless. you ever actually heard one? Very mushy, muddy sound. Easy to record. I may get a few Clips soon to make money off of, then I can record them. They suck as in a recording, but supposedly kick ass in EE nerd measurements of no use to anyone.

Any Rockbox-supported iPod. Especially ones where storage can be upgraded. Hell, the ones Rockbox doesn't support too.

Everything in audio that "measures good" sounds like shit. It's just nerds having a temper tantrum. A scam just like CO2 Emissions, Covid cases, etc. Anyone posting charts deserves a wedgie and if continued, duct-taped to a flag post. Anyone using phrases like "Harman target" needs to be exterminated or castrated.

>Greatly reduced count of physical buttons that offer significant tactile feedback, potentially even none at all if the buttons need to be pressed through a case
>Need to drain battery to run an overspecced screen, modem and other features just to use the smartphone
>Many smartphones dropped the 3.5mm jack, so you need wireless or a dongle
>Smartphone carries personal data, so needs to be locked
>Smartphone is heavy, usually fragile and definitely not a form factor that can just be clipped to a lapel or whatever, so kind of bad for sports
Phones are bad portable music players.

i have an old ass galaxy S3 that i use as my outdoors music player.
clipped it to my waistband and it just works. don't have it connected to anything since it doesn't work on modern cell towers anymore. it was just my old phone from ages ago so it cost me nothing and i don't give a shit if i drop it.
can even take pictures if i see something funny.

Unironically one you can put AA batteries in. Better for the upcoming troubles :3

>>106298113 (OP)
I have some nameless chink shit player with a microSD port, works like a charm. Once its battery died I ordered 10 replacements from China, they'll last the rest of my life.

I miss my Clip Zip. What a champion of a device. Fully rootable and hackable, and quite versatile.

If only.

it's >>106303418 somewhat similar to >>106303501 in overall layout, it's even smaller than my dumb phone

Are there any IEMs that are as comfortable and discreet as the Shure SE215s? Also need good passive isolation with foam tips.

sennheiser ie300/ie200

I had 300 and thought they were freaking great, but internet seemed to hate them and got discontinued. Honestly felt like a se215++
