4 to 5 hours battery life for an audio player is like a crime. I also don`t get these cheap audio players with big screens , what is the point? My Shanling Q1 from 2020 has a very small screen but it gets the job done totally. Plus it lasts for 20 hours easily.
I agree, 4 hours is not enough. But why the big screen? Because it runs android. You don't want to see an android with a 3" screen like on Q1. Android means it's power hungry but unlike Q1 it's support apps.
@Ryubiru I can only agree if you need streaming platforms like Tidal or Spotify you will need apps. But if you use streaming apps then you have to deal with low battery life. I only listen offline music so I would definitely prefer daps with high battery life
There *IS* another option for people who want to use their phone for portable Hi-fi: a dongle DAC or dongle DAC/Amp. Fiio offers dongle DACs (KA17) and even Bluetooth dongle DAC/Amps (BTR17) at a similar price point to this with THX certification and stronger amplification for an alternative mobile Hi-fi solution.
I have KA17 and BTR7, I personally prefer my KA17 because I find it to be more analytical but the BTR7 to be more musical. Haven't tried the BTR17 but I feel it be somewhat similar to my BTR7.

rated 9.5 to 12hours but this review only 4 to 5, thats very far apart
better to just go headfi if want better review
@lcwpg what is the difference? In headfi max they will say in low gain you will get better battery life and that's it. Even 10 hours is abismal.
@S_G_86 probably optimization issue, that is why I didnt buy one yet.. gonna wait and see if the issues and battery improved or not
Hi bro, Your videos are awsome🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Thank you.
the sd card slot should have a cover
Please do a redmi k80 pro review
Yes, it's coming.
We need a more realistic batter assesment.. no one is using IEMs maxed out on this
yo when is the nubia z70 ultra review coming out?
That battery life is a real deal breaker.
Interstellar ingesting style for today....
Watching this in my newly received jm21. 🤣
Things that impact sound - 95% headphones, 4% output power from DAP, 1% Tips, .01% how high quality your files are.

I wish phones these days have high quality DAC like the LG phones before. People are too obsessed with benchmark numbers
The closest one for now is Moondrop MIAD 01, but compare it to LG V60 seems like unfair
