Reviews
Sound quality blew me away right from the first track. The balanced output drives my headphones with plenty of power and the details in high res files come through clearly. Battery lasts all day during my commute.
Screen looks sharp and the touch response feels smooth while browsing music apps. I love how the player handles both streaming and local files without issues. It replaced my old device completely.
Build feels solid in the hand and the volume wheel works nicely. Music sounds natural with good separation between instruments. Quick charging gets me back to listening fast after a long session.
