Reply to Since when do all audio players have terrible battery life? by Brotten

opened a random AK player, 20 hours.
But you have to realize people these days demand super high res screen, super high res dac and whatever else components, all of that needs energy.

Same with phones. Yes of course your nokia 3310 lasted a week, but you played a little snake on it and that's it. Now you watch 4k midget porn for hours daily.

Reply to Big Chillin by shakakhon

Some eye candy that might also be the best setup I've ever heard. Zmf Verite Closed Stabilized with a custom and rare Woo Audio WA4 amp. Soundstage is so good that it makes no sense for a closed back headphone. Also very comfortable for being that big. The amp doubles as a space heater and is powerful enough to properly drive an he6se. Very powerful and clean sound with some tube euphonics and roundness to the notes without losing any bass extension (treble might be reduced a bit, I need to listen more critically). Hopefully this is endgame... for now.

Well i have no idea where you searched or what your budget is, but after a quick look i found this 90€ one with 35 hours of advertised playtime: https://geizhals.at/sony-nw-e393-4gb-schwarz-a1400537.html?hloc=at&hloc=de&hloc=eu&hloc=pl&hloc=uk

I have no idea if this is a good deal or not tho, i have absolutely no experience in that space, and i normally just use my phone

Those headphones are not that hard to drive. You should get very listenable volume from your pc's headphone jack (these days), probably higher volume than you'd ever be comfortable listening to them. Audio quality might not be the best of the best, but if you're not in the market for an external dac/amp, you should be fine with mobo.

>The thing is, i listen to a little bit of everything.

I'm exactly the same and unfortunately I'm yet to find a definitive "all-rounder" IEM.

I haven't had the chance to listen to other US$500 IEMs than the Variations, but in my research everyone always ends at the "ten US$50 IEMs are better than a single US$500 one" argument (at least in frequency response, and not in "technicalities").
