• The headphone jack is totally valid for some. I’d not used a 3.5mm plug-in pair for sooooo many years (actually I bought my first pair of IEMs a few weeks ago for my new music journey, so there’s that!), so bluetooth is just my default go-to these days. But for some who prefer wired this will 100% be a let down, or a deciding factor

• The back-firing speaker is fine when you hold and play it. Not once have I covered it with my hands or fingers! The only time it is a factor that drove me nuts was when I’d lay it down on a surface, face-up. That is when it gets muffled

• The battery is perfectly fine! 5-6 hours with pushing it on higher systems, and maybe 6-7 with basic GB?

The best part is that you know exactly what you love, and what works for you. Lots of people make fun of how often devices get released, but the best part of that is that there really is a device for everyone!
