Focusing just on music …
I still use my LG V20 a lot, but I like having a dedicated device that allows me to focus on the music without the distraction of incoming calls and whatnot, plus I wanted something compact for jogging, so I recently picked up a Shanling M0. Nice little device, impressively powerful for the size (has no trouble with my HD58X in high gain mode) and it even lets me choose digital filters! UI is a bit fiddly but still miles ahead of the Fiio X1 that I used to own.
Apparently I’m a bit of a KZ fanboy. I tried the Moondrop KXXS and really didn’t like it. I’ve enjoyed the KZ ZS7 for a while but the comfort isn’t perfect, so I recently side-graded to the ZS10 Pro. The comfort doesn’t disappoint and the sound is a bit better balanced out of the box than the ZS7, but I still EQ a bit. The M0 doesn’t have parametric EQ, but I just apply my filters when converting from FLAC to MP3 and I’m good to go. If I need to add some flavor on the go, the built-in graphic EQ works okay.
Tips are medium Spinfit CP100. I used to use large, but the longer nozzles on the ZS10 Pro let me go a bit deeper and end up being more comfortable for me.
EDIT - The bluetooth receiver mode is handy too. It’s nice for when I’m at my computer but don’t want to be tethered to my desk. And I can still get my EQ fix by routing audio through PulseEffects before sending it on to bluetooth.
