FiiO are only really popular with audiophiles who claim they can hear the difference. For everyone else, if you&#x27;re going to blow $200 on an MP3 player you may have well get an iPod (e.g. iPod Touch) since it unlocks far more potential (apps).<p>I am personally rather partial to the &quot;Sandisk Clip Jam.&quot; It is roughly $30-40, is a glorified micro-SD card player (up to 32 GB), and has tons of battery life. Great for when a smartphone is too large and cheaper than a iPod Nano.<p>The FiiO is just either too expensive or too large.
