2 month review: It mostly works fine!

Cons:

  • The software is definitely missing UI/UX features
  • The software definitely has minor-to-medium bugs (especially bluetooth... and OS crashes...)
  • The hardware quality definitely isn't great

Pros:

  • It plays music!
  • It has a headphone jack
  • Battery life is decent (can go about 5 days without needing recharge, standby works great)
  • UI is snappy
  • Loading music onto it is easy
  • It's open source

Normally, I search for an album and then play the album. That works 100% fine on wired headphones.

Simple use case. It works. I don't regret buying this (yet).

I am super duper hoping they keep working on the code though. The software definitely needs more attention.
