These are DAPs, and they are ment for the audiophiles. They are not the average mp3 player. You will need also proper headphones for those.

Are they worth it? Yes, if you have money for burning.

What's the average mp3 player these days? I use an old FiiO but they've discontinued the budget edition that I have and I don't know where I'll turn if anything happens to this one.

Edit - FiiO does offer a new version of what they call a "budget DAP", the JM21, for $199, but even if it seems better than the others on the market that's maybe three times as much as their old one cost me. Dammit. Well, my current one had better last.

Buy a decade old smartphone with a headphone jack and just use it for music?

Pretty much this, dunno why people are overthinking it.

They have also some nice ones at $400-500, i see. Like the M11.
