Hell, you can buy an unlocked phone that will do all this and more for less money. Maybe the battery life is better, but if you get a phone with a power saving setting and airplane mode probably not a huge difference. Amazon has a bunch under $150. These are unfortunately relics from yesteryear.
I'm not understanding how this is worth $168 with 16gb. It does the same thing my phone does but is an extra device i have to carry. You might as well get a 10+ year old iPod Classic with 120gb.
Better battery life than your phone? Get a similar size external battery for 1/5 of the cost of this device.
Free up space on your phone? Could have added $50-100 when you bought the phone to double the storage for a fraction of the price of this device.

Why is it so difficult for people to accept that there will always be a segment of the population who will care about pristine sound quality? For the rest, this product is not for them and they should just move on.
Ps: all those saying their iphone or iPod touch can play xyz format and therefore is equivalent, you really need to listen to the same high quality audio on such a device side by side with their phone to know the difference. Again, the difference may not matter to you but their IS a big difference.

Many smartphones do not have expandable storage (microsd slot) these days, so those of us with a large library of music cannot load it into most smartphones today. But using one of these players that can accept large microsd cards, we can load our entire library onto a large microsd and use it on the player and be able to take our library with us. Of course, those with small libraries or who just listen to streaming always, this would not be much of a benefit to them.
