    What I like about Dank, is that he's a rare breed of "not-an-asshole-audiophile" person. The kind of guy that if I told him I mainly listen to music through a 2.1 Altec-Lansing desktop system or a USB LogiTech headset, he'd probably respond "as long as it works mate, but maybe grab a pair of Senny hundos."

      @@Kartoshka177 It is something to do with the SoC being the Exynos 7872, so that's effectively the main engine of the M15. You can download the Apple Music app from the Playstore, but you can never log into it. When you submit your user credentials, it just loops back to the log in screen. I don't really know what the issue is, but I'm guessing it has something to do with cryptography / security used by Apple accounts that is not supported on this SoC.

Not necessarily, but it's about your enjoyment and what you get out of the hobby which is listening to music in the best ways possible. Also, who cares how Drake listens to music? If he doesn't use audiophile gear to listen to music, that has nothing to do with how others listen to music and if it's pointless or not.

    I'd argue that some speakers can sound more detailed than most headphones in a well treated room. Since I got my Barefoot monitors I realized I can hear subtle distortion and phase issues much better on them than any cans I've tried, mostly because you get much more of a stereo image than with two drivers facing directly down your earholes with no crosstalk :D

      It's "worse" because Apple has full control over all the hardware inside, so they can optimize it very, very well. This means that they're actually very comparable to Android phones (and sometimes even faster). But don't take my word for it:

      As for the "closed down OS", if you're not tinkering around with it and messing with the filesystem then you shouldn't really care. I like to do just that, which is why I, when I finally got the money to do so, went from an iPhone6/iPod Touch to a Zenfone 6. But some don't and just let the software guys at Apple handle that for them, so it shouldn't matter to them. As long as you can do whatever it is you need to do then you don't need the complexity and flexibility Android offers.
      *EDIT:* Spelling and such.
