Will measure it once its actually dead and recharged. been around 50 minutes since the battery was shown as 0% and it is still going like a zombie.
(I do think it should actually die in around 10 min though.)

aaaa, damn it. Was off by 5 minutes. 
Famue BF01, 100-0%, continous music playback = 29 hours 55 minutes.

max volume?
No, its the volume I would use normally.

Cool! I guess it doesnāt do USB audio 
, looks like a nice little feature set for a simple player though. Wonder what dac/amp chip theyāve packed in there. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006395131911.html

If you mean using a dongle in it, I will confirm sooner or later.
I will measure the OI and output power so if its similar to something else I have we might be able to tell that way.

Yeah, exactly. If it could, that would be pretty amazing.
Good idea, maybe even see what bit depth/sample rate itās working at (or resampling PCM to).

it is usb c so shouldnt be a problem.
that i cannot see.

It depends on what OS theyāre running. Looks proprietary, but maybe itās some AOSP variant. I wouldnāt take it for granted that itāll do USB audio.
You donāt have a soundcard+audacity, or an oscilloscope? Record the audio coming out of it, then you could analyze it quickly in audacity to see bit-depth/rate.
This video shows it.
Do keep in mind to not take this channel seriously, everyone in the eink world hates them lol.
aa thats what you meant.

Hmm, I guess that flac playback problem he shows has to do with it not doing internal resampling, or not accommodating certain bit-depths. Would be interesting to experiment a bit with which files itāll accommodate.
I will see if I can confirm it, i did not hear any issues during the battery test though and I did have mostly flac files.

I bought the highly hyped Simgot EA500 LM as an alternative to the similarly priced Letshouer Galileo, a set I enjoy. Started A/B testing today.
Despite the breathless hype, the EA500 LM sounds largely like a sidegrade to the Galileo. It has more detail because the treble doesnāt roll off as steeply after 10 kHz, but the EA500 LM treble is a bit tizzy and metallic to my ears on some tracks. (Full disclosure: Iām not a treble head and am sensitive to excessive treble due to tinnitus.)
Plus, I think the bass surprisingly is about a push, with possibly an edge to the Galileo. The Galileo bass is a bit more pinpoint and precise. The EA500 LM with the stock nozzles had surprisingly thin bass compared to what I expected. Sub-bass is present, but the mid-bass wasnāt as precise as the Galileo. The Galileo has better separation and imaging and better note weight. Plus its timbre is less metallic and more organic. But its vocals are a tad more shouty than the EA500 LM.
A main nitpick with the Galileo is that the rolled-off bass and treble forces too much of the sound spectrum into the mids. The mids are handled very well, but you still feel like youāre not getting the entire spectrum of sound.
Youāll like the EA500 LM if youāre a treble head or crave the last bit of detail. Otherwise, I think the Galileo and EA500 LM are peers, and I think I slightly prefer the more relaxed treble/tuning, superior imaging and more organic timbre of the Galileo.
I expected the EA500 LM to blow me away based on the hype. My mind remains intact.
Much more comparison listening to come.
EDIT: I rolled the EA500 LMās tips to the biggest size, and the sub-bass came alive. Thereās more there than the Galileo. But the Galileoās bass ā both sub- and mid- ā is more precise.

Seeing those next to each other, Ziigaat wins for me because of 300hz - 8k, just beautiful.
In that zone I canāt take any more, nor do I think more belongs there in the first placeā¦
I actually have that and the Cinocotres in cart, just hoping for a graph to show up before the sale endsā¦haha

Iām with you on that. Iām leaning towards the Ziigaat. I was looking for graphs on the other Ziigaat and havenāt been able to find any

Fantastic short but very concise article, my friend. I love how to the point it is.
Iām not surprised that the LM is a hit or miss for some, looking through the smoke that is the heavy hype behind the Simgot stuff can be very revealing.

That hit me right in the ears too and I havenāt even listened to them.
LOUD NOISES! 
Agreed @domq422 on the short.
@pk500 As you might be into a similar sound as I, What are some of your go to in ears?

I do think the Galileo gets overlooked, but I still tend to like the Kailua over it, but I am an admitted basshead, and that is where the difference lies between those two IEMs.
@thoohil I was watching that video when I stumbled on to your post, and I have been debating these. I was interest3e in the Hype4, but the price was a bit steep.

Iām not an IEM dude, so this is my first true venture into them other than having a pair of Truthear Holas and the original 7Hz Salnotes Zero lying around as beater pairs for chores.
I did own a pair of Moondrop Starfield in 2020 but sold them. Fine but boring. Plus the value-price proportion is crazy now in IEMs ā the $55 Crinacle Zero Red BLOWS AWAY the Starfield at half the price. Too bad the Crin Zero Red nozzles are so long they feel like theyāre piercing my brain.
Hereās why you should give every new can and IEM plenty of listening time: Brain burn-in is a REAL thing, fellow audiophiles. The EA500 LM is growing on me after that tip swap to get more bass. My brain is adjusting to the treble, which is more than Iām used to with my daily driver over-ears of the LCD-X 2021 and the HD 6XX.
If you want an IEM for $55 or less, donāt pass go, donāt collect $200 and head straight to the Truthear Zero Red Crinacle. Tremendous tuning for $55. Not quite as much detail or separation as the EA500 LM or the Galileo, but those punch in higher weight and price classes. Too bad the Crin Zero Redās nozzle is a brain probe. I canāt take the discomfort.
Iām still torn on whether Iāll keep the EA500 LM or the Galileo. If Timmy (Gizaudio) created a Galileo 2 with a bit more bass and treble extension and a touch less shout in the vocals, it would be an absolutely dreamy IEM for me.
As Mick sings ā¦ you canāt always get what you want. 
Plenty of listening ahead ā¦ Amazon gives me the time I need to decide.
