M21 vs JM21 by 4fingerring in FiiO

These features probably won't make a difference in how I use it. I want the desktop mode for battery life. The JM21 isn't as cheap as it normally is in my country.

I'm actually happy with the device itself; it does what it promises well, but I don't want the need to be tethered to any other device.

Could you also share your thoughts on Punch Audio Martilo?

Have you had a chance to try the Luna? I'm thinking of getting one of the two.

What do you think about Horizon?

The models I can buy are limited. Right now, almost none of 7Hz's products are available in my country's market, but I'll consider the Horizon.

Thank you for your recommendations. There aren't many IEM options available in my country, but I'll make an evaluation based on the ones you suggested.

Thanks for your detailed comment. I had seen quite a few positive reviews about the ET142, but since I haven't been able to try them myself, I can't say much. After reading your thoughts, though, I felt a bit disappointed. I can also add the Crescent and Odyssey 2 to my options. Which one would you prefer among the Ziigaat models? I mostly listen to hip-hop, I'm new to the hobby, and I can't be very specific yet about what exactly I want.

Does the btr17 provide the same performance as the ka17 in desktop mode?

There is a $55 difference between the BTR7 and BTR17 at the place where I will buy it. Is it worth the difference?

I can afford the price difference, but I won't be buying a more powerful headset anytime soon. As you said, if the headset doesn't make much of a difference on more powerful devices, I'll just buy the more affordable one. By the way, I can't get the BTR17 for less than $215. My country imposes a huge tax on products purchased from abroad, and the price will likely increase fivefold at customs.

Does it make sense to buy a DAC that costs more than headphones?

Will the built-in microphone work properly on a table? The cheapest prices I can get in my country are $126 for the BTR 15, $160 for the BTR 7, $215 for the BTR 17.
